Who is responsible for the sewer lateral in Fullerton?
In Fullerton, the private property owner is responsible for the entire sewer lateral, including the part in the public right of way. The City maintains the public sewer mains. For a lateral clog, call a plumber like Clearcrest Plumbing & Drain at (657) 337-7640. For a street sewer problem, call Fullerton Public Works at (714) 738-6897.
What are signs of a lateral problem in a Fullerton home?
Drains slowing all over the house, water in the tub after flushing, gurgling, and sewage at the cleanout are signs. If roots keep coming back and you have a City tree in front of your home, you may qualify for the City's cleanout program. One slow sink is usually a single-drain clog, and a slow kitchen drain is most often grease.
What causes Fullerton sewer clogs?
Roots from yard and City parkway trees, aging pipes in older neighborhoods, grease and wipes. Fullerton has many homes and buildings from the 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival era, so some sewer lines are close to 100 years old.
How do you clean a Fullerton sewer lateral?
We open the line at the cleanout, clear it with a cable machine or jetter to the city main, and camera-check the pipe. If City tree roots are the cause, we explain the City's program and the steps to apply.

What is Fullerton's Sewer Cleanout Lateral Program?
Fullerton offers a free Sewer Cleanout Lateral Program for root blockages caused by City trees. To qualify, the home needs a 4-inch cleanout in the front, the City must confirm the problem with video, and there can't be private trees near the lateral. Contact Fullerton Public Works at (714) 738-6897 to ask.
- Owner responsibility (City quote)"The private property owner is responsible for the entire length of the lateral, which includes that portion that may be located within the public right of way."

What equipment is used on Fullerton laterals?
Cable machines with root cutters, hydro jetters, and sewer cameras that record video. Video helps show whether roots come from a City tree.
Why add a front cleanout in Fullerton?
A 4-inch front cleanout makes cleaning faster and is one of the requirements for the City's cleanout program. It also lets a plumber reach the lateral without going through your home.
