SAN LORENZO — Fred Ramos: Many customers ask me, what are the steps of a sewer lateral replacement? Step number one: Check your sewer lateral with the camera, inspect it, find out the defects of the line and determination of where the lateral ends and where it starts.
Step number two is open the hole at the beginning of the lateral and open the second hole at the end of the lateral. Make sure that you don’t have any sags in the line to determine whether it’s going to be trenchless or it’s going to be an open trench lateral.
Third thing is, once you install a new trenchless sewer, is to make sure that you connect your clean-outs on the back of the property and also reconnect to the city main.
After that, then you have a inspection by the city. Once you get that done and pass, you can also backfill and clean up your area. Also, the street has to be paved and restored to the normal conditions.
