Homes around the medical and tech campuses off Highway 151 are largely 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, and sewer laterals from that era were built from materials with a known service life. In Westover Hills we see clay and cast iron regularly, and both fail in ways a camera makes obvious.
The ground here is clay soil with caliche pockets, and Westover Hills homes are largely 1990s and 2000s subdivisions. Those two facts together produce slab leaks in original copper under 1990s foundations — the reason a line that ran fine for thirty years starts backing up twice a season.
In older parts of Westover Hills, brick-and-siding suburban homes on compact lots and mature landscaping constrain the approach. We plan the route around what you would hate to lose, rather than taking the shortest line to the main.
