Hydro Jetting in Hollywood, Los Angeles

Short answer: Hollywood is in the City of Los Angeles, so the sewer mains are LASAN’s and the private lateral from the building to the main is the owner’s. A plumber can camera and hydro jet the line. Hollywood is dense and mostly rented, so many lines serve more than one unit.

About Hollywood and what it means for the sewer line

  • Hollywood joined the City of Los Angeles in 1910. One reason given for the merger was access to the city water supply and sewer system.
  • About 92% of housing units are rented, so apartment buildings are common.
  • Density was about 22,000 people per square mile in 2000 over roughly 3.5 square miles, among the densest areas in the county.
  • Hillside areas such as Whitley Heights date from 1918. The Hollywood Hills lie to the north.
  • About 4,000 new apartments were approved in 2019, adding load to a mix of old and new lines.

Source for the figures above is the Wikipedia article on Hollywood, Los Angeles. In practice, dense multi-unit buildings often share one lateral, so one blockage can affect many units. Hillside homes can have long, steep laterals, and a mix of old and new pipe in the same block is common.

Sewer line problems that can be common in Hollywood

  • Shared laterals in apartment buildings, where one blockage affects several units.
  • Grease from restaurants and hotels in the same area as housing.
  • Long hillside laterals with sags or older joints.
  • Wipes and paper products in high-turnover rentals.
  • Roots entering older clay or cast-iron joints.

Every line is different. A camera shows what is actually in yours before anyone recommends a fix.
