July 8, 2011 Noble Hardwick 812 Wetmore Avenue Everett, Washington 98201 Re: Plumbing Investigation at 812 Wetmore Avenue for Backwater Valve Program Dear Noble Hardwick: The City of Everett's contractor, Seattle Drain Services, inspected the plumbing and drainage at your property on January 24, 2011, to determine if a backwater valve is appropriate for your residence. Enclosed is a summary of their findings. The report recommends the installation of a backwater valve in the basement of the house on the private side sewer that connects your home to the City's sewer main to reduce the risk of basement flooding from sewer backups. Please review the report and contact us with any questions. The next step is for you to confirm that you want to proceed with the installation of a backwater valve. To do that, please call Grant Moen at (425) 257-8947, preferably before July 25, 2011, and confirm your desire to have the City coordinate and fund the installation of a backwater valve within your basement. After receiving your authorization, the City will hire a contractor to install the backwater valve in accordance with the installation and maintenance agreement documents you previously signed. Once hired, the contractor will contact you to schedule the installation. However, this is still a few weeks away. At the conclusion of the work, the basement floor will be repaired and a cleanout will be provided so that you will be able to access, maintain, and winterize the backwater valve in the future. You will also be provided on-site training on the operation and maintenance of the valve. The report also identifies deficiencies in your plumbing, sewer and drainage system. These include: • A piece of the side sewer pipe is missing at 41 ft from the cleanout (problem identified #2). • The side sewer pipe from 55 ft to 72 ft has bad offsets at the joints and is holding water (problem identified #2).
