# CommercialSewer.ca

> Commercial sewer decisions for Calgary property managers: access, evidence, downtime and a clear scope of work. CommercialSewer.ca is part of the HAUSE Sewer network — an independent Canadian information and service-request network (not a contractor). Contact: sewers@hause.ca, 403-679-3100.

A commercial sewer job works better when the asset, access and desired evidence are clear. Use this portal to separate kitchen lines, shared private sewers, inspection and repair, then turn the facts you know into a request outline. HAUSE supplies information and service requests; it does not perform the work.
