Next Steps
If you are the property owner:
Share this inspection with your chosen contractors during the bidding process:Notes from the municipality:
The sewer lateral inspection at 2532 Borton Dr reveals multiple significant defects including a collapse, offset, broken pipe, and extensive root intrusion (25% to 50%) along the lateral. These conditions violate the Santa Barbara Municipal Code requirements for sewer lateral integrity and functionality, which mandate that laterals be free of structural damage and obstructions to prevent sewage leakage and backups.
Due to these defects, the inspection does not pass and the lateral requires repair to comply with municipal standards. The presence of a cleanout accessible outside the building and at the sidewalk is positive, facilitating repair 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 repairs to address collapse, offset, broken pipe, and root intrusion.
- Schedule or submit a final inspection with the City of Santa Barbara to confirm compliance.
