Plumbing help in Des Moines
Des Moines is a waterfront community on the slope down to Puget Sound - post-war cottages and mid-century homes near the water, plus the residential streets further up the hill. Waterfront-adjacent lots mean drainage and elevation issues on some properties, and the housing stock leans older: original-era laterals and supply lines are common in the established blocks.
What gets called in around Des Moines?
- Sewer scopes and lateral repairs, post-war clay laterals
- Drainage and sump work, slope lots and groundwater above the Sound
