WaterWork Plumbing: hydrojetting for Birmingham’s historic sewer lines
Birmingham is one of the oldest communities in the region. It was founded in 1818 where the Rouge River crossed the Saginaw Trail, the road we now call Woodward, and it has the housing stock to match. The John West Hunter House dates to 1822 and is one of the oldest intact homes in the Lower Peninsula. In neighborhoods like Quarton Lake Estates and Poppleton Park, homes are 50 to 100 years old and many still run on their original clay tile sewer laterals. We’ve put cameras down enough of these lines to know the pattern: joints that have shifted over decades of freeze-thaw, scale narrowing the pipe, and roots growing straight through the seams.
Birmingham’s tree canopy is one of the best things about the city and one of the hardest things on its sewer lines. Mature silver maples, Norway maples, and oaks shade these older neighborhoods, and their roots have had decades to reach the clay laterals underneath. A pipe carrying warm water and nutrients is exactly what they grow toward, and once a root finds a cracked or offset joint it keeps coming back, catching grease and debris until the line backs up.
Water is the other factor. The main branch of the Rouge River runs through the west side of Birmingham and feeds Quarton Lake, so lower-lying and riverside properties sit on higher water tables and saturated soil. When the area takes one of the multi-inch downpours it sees most springs, like the August 2014 and June 2021 storms that flooded basements across Oakland County, a partially clogged lateral is what stands between you and a backup. A standard drain snake punches a hole through the clog and leaves the rest coating the walls, so it returns. WaterWork’s hydrojetting strips the line back to close to its original diameter, which is the capacity an older Birmingham lateral needs when the ground is full of water.
