Thirty Thousand Homes, One Aging Sewer System

Lakewood was famously built almost all at once — tens of thousands of homes raised in the early 1950s in what was then the fastest home construction in America. Seventy years later, that history has a plumbing consequence: entire streets of original clay sewer laterals reaching the end of their service life together. When we camera lines in Lakewood, we are usually looking at the original 1950s pipe, and the question is rarely whether there is wear — it is whether the line is a candidate for lining, or far enough gone to need bursting and full replacement.

Lakewood's mature street trees are the other half of the story. The parkway trees that make neighborhoods around Del Valle Park and Mayfair so pleasant send roots straight into 70-year-old clay joints, which is why so many Lakewood homeowners live with a backup-and-snake cycle every few months. We end that cycle: jet the line clean, show you the entry points on camera, and give you real options — from scheduled maintenance to a sealed, root-proof lined pipe — with flat written pricing either way.

“We had a drain in the laundry room that had been running slow for probably six months. Jetted, scoped, done in an afternoon.”

Quick answers for local homeowners

Every house on my street seems to have sewer problems. Why?

Because the whole street was built in the same two years. Lakewood's laterals are aging out together, which is why we camera the full line before recommending anything.

Roots keep coming back every year — can that actually be stopped?

Yes. Jetting removes the roots; a cured-in-place liner seals the joints they enter through. Lined pipe has no joints, so there is nothing left for roots to find.

Do I have to replace the whole line, or can it be saved?

The camera decides, not us. Sound pipe with root intrusion is usually a lining candidate; collapsed or badly deformed sections point to bursting. You see the footage and the options side by side.
