The drain backs up every few months
Sewer laterals & roots
We run a camera first so you can see which joint has gone. Then it's one section or the whole run, dug around whatever's growing over it.

In Thousand Oaks
In Thousand Oaks, a sewer camera inspection shows where the line has failed and whether a repair can stay out of a protected oak root zone. We run it from the cleanout while you watch. The transmitter on the head marks the fault and its depth on the surface, so the hole goes in the right place the first time.
Neighborhoods: Lang Ranch, Sunset Hills, North Ranch, the Westlake side of the boulevard, the older tracts off Erbes Road.

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 Thousand Oaks: things people ask
- How fast can you get to the east side of Thousand Oaks?
- Often the same day. It's ten minutes from the shop. Call and Dan will give you a time.
- Does the oak tree ordinance affect a sewer repair?
- It can. The city protects oaks and their root zones, so a trench can't always take the shortest route. We locate the line from the surface and plan around the trees first.
- 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.

- Pressure regulators in Thousand Oaks Pressure regulators in Thousand Oaks hold back street pressure that comes in above the 80 psi the code allows on the east side, and higher above Lang Ranch. When one fails, fill valves, angle stops and faucet cartridges go one after another. In December 2025 a shower valve here needed a new cartridge and the regulator had failed too, so we replaced both.
- Slab leaks in Thousand Oaks Most slab leaks in Thousand Oaks come from the sixties and seventies tracts off Erbes Road and along Westlake Boulevard, with the copper in the concrete. Lang Ranch houses are thirty years younger and rarely have one. Once the leak-locating specialist we bring in marks the spot, it's a spot repair or a reroute overhead.
