Drain & Sewer in Mercer Island, WA

Drain and Sewer in Mercer Island: what's different here
Lakefront homes sit low and close to the water table, and ridge homes have long, steep sewer laterals, so the plumbing approach depends on where the house sits. Older Mercer Island homes often have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and tree roots in neighborhoods like East Seattle 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 Mercer Island go through the City of Mercer Island Permit Center. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities
Most Mercer Island homes are on city water and sewer, so the main shutoff and sewer cleanout are usually easy to find.
