Historic Watch District Dispatch
Managing Historic Worker Cottage Drainage
National Watch District homes frequently feature narrow 3-inch main sewer laterals rather than modern 4-inch lines. These tighter tolerances mean that even moderate grease accumulation or minor root intrusion causes sudden sewage backups into basement floor drains.
Our specialists carry compact high-torque drum snakes and miniature inspection cameras tailored to maneuver tight historic drainage bends.
