Hi Andy,
Please make contact with Mr. Miller to find out where the issue is in his line. If it behind the sidewalk then it is likely on his property and a private plumbing issue. In regards to the inspection from the early 90’s, if the County doesn’t have record of it then they likely no longer exist. The inspections would have been signed off and given to the builder at the time of construction. Thanks.

Hello,
On June 28, 2018 our downstairs toilet overflowed due to the sewer pipes being clogged. The cause was backup over years because of root entry down at, or near the sidewalk. So far, we are $365 into the repair by having Roto-Rooter come out and discover the issue and cut the roots.
The issue discovered was a misconnection at one of the joints, this is where the roots were able to get into the piping.
What I need from the City of Molalla is to come out fix this issue. If you could also provide when the City of Molalla signed off on inspection of the sewer connection from the street to the house, please. I believe the records should be around 1993 -1995 when the house was built.
Please feel free to contact me at 503-829-3236. I will be calling the City of Molalla today to discuss this issue.
Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter.
Regards,
Gary Miller
