What this job looks like
in Westlake Village
Westlake Village went up from 1967 on, so the sewer laterals out to the street are around fifty years old, cast iron or early ABS depending on the year. The camera goes in at the cleanout and runs to the street, you watch it with us, and the transmitter on the head marks the fault and its depth on the surface. Plenty of houses here were built without a cleanout at all. In August 2026 we put one in on a line that had none, trenching about ten feet down with shoring and cutting in a combination fitting. The next clearing on that line takes an hour.
Streets and pockets we work in: First Neighborhood, Westlake Island, North Ranch, Three Springs, Southshore, the streets off Lindero Canyon.

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.

What you notice,
and what it usually is
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.

A sewer cleanout where there was none
A building with no cleanout on its drain line, so every clearing had gone through a fixture. Trenched about ten feet down with shoring, cut in a combination fitting and brought a new cleanout up to grade. The next clearing takes an hour.

Common questions
Sewer camera & repair in Westlake Village: things people ask
- How fast can you get here?
- Often the same day. Westlake Village is a five minute drive from the shop, so a small job can sometimes fit between two others. Say what it is doing when you call and Danny will tell you straight away when he can be there.
- Who pulls the permit?
- We do, through the City of Westlake Village, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodel plumbing. The inspection is part of the job and the paperwork stays with the house.
- 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.

- Plumber in Westlake Village The whole town: what the houses are plumbed with, what people call about, the neighborhoods.
- Leak detection in Westlake Village Westlake Village houses were built from 1967 on with the water lines in the slab, so a leak here usually shows up on the bill or as a warm patch on the floor before anyone sees water. We start at the meter, isolate hot from cold and the house from the irrigation, and narrow it to a line. Under a slab we bring in the locator we work with to mark the spot before anything is cut. Five minutes from the shop.
- Slab leaks in Westlake Village Slab leaks are the most common serious leak we see in Westlake Village, for a plain reason: 1967-era copper under a slab, hard water, and street pressure that runs high on many streets. Once the locator has marked it, the choice is a spot repair through one opening or a reroute overhead, and the condition of the rest of the line decides which. We say which we would do in your house before you decide.
- Water heaters in Westlake Village Most Westlake Village heaters live in a garage closet sized for a 40-gallon tank in 1970, which limits what fits and how it vents.
- Drain cleaning in Westlake Village The original drain lines in Westlake Village are cast iron or early ABS, and the sewer laterals out to the street are fifty years old.
- Repiping in Westlake Village A Westlake Village repipe is nearly always a house with its original copper in the slab that has started to pinhole.
- Pressure regulators in Westlake Village The water reaches Westlake Village from tanks on the hills, so on a lot of streets it arrives well above the 80 psi the code allows in a house.
- Repairs in Westlake Village Westlake Village is where the shop is, on Hillsbury Road, so the small jobs here are the ones we do most.
- Tankless in Westlake Village Most Westlake Village houses keep the water heater in a garage closet sized for a 40-gallon tank in 1970, and a tankless hangs on that wall.
- Gas lines in Westlake Village Gas work in Westlake Village comes in a few kinds. New lines out to a BBQ, a fire pit, a range or a pool heater, sized for the appliance and the length of the run. Upsizing from the meter when a tankless goes in, which is most of the conversions here. Repairs and leak tests. In April 2026 we fitted a seismic gas shutoff valve on a meter here with a stabilizer bracket, and a smart water shutoff with a pressure relief valve on the main. Every line is tested under pressure and inspected, permit through the City of Westlake Village. If you smell gas, leave and call SoCalGas first.
