Locating aims to establish where a private sewer runs or where an observed defect sits in relation to the surface. It is useful before opening a yard, adding a cleanout or planning a repair. Available records and surface fittings help, but they may not describe every alteration. Greenville notes that its records do not include all private laterals and that available as-built information may have limitations.
A camera transmitter and suitable receiver may help trace an accessible line or mark a point. Depth, interference, access and pipe conditions affect the result. Confirm what marks and records are included, and arrange the applicable utility-location process before excavation. Locating a sewer is not a guarantee that every buried service has been identified; private utilities can require additional investigation.
For a Greenville-area enquiry, call (323) 916-2854 with the full address and symptoms. Confirm the requested service, assessment charge, current coverage and appointment options. Read about sewer cleanout installation or find your nearby community.
