Root intrusion in old clay and cast iron laterals
Why it happens here
Fitzgerald's mature trees, especially along Bothell Way NE and Fitzgerald Road, send roots into the joints of aging sewer lines. Once roots find moisture, they grow into the pipe and block it, causing sewage to back up into the lowest drain in your home.
Our approach
We clear the immediate backup with a portable sewage pump and wet/dry vacuum, then document the root intrusion with a camera. We treat the affected area with biocide and give you the footage to share with a plumber for a permanent fix.
