WS Water & Sewer replaces and repairs water and sewer lines in Montrose, east of Trail along Highway 3B.
Montrose homes
Montrose has a mix of older houses and newer builds. The older ones are the usual candidates for a sewer line or water line replacement.
Many lots are on gentle slopes, which makes for simpler trenching than in hillside Trail.
Before we dig in Montrose, we confirm with the Village which part of the line is yours and which is theirs.
What a Montrose job looks like
A typical Montrose lot has the line running fairly straight from the house to the property line, which keeps the trench simple and the yard repair small.
In most seasons we can visit a Montrose property within the same week.
Watch for slow drains on the lowest floor, a soggy patch that never dries in summer, or a water bill that jumps for no reason. Any of these can point to a failing line.
Lawns and gardens over a line can hide a problem for years. We walk the line with you before digging so you know exactly what will be opened.
