WHAT A 24 HOUR EMERGENCY PLUMBER SEES GO WRONG IN RICHMOND
Richmond is 1900s-1930s bungalows with very heavy newer infill along Division. Those building years decide what a 24 hour emergency plumber in Richmond gets called out for.
What is behind the walls
Old residential galvanized and clay, directly alongside brand-new multi-family construction.
The local complication
Division's rebuild dropped four-storey buildings onto blocks of century-old houses, and the two sit on the same sewer infrastructure. New construction is on modern materials and behaves predictably; the house next door is on a clay lateral installed when the street was gravel.
Housing stock
1900s-1930s bungalows with very heavy newer infill along Division. Zip 97215, Southeast Portland.
WHY IT FAILS THE WAY IT DOES
Division's rebuild dropped four-storey buildings onto blocks of century-old houses, and the two sit on the same sewer infrastructure. New construction is on modern materials and behaves predictably; the house next door is on a clay lateral installed when the street was gravel. When a block has trouble it is worth establishing which of the two we are dealing with before anything else.
The housing itself is 1900s-1930s bungalows with very heavy newer infill along Division, and old residential galvanized and clay, directly alongside brand-new multi-family construction. That combination is why a Richmond call is quoted differently from one two neighbourhoods over - the same symptom has a different cause here.
Landmarks we use to place a Richmond call quickly: SE Division Street, SE Clinton Street, the Clinton Street Theater and Piccolo Park. If you are anywhere near those, give the nearest cross street and the plumber will find you faster than an address alone in the dark.
