Gardena's older sewer laterals
Pre-1980 housing here is 74%, above the California figure of 57%. That ranks 33rd highest of the 151 California cities we profile. Clay pipe lets roots in at the joints, cast iron scales and cracks, and the line from the house to the street belongs to the homeowner in most places.
Only 46% of homes are single-family detached, so many sewer problems involve a shared building line. Check with your HOA or landlord before booking work.
In California: Mountain and high-desert areas freeze hard in winter, unlike most of the coast.
Permits
