WaterWork Plumbing: hydrojetting for Royal Oak’s older homes
Royal Oak is a dense inner-ring suburb built mostly between the 1920s and 1950s, which puts much of the city on vitrified clay tile laterals and cast iron drains. It is also a longtime Tree City USA with a mature, silver-maple-heavy canopy. More about the city is at the City of Royal Oak.
Those big old trees over old clay pipe make root intrusion a leading problem here. Royal Oak also runs a combined sewer in the George W. Kuhn district, and the historic August 2014 storm caused widespread basement backups across the city. When the combined sewer is under pressure, a partially blocked lateral is what floods your basement.
A cable snake punches through a root mass and clears the clog for a while, but it leaves the roots and buildup on the pipe walls, so it grows back. WaterWork’s hydrojetting uses a root-cutting nozzle to clear the intrusion and scour the line back to close to its original diameter. Because these are older clay laterals, we camera the line first and set our pressure to match what the pipe can safely take.
