Re: Damage to a neighbor's sewer
It actually depends upon what type of municipal ordinance (if any) is in place that pertains to the issue.
The generaly consensus is of common law in which the land owner has no duty to those outside his property to correct natural conditions. The best option might be to speak with the owner of the property and try to come to an equitable agreement, perhaps sharing the cost of repairs.
