Sewer Service for Tigard Homes and Businesses
Clean Water Services runs the public sewer here, and the property owner is responsible for the private lateral. When a crack, offset joint or root intrusion sits in the public right-of-way, Clean Water Services repairs it; a sag or belly there isn't covered. So every job starts with marking exactly where each problem is.
That can save you money, because a defect past your property line may not be yours to pay for.
Homes from the '70s and '80s
Aging Lines in 1970s and 1980s Homes
A large share of homes here went up in the 1970s and 1980s, so many sewer lines are now roughly 35 to 55 years old. That's when joints start to shift, roots find their way in and pipe begins to sag.
Newer subdivisions have younger pipe, but an inspection before buying can still catch poor slope or damage from later landscaping. Plumbing permits for sewer work are issued by the City of Tigard Building Division.

What Owners Ask Us
Do you work in Tigard?
Yes. Call (503) 221-5373.
Will Clean Water Services fix a break under the street?
For structural defects such as cracks, offset joints or roots in the public right-of-way, Clean Water Services handles the repair. A sag there isn't covered, so it pays to know which side of the line the problem is on.
Do you work on newer homes?
Yes. Newer lines can still have poor slope or damage from landscaping.
Can you fix a line under a patio?
Often, yes, from two small pits instead of a trench. If the pipe has collapsed, that section needs digging.
