Rochester's charm is its old homes — but old homes come with old sewer lines. Cast iron from the 1920s, clay from the 1950s, Orangeburg from the 1960s: it's all under the lawns downtown. A scope answers the one question no visual inspection can.
Rochester has a a mix of late-1800s historic downtown homes, mid-century ranches, and newer construction on the outskirts. That mix matters — because the underground sewer line on a 60-year-old ranch is a completely different piece of infrastructure than the line on a five-year-old colonial, and the problems we find are era-specific.
We regularly work in the downtown district along Main Street, the older West University area, and newer developments north of Tienken. Downtown Rochester has some of the oldest housing stock in Oakland County — homes dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s that originally ran cast iron or clay. Mid-century homes nearby often have Orangeburg. The pipe situation changes block-by-block here.
The most common issues we document in Rochester are deteriorated cast iron in the oldest homes, clay joint failures, Orangeburg in mid-century properties, and occasionally undocumented lateral repairs from past decades. A 30- to 60-minute sewer scope answers the question that no visual inspection can: what's actually happening inside the line?
