What the housing stock tells us

Parts of Escondido date to the early twentieth century, with heavy growth through the 1950s-70s and newer development on the edges. Downtown and the older neighborhoods commonly have clay sewer laterals, cast-iron drains and galvanized supply still in service.

What we get called for most in Escondido

Clay laterals with heavy root damage

Some of the most root-damaged sewer lines in the county are here. A camera inspection almost always earns its cost in Escondido because it separates a spot repair from a full replacement before you spend money.

Trenchless as an alternative to trenching

Where the existing pipe still has structural integrity, lining or bursting avoids trenching a mature yard or a driveway. Whether it is an option depends entirely on what the camera shows.

Galvanized supply at end of life

Pressure complaints in older Escondido homes are usually not a pressure problem at all. They are a diameter problem, caused by decades of internal corrosion, and the fix is a repipe.

Harder water further inland

Mineral content is tougher out here than on the coast. Water heaters scale faster, and a softener makes a more obvious difference than it does closer to the ocean.

Areas we cover here

Old Escondido, downtown, Felicita, Hidden Meadows edge, Rincon, and the East Valley Parkway corridor.

On a pre-1980 Escondido home, camera the sewer before you buy or before you spend on anything major. It is the cheapest information you can buy. Call (858) 221-4540 and we will give you an honest read on what you are dealing with.
