FAQs

How can a plumbing inspection from Star Sewer & Water District help prevent sewer root intrusion?

Our specialized plumbing inspections use camera technology to visually inspect your sewer lateral—the pipe connecting your home to the main public line. We can identify early signs of root growth, pinpoint their exact location, and assess the pipe's condition. Catching this early allows for targeted root cutting or pipe repair before a full blockage causes a sewer backup into your home, saving you from a major emergency and expense.

My home in Star is older. What should I look for regarding pipe corrosion?

In older Star homes, galvanized steel or cast iron pipes are common and prone to corrosion over time. Signs include discolored water, low water pressure, or frequent leaks. Our inspections assess the internal condition of your pipes for corrosion buildup and weakness. We can advise if spot repairs, pipe lining, or full replacement is the most cost-effective solution to prevent sudden breaks and ensure your water quality remains high.

If roots are found during an inspection, who is responsible for the repair—me or the District?

Typically, the property owner is responsible for the sewer lateral from their home to the connection point at the public main in the street. If our inspection finds roots or damage in your lateral, we'll provide a detailed report to guide your plumber. The District maintains the main sewer lines. We're here to help clarify this boundary and provide the information you need to resolve the issue efficiently with your chosen contractor.
