May 2016 Pro of the Month: Mitch Wright

Mitch and his team were recently put to the test when faced with a colossal roadblock that would require careful engineering and specialty equipment. Mitch Wright Plumbing was called by a residential customer in Germantown (Memphis), TN who was experiencing slow drains. Upon investigating the situation, the plumbers found extensive root infiltration in the home’s main sewer line. They also discovered that the house had an old clay pipe that was collapsing and needed total replacement. Due to the condition of the pipe, relining was not an option for these homeowners. There were also several large, mature trees in the front of the home, coupled with a large landscaped berm forming a natural water barrier. Clearly, traditional approaches to trenching and replacing the sewer pipe were not possible.
