Sewer Conditions in Calhoun and Western Ouachita Parish
Calhoun and the surrounding western Ouachita Parish area present a specific set of sewer conditions that differ in some ways from Monroe's urban core.
Septic systems vs municipal sewer
Many Calhoun area properties are on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer service. Our sewer line services apply to the lateral pipes and drain systems that connect to septic tanks, not just to municipal sewer connections. Sewer line problems including root intrusion, collapsed laterals, and pipe belly formation occur in septic-connected systems just as they do in municipal connected homes.
Rural lot sizes and mature trees
Calhoun properties tend to have larger lot sizes than Monroe urban homes, with more trees and more extensive root systems in proximity to sewer and drain laterals. Root intrusion into lateral pipes is a consistent issue throughout the area.
Older housing stock along Highway 80 and I-20 corridor
Many of the established homes in the Calhoun area date from the 1950s through 1970s. These homes have the same clay tile, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipe concerns found throughout Ouachita Parish's mid-century residential construction.
Clay soil throughout western Ouachita Parish
The heavy clay soil characteristic of this region creates ground movement that stresses underground pipe joints and causes settling, bellying, and joint offset in both older and newer pipe systems.
Limited local contractor availability
Rural areas like Calhoun have fewer contractors operating in the immediate vicinity. This can mean longer response times and fewer options when a problem develops. We cover Calhoun as part of our Ouachita Parish service area and treat Calhoun calls with the same priority as any other location we serve.
