Greenside Plumbing—Sewer Ordinance Testing

If you are selling a home in the Truckee-Tahoe area and the sewer lines haven’t been tested within the specified time frame (typically six years), you will need to schedule a sewer line pressure test to check for leaks. It’s best to have the testing completed by October, otherwise the costs will increase if crews have to dig through snow and frozen ground to locate the sewer clean outs and the testing may be delayed if a series of storms move through the area.

Keep in mind that regulations at Lake Tahoe prohibit digging by hand or using excavating equiprment from October 15 to April 15, so it’s important that home sellers plan accordingly. While most sewer line pressure tests can be completed within one week, if a leak is detected and the sewer system fails the ordinance test, repairs and additional testing will be required. 

The staff at Greenside Plumbing have many years experience testing, repairing, and if necessary, replacing sewer lines. We can handle any sewer ordinance repair work and follow-up testing. We will do everything possible to keep your escrow on track. Call us today to complete the required sewer ordinance testing. We come highly recommended by many local realtors and are approved by the various water & sewer districts in Truckee and surrounding areas to perform these tests.
