Sewer & drain service in Chevy Chase

Clay pipe is remarkably durable in one sense — it does not rust, and intact sections can outlast several generations of owners. Its weakness is entirely at the joints. Century-old mortar joints have had a very long time to shift with the ground, and every one of them is a potential entry point for roots and groundwater. Under the mature canopy along Connecticut Avenue and through the older sections, that is precisely what happens.

These are also properties where an open trench is close to unthinkable — established gardens, brick and stone hardscape, and trees older than the houses. Trenchless lining does the work through existing access points and leaves the surface as it found it, which on a Chevy Chase property is usually the deciding factor.
