About Side - Sewer

Side Sewer is a Mukilteo-based septic and sewer service provider with a perfect 5.0 rating from its reviewers. Mukilteo sits along the Puget Sound shoreline in Snohomish County, just north of Edmonds and south of Everett, a location where older residential properties often have complex sewer and septic setups. The name itself points to their specialty: side sewers, which are the private lateral lines connecting a home to the city sewer or septic system. In a coastal community with aging infrastructure, that's a genuinely valuable area of expertise.

Services & Process

Side sewer work involves inspecting, cleaning, repairing, or replacing the private sewer lateral that runs from a home's plumbing to either the municipal sewer main or a septic system. Camera inspections are a standard part of this work, allowing technicians to see inside the pipe and identify cracks, root intrusion, or blockages without digging. Hydro jetting can clear stubborn clogs and buildup that routine snaking can't address. For properties connected to septic rather than the city sewer, this team likely handles tank inspections and pumping as well, covering both ends of the waste management chain.

Service Area

Side Sewer is based in Mukilteo and serves homeowners and property managers throughout Snohomish County and the surrounding area. Communities like Everett, Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Bothell are within their service range, giving the northern Seattle metro area access to their specialized side sewer and septic expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a side sewer and who is responsible for maintaining it?
A side sewer is the private lateral pipe that carries waste from your home to the city sewer main or your septic system. In most municipalities, the homeowner is responsible for the maintenance and repair of this line from the house to the connection point at the street or tank.
How does a sewer camera inspection work?
A technician feeds a flexible camera down the pipe from a cleanout or drain access point, recording live video as it travels through the line. You'll be able to see any cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, or blockages directly, which makes it much easier to understand what kind of repair is needed.
What is hydro jetting and when is it necessary?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast through blockages and clean the interior walls of the pipe, removing grease buildup, root fragments, and debris that a snake can't fully clear. It's typically recommended for lines with recurring clogs or significant buildup that affects flow.
Do Mukilteo homes use septic systems or city sewer?
Most homes in Mukilteo proper are connected to the municipal sewer system, but some older or more rural properties in the surrounding area may still rely on septic. If you're unsure what your home uses, a provider can quickly determine this during a site visit.
How do tree roots get into sewer lines and can it be fixed without digging up the yard?
Roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer pipes through small cracks or loose joints, growing inside the pipe over time until they cause a blockage. Depending on the extent of the damage, hydro jetting can clear smaller root masses, while more serious root intrusion may require a pipe liner or targeted excavation.
Should I get a sewer lateral inspection before buying a home in Snohomish County?
It's one of the smarter things you can do before closing on a property, since standard home inspections rarely include a camera look at the sewer lateral. A failed or damaged lateral can cost thousands to repair, and knowing that before you buy gives you room to negotiate or walk away.
