Sewage in Brookside? Do NOT Touch It Call Now (302) 400-8531 24/7 Biohazard Response
(302) 400-8531Brookside’s sewage problems stem from aging cast iron drain lines and clay sewer laterals 50-60 years past installation. Cast iron develops internal corrosion, joint failures, and through-wall cracks leaking Category 2-3 water into wall cavities. Clay laterals crack, offset, and fill with roots from Brookside’s mature tree canopy. Drain line failures are insidious they may leak only when the fixture above is used, allowing mold to establish before discovery.
