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 Markham (97219), water heaters in this area typically need flushing more often than the national average because of Portland's mineral content, which shortens tank life if skipped.
