A wet spot out in the yard
We locate the line and run a camera before anyone digs. On a few hundred feet of pipe, the wrong hole turns an afternoon into two weeks.

Around here
In Agoura Hills
On an Old Agoura lot in Agoura Hills, a sewer camera inspection can cover a few hundred feet of lateral, and a wet patch in the yard is often nowhere near the fault. The transmitter on the camera head marks the break and its depth on the surface, so the repair is one hole. In the tracts it's usually roots or a settled section.
Neighborhoods: Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Liberty Canyon, Lake Lindero, Chesebro, Fountainwood.
Everything draining slowly at once
If you're on septic, everything up to the tank is plumbing. We'll tell you which side of the tank the problem's on.
The job
How it goes
The camera goes in through a cleanout and runs to the street while you watch with us. It shows roots, cracks, sags that hold water, offset joints and scale in cast iron. A transmitter in the head marks the spot and depth from the surface, so any hole goes in the right place.
Get one if the main has backed up more than once, before you buy a house, or before a remodel adds a bathroom. A bad sewer line is the biggest surprise a home inspection misses.
One bad joint is a spot repair through a hole the size of a table. A line failing along its length gets replaced. A house with no cleanout gets one. In Thousand Oaks, the oak tree ordinance decides where a trench can go.

Common questions
Sewer camera & repair in Agoura Hills: things people ask
How fast can you get to Agoura Hills?
Often the same day. It's seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village.
Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodels. We handle the inspection.
Do I get the video?
Yes. You watch it live and we send you the recording for a buyer, seller, insurer or the next plumber.
What's a cleanout, and why doesn't my house have one?
A capped pipe by the foundation that opens into the sewer line. Many sixties and seventies houses were built without one, and adding one takes half a day.
Can it be fixed without digging up the yard?
Sometimes. One bad section can be fixed through a small hole. A line that's failed along its length needs a trench.
