WaterWork Plumbing: Your Go-To Hydrojetting Experts in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor is one of the oldest cities in Michigan, founded in 1824, and a lot of its homes show it. In neighborhoods like the Old Fourth Ward and Burns Park, houses date back to the 1800s and early 1900s, and many still run on their original clay tile or cast iron sewer laterals. We’ve sent cameras down enough of these lines to know what’s waiting: clay joints that have shifted over a century of Michigan freeze-thaw cycles, cast iron walls thick with scale, and tree roots from the city’s mature canopy growing straight through the seams.
Ann Arbor’s sewer history makes buildup a bigger deal here than in most places. After years of sanitary sewer backups flooding basements, the city launched its Footing Drain Disconnect Program, pulling footing drains off the sanitary sewer and putting homeowners on sump pumps to take pressure off the system. Downtown, much of that system still drains toward the old Allen Creek line, buried under the city since 1926. The takeaway for a homeowner is simple: when your lateral is partially clogged and a heavy rain hits, that’s when sewage finds its way back into your basement.
A standard drain snake punches a hole through the clog and leaves the rest of the buildup coating your pipe walls, so it comes back. WaterWork’s hydrojetting strips the line down to close to its original diameter, which is what an old Ann Arbor lateral actually needs to keep up during a storm. Because so many homes here have aging clay and cast iron, we camera the line first and set our pressure to match what the pipe can safely take before we ever start jetting
