Lafayette is hillside property under heavy oak cover, with larger lots and longer utility runs than most of the East Bay. That makes sewer laterals the dominant issue here, and it makes camera inspection genuinely necessary rather than optional.
Oaks and sewer lines do not mix
Established oaks send roots a long way looking for water, and a joint in an old clay lateral is exactly what they are looking for. This is the most common sewer failure we see in Lafayette.
Long runs on steep lots
A lateral that travels a hundred feet downhill has more joints, more grade change, and more ways to fail than a short flat run. Guessing where the problem is gets expensive fast. A camera removes the guessing.
Landscaping is worth protecting
Trenchless replacement, where the line qualifies, keeps the established landscaping and hardscape intact.
