Drain Cleaning & Sewer Service in Kendall Yards, Spokane
Built since 2010 on a remediated former railyard, Kendall Yards runs on modern PVC, not century-old clay tile. When something does go wrong, it’s rarely the pipe material itself. Camera inspection tells us what actually happened.
Spokane’s Newest Neighborhood, Built on Its Oldest Industrial Site
Kendall Yards sits on the north bank of the Spokane River, directly across from downtown, on land that spent over sixty years as an active rail yard before spending another thirty sitting vacant and contaminated. Union Pacific and Great Northern operated rail infrastructure here from the early 1900s until the lines were abandoned around 1970, leaving behind roughly 77 acres of soil contaminated with Bunker C oil and coal ash from decades of steam locomotive operations. The site sat undeveloped through multiple failed redevelopment attempts, including one company that went bankrupt in 2004, before Greenstone Corporation received approval in 2010 and construction actually began.
That means almost everything standing in Kendall Yards today is less than two decades old, making it the newest neighborhood we serve by a wide margin. The development includes a mixed-use core between Monroe and Maple Streets and a primarily residential area further west, running along the Centennial Trail with sweeping views back toward downtown across the river.
Why Kendall Yards’ Pipes Are Actually Different
This is the one neighborhood on our list where the usual story doesn’t apply. Everywhere else, we’re talking about clay tile, cast iron, or Orangeburg fiber pipe from decades ago. Kendall Yards was built new, on modern infrastructure, almost entirely on PVC. That means the typical century-old pipe failures, cracked joints, deteriorating cast iron, collapsed Orangeburg, are genuinely rare here, and it changes what we’re actually looking for when something does go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Kendall Yards really not have the old-pipe problems other Spokane neighborhoods have?
Correct, for the most part. Nearly all of Kendall Yards was built after 2010 on modern PVC infrastructure, so the clay tile and cast iron issues common in Spokane’s older neighborhoods are genuinely uncommon here.
Is Kendall Yards part of West Central, or its own neighborhood?
Geographically it sits within West Central’s boundaries, but the City of Spokane treats it as its own distinct planning area with separate design guidelines and its own development history, so it’s commonly referred to on its own.
Do you offer same-day service in Kendall Yards?
