Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Across the 1 ZIP code around Clarkson, about 33% of the 2,977 homes were built before 1980. Sewer pipe from that era is now decades old. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Clarkson was built in the 1990s. Housing from the 1980s and 1990s often mixes plastic drain pipe inside with older clay or cast iron in the yard. The joint between them is a known weak spot.
An occasional hard freeze can crack exposed drain pipe, and heavy rain in the same year can overload the sewer. Backups come from either one. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
