Drain & Sewer in Bellevue, WA

Older sewer lines in Somerset and Lake Hills are more prone to root intrusion than the newer PVC used in recently built Bellevue homes, which is usually the first thing we check on a recurring clog.

Drain and Sewer in Bellevue: what's different here

Homes from the 1960s through 1980s in Lake Hills and Crossroads are reaching the age when original supply lines and water heater connections start to fail, while downtown condo towers bring shared-riser and HOA rules into the job. Older Bellevue homes often have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and tree roots in neighborhoods like Somerset crack and block them. We camera the line before recommending cleaning, repair or replacement.

Permits and inspections

Clearing a drain does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing a side sewer usually does. Mechanical and plumbing permits in Bellevue go through the City of Bellevue Development Services. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.

Utilities

Most Bellevue homes are on city water and sewer, so the main shutoff and sewer cleanout are usually easy to find.
