WaterWork Plumbing: hydrojetting for Hamtramck’s century-old lines
Hamtramck has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. The city incorporated in 1922, and roughly 61 percent of its homes were built before 1939, most of them dense worker homes from the 1910s and 1920s. That means nearly the whole city runs on original clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals that are now a century old. More about the city is at the City of Hamtramck.
Hamtramck’s aging combined sewer ties into Detroit’s system, and it has a documented history of basement backups and street flooding in heavy rain, including the August 2021 storm. The city has since won relief-sewer and federal flood-reduction funding, but that work is out in the street and does nothing for a lateral that’s already choked with roots and grease.
A standard drain snake leaves the buildup coating your pipe walls, so it comes back. WaterWork’s hydrojetting strips a century-old line back to close to its original diameter, the capacity it needs when the combined main surcharges. Because these pipes are so old, we camera the line first and dial our pressure to match what the pipe can safely take.
