Sewer Line Repair in Tacoma: what is different here
Many Tacoma side sewers, the pipe from your house to the public main, are clay or cast iron from the early 1900s, with street tree roots in the joints. We repair or replace them in the North End, Hilltop and across the city from our southeast side base. Check with City of Tacoma Planning and Development Services before work starts.
