Fremont Sewer Lateral FAQs
Do I need a permit for sewer lateral work in Fremont?
Yes. Union Sanitary District permits most lateral repairs and replacements in Fremont. Work near the building or within the public right-of-way may also involve the City of Fremont. We handle all submittals.
How long does a sewer lateral replacement take?
Most trenchless replacements are completed in one to two days after permits are issued. Open-cut work can take longer depending on depth and restoration needs.
What are signs my sewer lateral is failing?
Frequent backups, slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, and unusually lush patches in your yard. A camera inspection confirms the cause.
Is trenchless right for my property?
If your lateral allows for entry and exit pits and the host pipe is suitable, trenchless (pipe bursting or CIPP) is a great, less-disruptive option.
Can you provide inspection videos and reports for a home sale?
Absolutely. We deliver same-day video links and a written summary to help you move forward with confidence.
Do you work with both homeowners and realtors?
Yes. We frequently coordinate inspections, repairs, and documentation for buyers, sellers, and agents.
