Johnston, Iowa
Hydro Jetting in Johnston Station, Johnston IA
The west area of what is now Johnston was first settled in 1846, when Ezekiel Hunt built a sawmill near NW 58th Street and NW Beaver Drive. The community went by several names before settling on Johnston Station, after a station agent on the Interurban Railroad, an electric line that opened in 1907. The city of Johnston incorporated in 1969 without this area and annexed it in April 1970.
What does the Johnston Station history mean for a drain?
Johnston Station grew up around a railroad stop and a sawmill, long before the city existed. Houses here have had more owners and more changes than a plat built in one stretch. A line that old may have been patched or rerouted, and the current owner may not have records.

What should an owner ask first?
Ask where the cleanout is, what the pipe is made of and whether an inspection shows a defect. In the older area, the first question is usually the condition of the line, not only the blockage.
