SAN LORENZO — Does your home’s sewer lateral need to be replaced? To get an idea of what you can expect from the job, read the following summary of the steps involved.
1. In-line camera inspection 
This inspection will allow your plumbing contractor to see inside your sewer lateral, assess its condition, identify any defects, and determine where the damaged area begins and ends. This will help them ascertain whether the entire lateral needs to be replaced or only a section of it.
2. Sewer lateral replacement 
While trenchless replacement is the simplest way to replace a sewer lateral, it’s not always an option. For example, if there are any sags in the line, it’ll need to be replaced with the traditional open trench technique. Since the trenchless method uses the original line as a guide, any existing functionality problems will only persist with the new one, so a completely new line needs to be installed.
3. Reconnect the line 
After the new sewer lateral is installed, your contractor will need to reconnect it to the city main and the clean-outs.
4. Inspection and restoration 
After the job is complete, it needs to be looked at by a city inspector. Once it passes inspection, the excavated area will need to be backfilled, and the street must be repaved and restored to its original condition.
