What to Know About Aging Sewer Lines

 Older homes in Ventura come with charm—but also with aging infrastructure. One of the most common problems? Outdated or damaged sewer laterals.

If you’re not sure when the last inspection was, it’s smart to review the common reasons homes fail sewer lateral inspections before issues erupt.

Typical causes include:

  • Tree root invasion blocking or damaging the line

  • Pipe corrosion in homes with cast iron or clay systems

  • Grease and buildup that constrict flow

  • Low spots that collect standing wastewater

  • Improper slope causing backup or pooling

Being proactive can prevent both environmental and financial damage.
