Sewer Pipe Lining in Los Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Why does sewer pipe lining look different in Los Verdes?

For many homes in Los Verdes, the attraction of a liner is simple: the old pipe stays in the ground and a new one forms inside it. In the homes and condominiums around Los Verdes Golf Course, that can save a lot of digging, provided the camera confirms the pipe is lineable.

For sewer pipe lining, the setting matters. Los Verdes lies in the western part of the city around Los Verdes Golf Course, and housing here is single-family homes and condominium communities around the golf course, on homes and condominiums set around the golf course; slope varies by street.

What that means for sewer pipe lining in Los Verdes: Older clay and cast iron laterals with cracks or root-filled joints are classic lining candidates once they are cleaned. Because a liner has no joints within the lined length, it shuts out roots that have entered at every old joint. Lining avoids disturbing common or HOA-maintained landscaping.
