Trail's lines
Houses in East Trail, the Gulch and West Trail are some of the oldest in the area, and many may still have their original clay or cast-iron sewer lines.
On the steep streets, a line can run a long way down or across a hillside before it reaches the property line. That length and grade affect the dig and the price.
Tree roots from mature boulevard and yard trees are a common cause of sewer backups in established neighbourhoods.
The City of Trail runs the water and sewer system here.
Typical Trail jobs
Neighbourhoods we cover include East Trail, West Trail, the Gulch, Tadanac, Sunningdale, Glenmerry, Shavers Bench and Miral Heights.
Common Trail jobs are a root-filled clay sewer line, a corroded galvanized water line with weak pressure, or a line that cracked when a retaining wall or driveway was built over it.
Narrow side yards, stairs and retaining walls often stand between the street and the house. We plan machine access before we quote and dig by hand where a machine can't fit.

From our Trail base we also cover Warfield, Montrose and Genelle, and the sewer line replacement section explains a full replacement.
