Drain and Sewer in Seattle: what's different here
Older Seattle housing stock means galvanized supply lines and clay or cast-iron sewer laterals are still common. Older Seattle homes often have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and tree roots in neighborhoods like Madison Park 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 Seattle go through Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI). When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities
Most Seattle homes are on city water and sewer, so the main shutoff and sewer cleanout are usually easy to find.
