The Cherry Hill corridor runs through Dearborn's southern neighborhoods where 1950sā60s homes face the classic trifecta: aging copper, failing cast iron, and tree-root sewer damage.
(313) 810-7320 ā Call NowThe Cherry Hill area covers Dearborn's southern residential belt ā the neighborhoods along Cherry Hill Road, Military Street, and the blocks between Outer Drive and the Dearborn Heights border. These 1950s and 1960s homes represent the peak of Dearborn's suburban expansion, built during the Ford boom when the city was growing faster than almost anywhere in Michigan.
The plumbing installed during this era ā copper water lines, cast iron drain stacks, and clay tile sewer laterals ā was quality work by the standards of the time. But time is the problem. Copper develops pinhole leaks. Cast iron cracks at joints. Clay tile separates and lets roots in. All of these materials are now at or past their designed service life.
The silver maples and elms that line Cherry Hill's residential streets make sewer problems worse. Their aggressive root systems seek out the moisture in sewer pipe joints and can fill a 4-inch line with a dense root mass in a single growing season.
