WaterWork Plumbing: hydrojetting for Oak Park’s postwar homes
Oak Park boomed after World War II, growing so fast in the 1950s that it was called one of America’s fastest-growing cities. The median home here was built around 1958, which puts most of the city on cast iron drains and clay tile laterals that are now more than 60 years old. More about the city is at the City of Oak Park.
Oak Park runs on a combined sewer and is one of the 14 communities in the George W. Kuhn drain district, where stormwater and sewage share the same pipes and drain toward the Red Run Drain. In heavy rain, like the 2021 storm that hit the area, that system fills fast and a partially blocked lateral is what backs up into your basement.
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, the capacity an older Oak Park lateral needs when the combined sewer is under pressure. Because these are aging clay and cast iron laterals, we camera the line first and set our pressure to match what the pipe can safely take.
