The sewer lateral inspection at 1815 Pampas Ave reveals multiple significant defects including collapse, broken pipe, offset joints, and root intrusion, all of which violate Santa Barbara Municipal Code Section 34.324 regarding sewer lateral condition and maintenance standards. The pipe material is cast iron, 4 inches in diameter, with a total length of 55 feet, and the inspection was conducted against flow. The presence of these defects indicates the lateral is not functioning properly and is not up to municipal code requirements.
The City of Santa Barbara has determined that the sewer lateral requires replacement due to these deficiencies. Therefore, the inspection status is Needs Additional Work.
Next steps:
- Get multiple bids with plumbing contractors by forwarding the URL link on Forward Lateral.
- Select a plumbing contractor and pull permits.
- Perform the necessary sewer lateral replacement or repair.
- Schedule or submit a final inspection with the City of Santa Barbara to confirm compliance.
