Norwalk, Iowa
Hydro Jetting in Founder's District, Norwalk IA
The Founder's District covers some of the original development in Norwalk and some of the city's oldest homes. Oviatt Elementary sits in the middle of it, and the North and Main Street area adds restaurants and other businesses. A town incorporated in 1900 as a single square mile has had a long time to change its drain lines.
What does the Founder's District history mean for a drain?
Norwalk was incorporated in 1900 with Adam Stiffler as its first mayor, and it got phone service in 1903. Homes from that early period have had more than a century of owners, repairs and additions. A line that old may have been patched or rerouted along the way, and the current owner may not have the records.

What should an owner ask first?
Ask where the cleanout is, what the pipe is made of and whether an inspection shows a defect. In older housing, the first question is usually the condition of the line, not only the blockage.
