Much of Pasadena was built out in the postwar boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Homes from that era often still have their original clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, and those pipes are now 60 years old or more. Clay joints let roots in, and cast iron scales and cracks from the inside, so root intrusion, offset joints and slow drains are the usual calls here.
Parts of Pasadena sit on hills and canyons, where laterals can be long, deep or run under slopes and retaining walls. Excavation on a slope is slow and costly, so the access and the depth of the run often drive the price more than the pipe itself.
What a featured listing costs · from $29 a month
In Pasadena, the public sewer mains are run by the City of Pasadena Department of Public Works. As a rule in Los Angeles County the property owner is responsible for the private lateral, the pipe from the house to the connection at the main, so a backup or a root intrusion in that section is a homeowner repair. Confirm where your responsibility ends with Pasadena Public Works before work starts, and ask the contractor who pulls the permit.
2 companies listed in Pasadena carry the Trenchless badge: The Sewer Company, Plumber Pasadena Sewer Cleaning.
