WaterWork Plumbing: hydrojetting for Grosse Pointe Woods’ aging sewers
Grosse Pointe Woods grew up in the mid-20th century. It was incorporated as the Village of Lochmoor in 1927, renamed in 1939, and became a city in 1950, and its oldest neighborhoods still run on the clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals laid back then. The city’s own Clean Water State Revolving Fund plan notes that some sewers in service are more than 80 years old.
Grosse Pointe Woods runs on a combined sewer that carries stormwater and sewage in the same pipes, and the city has documented that the system has no known design capacity, which leaves homes vulnerable to basement backups in heavy rain. Wet-weather flow is handled through the Milk River retention basin, and the 2021 storm that hit the area filled thousands of basements across the region.
A standard drain snake punches a hole through a clog and leaves the buildup coating the pipe walls, so it comes back. WaterWork’s hydrojetting strips the line back to close to its original diameter, which is the capacity an older Grosse Pointe Woods lateral needs when the combined sewer is under pressure. Because these homes run on aging clay and cast iron, we camera the line first and set our pressure to match what the pipe can safely take.
