El Cerrito runs from flat neighborhoods near the bay up into the hills, with housing stock that ranges from pre-war to post-war tract. Sewer service here falls under Stege Sanitary District, which participates in the regional lateral compliance program.
Hillside lateral runs
Uphill properties have longer, steeper sewer runs with more joints and more root pressure. Grade problems also show up here, where a sagging section holds water and collects debris. A camera inspection is the only way to see that.
Post-war tract plumbing
Homes built in the 1940s and 1950s are now at the age where original drain and supply lines start failing in groups rather than one at a time.
Compliance done once, correctly
We would rather camera the line, fix what is actually wrong, and pass the test the first time than have you pay for two rounds of testing.
