A wet patch out in the yard
Long private laterals
We locate the line and put a camera down before anything gets dug. On a run of a few hundred feet, digging in the wrong place is the difference between an afternoon and two weeks.

What this job looks like
in Agoura Hills
On an Old Agoura lot the sewer lateral can run a few hundred feet, and a wet patch in the yard is often nowhere near the fault. The camera and the transmitter on its head put a mark on the surface over the break, with the depth, so a repair is one hole and not a trench across the property. In the tracts it is the ordinary question of roots versus a settled section.
Streets and pockets we work in: Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Liberty Canyon, Lake Lindero, Chesebro, Fountainwood.
02
Everything draining slowly at once
Septic-side drain work
If you are not on a sewer main, everything up to the tank is still plumbing. We can tell you which side of the tank your problem is on.

The job
How it goes
The camera goes in through a cleanout and runs the length of the line to the street. You watch it on the screen with us. It shows roots at a joint, a section that has settled and holds water, a crack, an offset where two pipes no longer meet, and the scale inside old cast iron. A transmitter on the camera head lets us mark the exact spot on the surface, and the depth, so if something has to be dug up the hole goes in the right place the first time.
Three times it is worth doing. When a main line has backed up more than once. Before you buy a house, because a sewer replacement is the biggest surprise a home inspection misses. And before a remodel adds a bathroom to a line that may not be up to it.
The repair depends on what the camera finds. One bad joint is a spot repair, a hole the size of a table. A house with no cleanout gets one, so the next clearing does not go through a toilet. A line that is failing along its length gets replaced. In Thousand Oaks the oak tree ordinance decides where a trench can go, and it is better to know that before the machine is on the lawn.
Call if
What you notice,
and what it usually is
01
The main backs up every few months
Roots or a break the cable keeps opening and the pipe keeps closing.
02
A wet or sunken patch in the lawn
A break underground. We locate it from the surface before digging.
03
Sewer smell in the yard or a bathroom
A cracked line or a dry trap. The camera settles which.
04
You are buying a house built before 1990
The line is thirty to sixty years old. Look before you close.
05
Adding a bathroom
The line has to carry it. A camera and a look at the slope answers that.

Common questions
Sewer camera & repair in Agoura Hills: things people ask
- How fast can you get to Agoura Hills?
- Usually the same day. It is seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village. Say what it is doing when you call and Danny will tell you when.
- Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
- We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodel plumbing. The inspection is part of the price.
- Do I get the video?
- Yes. You watch it with us and we send you the recording. It is useful for a buyer, a seller, an insurer or the next plumber.
- What is a cleanout, and why does my house not have one?
- A capped pipe outside, usually near the foundation, that gives direct access to the sewer line. Many houses from the sixties and seventies were built without one. Adding one is a half-day job and makes every future clearing quicker and cleaner.
- Can the line be fixed without digging up the yard?
- Sometimes a single bad section can be repaired through one small hole. A line that has failed along its length is replaced, and that means a trench. We tell you which you have from the video, and price it before anything is dug.

and this job elsewhere
- Plumber in Agoura Hills The whole town: what the houses are plumbed with, what people call about, the neighborhoods.
- Leak detection in Agoura Hills Agoura Hills is two kinds of leak. South of the freeway, in Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, it is slab houses from the seventies and eighties with copper in the concrete. North of it, in Old Agoura, it is long private water lines across acre lots, where a leak shows up as a wet patch a long way from the fault. Either way we locate first, from the surface, before anything is dug or cut.
- Slab leaks in Agoura Hills The slab leak we found under an Agoura Hills bedroom closet in November 2023 is the typical one: a pinhole in a one-inch copper line under a seventies house, marked by the locator we work with along with the post-tensioned cables, opened at one spot and replaced. Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon are the right age for it, and a second leak on the same line is when a reroute makes more sense than another hole.
- Water heaters in Agoura Hills Water heater replacements in Agoura Hills go through the City of Agoura Hills for the permit, and most of the heaters sit in a garage that gets hot in summer, which shortens a tank's life. We replace tanks with strapping and an expansion tank, take the old one away, and do tankless conversions where the gas line can be sized for it.
- Drain cleaning in Agoura Hills Some Old Agoura parcels are on septic, with no sewer main, so the first useful thing to know when everything drains slowly at once is which side of the tank the problem is on. We clear the line and camera it to the tank, and tell you plainly if the tank is the problem. In the tracts south of the freeway it is the usual grease, hair and roots at the joints.
- Repiping in Agoura Hills Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon houses are at the age where a repipe comes up: original copper in the slab that has leaked more than once.
- Repairs in Agoura Hills Agoura Hills gives us both kinds of small job. In the tracts south of the freeway it is the ordinary list: toilets, faucets, disposals, angle stops, shower valves, and the truck carries those parts, so it is usually one visit. In February 2026 we set three owner-supplied toilets here in a morning, with new wax seals and supply lines, and snaked the kids' shower on the way out. North of the freeway, in Old Agoura, it runs more to hose bibs, stable lines and tack room sinks, and the outdoor fittings that split during a cold week in January. You get the price before we start.
- Tankless in Agoura Hills Tankless conversions in Agoura Hills start at the gas meter. A tank draws about 40,000 BTU and a whole-house tankless wants 150,000 or more, so the line from the meter usually has to be upsized, and the venting changes with the unit. Most heaters here sit in a garage that gets hot in summer, which is hard on a tank. Las Virgenes supplies the water and it is hard, so the heat exchanger scales and wants a descale once a year. The isolation valves we fit keep that to about half an hour. Permit and inspection through the City of Agoura Hills.
- Gas lines in Agoura Hills Gas lines in Agoura Hills are permitted and inspected through the City of Agoura Hills, and every line is tested under pressure before the gas goes back on. If you smell gas, leave the house and call SoCalGas from outside first. The repair is ours after that. Most of the work is new runs: a built-in BBQ or an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a pool heater, a range, a dryer. Each is sized by the appliance and the length of the run, which on an Old Agoura lot can be a long way from the meter. Upsizing for a tankless is the other half.
- Pressure regulators in Agoura Hills In Agoura Hills the regulator is the part people notice last.
