Is Your Orinda Sewer Lateral Compliant and Functional?
Protecting Your Orinda Property from Lateral Failure
In Orinda, where properties and landscapes are meticulously maintained, a failing sewer lateral poses a significant threat. Proactive inspection and replacement are key to preventing disaster and ensuring compliance with local EBMUD regulations.
Common Causes of Failure:
- EBMUD PSL Ordinance: A compliant sewer lateral is mandatory when selling your home, building a deck, or remodeling over a certain valuation.
- Root Systems from Mature Landscaping: Can seek out and destroy older sewer lines.
- Aging Pipe Materials: Older pipes can crack or collapse under the strain of shifting hillside soil.
- Ground Movement: Can cause pipe joints to separate, leading to leaks and soil erosion.
- Recurring Drainage Issues: Often a symptom of a structural flaw in the lateral pipe.
Our Sewer Lateral Solutions for Orinda
High-Definition Video Camera Inspection
Precision is paramount. Our service begins with a high-definition video inspection to provide an unambiguous assessment of your sewer lateral’s condition. This crucial diagnostic step identifies any and all defects and is a required component for obtaining an EBMUD PSL compliance certificate.
Trenchless Sewer Lateral Replacement (Pipe Bursting)
To preserve your beautiful landscaping, driveway, and hardscaping, we specialize in trenchless sewer replacement. This state-of-the-art method allows us to install a new, continuous, and highly durable pipe without the need for extensive, destructive trenching. It is the superior choice for protecting your Orinda property.
Traditional Open-Trench Replacement
When grade correction is needed or a pipe is severely collapsed, traditional excavation may be the only viable engineering solution. Our experienced team plans and executes this work with the highest degree of care, focusing on minimizing impact and ensuring a professional restoration of all affected areas.
Sewer Lateral Spot Repair
If our camera inspection reveals a single, localized break in an otherwise healthy pipe, a targeted spot repair can be an effective and economical solution to bring your lateral into compliance and extend its life.
