Sewer Repair in Calabasas, CA

In many cases, homeowners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the sewer line extending from their property to the connection point with the municipal sewer system. This portion of the sewer line, known as the private sewer lateral, is typically located within the property boundary and is the homeowner's responsibility to maintain.

Do Your Part: Caring for the Sewer Line

The average sewer line installation can last 50, 60, and even 100 years. Granted, this life expectancy depends on the quality of installation, care, and maintenance. First and foremost, make sure to leave any sewer line installation in Calabasas to trained and qualified plumbers. Then, take care of your sewer line by:

• Keeping out non-biodegradable items from the drains.
• NOT pouring fats, oils, and greases into your sinks or drains.
• NOT using harsh chemical cleaners.
• Scheduling biennial sewer line cleaning.
• Planting trees a safe distance away from the sewer line installation.
• NOT parking or driving over the sewer line.
• NOT installing structures or pouring concrete over the sewer line.
• Scheduling periodic inspections.

Even pristine care and maintenance cannot eliminate the risk of damage. Mother Nature and Father Time will take their tolls, and you should stay alert for signs of trouble.

When to Call for Sewer Repair

Annual or biennial plumbing inspections are essential in understanding the condition of your sewer line. If the plumber discovers any issues, then make sure to address them before things spiral out of control. In between inspections, keep your eyes peeled for the following signs of trouble:

• Slow drainage or backups in multiple sinks, drains, and toilets.
• Foul odors rising from the drain holes.
• Patches of unusually green and lush grass.
• Soggy ground or rancid puddles in the yard.
• Pest and rodent infestations on the property.
• Cracked concrete driveway or foundation.
