Sewer Lateral Compliance
Required by Your City. Critical for Your Home.
Sewer lateral compliance is now mandatory at point of sale in over 20 Bay Area cities. A non-compliant line can lead to delayed closings, municipal fines, or thousands in unexpected foundation and water damage.
What Is a Sewer Lateral — And Why Does It Matter?
Every home has a sewer lateral — the underground pipe that connects your home's plumbing to the city's main sewer line in the street. It runs beneath your yard, your driveway, and sometimes under the sidewalk. Out of sight and out of mind for most homeowners.
The problem is that these pipes deteriorate over time. Tree roots grow into them. Clay pipes crack. Old cast iron corrodes. And because the pipe is underground, most homeowners have no idea there's a problem until it's too late — or until a city ordinance requires an inspection before they can sell.
That's exactly where TrueLateral comes in.
TrueLateral handles the entire process — inspection, repair, and compliance certification — so your transaction closes on time and your home is protected for the next owner.
