Action Drain & Plumbing.

The state insures Action Drain under the workers'-comp class for plumbing and sewer pipe cleaning, which matches what the business advertises: hydro-jetting, video scope inspections, sewer relining, water line pulling, trenching and sewer connections. Recent Spokane County and Spokane Valley permits cover residential and commercial sewer work, plumbing and mechanical jobs. Since 2014 the business has worked public projects, mostly as a subcontractor, for Spokane Transit Authority, the City of Spokane and Lind School District. The state lists Brent Mclaws, Kendle Rasmmssen and Christopher Jordan as principals since 2022. The payroll sits in the 21-to-30 worker band. This is a sizable service operation suited to a backed-up main line at night, a sewer lateral that needs replacing without trenching the whole yard, or ongoing plumbing maintenance on a commercial property. Water heaters, leak repair, repiping, fixtures and water softeners, sold under the Action Drain Water Treatment name, round out the residential side. The company claims a satisfaction guarantee. Plumbing and sewer systems are the whole focus, so framing, electrical or general remodeling belongs with another trade. Spokane's older neighborhoods, from the South Hill to Hillyard and West Central, still have plenty of clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, and mature street trees send roots into the joints. Newer homes in the Valley and out toward Liberty Lake mostly run PVC, where trouble tends to be bellies or bad connections instead of roots. A camera inspection before buying an older house shows which material you have and whether lining or bursting is an option. Freeze-thaw cycles also stress shallow water lines, so ask how deep a replacement line will be set.
