WHAT A 24 HOUR EMERGENCY PLUMBER SEES GO WRONG IN SULLIVANS GULCH
Sullivans Gulch is 1900s-1930s houses and apartment buildings along the north rim of the gulch. Those building years decide what a 24 hour emergency plumber in Sullivans Gulch gets called out for.
What is behind the walls
Cast iron and galvanized, with a high proportion of small multi-family buildings sharing stacks.
The local complication
The gulch is a real topographic feature and the neighbourhood sits on its rim, so grade changes quickly across a short distance. In the older apartment buildings a single shared waste stack serves several units, which means one blockage produces several simultaneous complaints and the building needs the main cleared rather than each unit snaked..
Housing stock
1900s-1930s houses and apartment buildings along the north rim of the gulch. Zip 97232, Northeast Portland.
