Mature trees are one of the best things about Portland's older neighborhoods and one of the biggest threats to clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, whose roots find their way into pipe joints over years. Routine cleaning — mechanical cabling or hydro-jetting depending on what's built up — keeps the main line flowing before a slow backup turns into a full blockage. In Lents (97236), cast-iron stacks in older homes in this area gradually crack and leak as they age, which our trucks are stocked to handle.
