Burrowing pests can create serious problems around homes and commercial properties in Santa Barbara. While animals and underground pests may seem like a landscaping issue at first, they can also contribute to damaged sewer lines, underground pipe issues, drainage problems, and hidden leaks. At R J CARROLL & Sons Plumbing, we help property owners identify and resolve the plumbing and sewer problems associated with burrowing pest activity.
As the oldest family owned and operated plumbing company in Santa Barbara since 1931, we have seen how underground activity can affect drain systems, sewer laterals, water lines, and surrounding soil conditions. If you are noticing unusual wet spots, slow drains, sewer odors, recurring backups, or signs of pipe damage, our experienced team is ready to help.
Burrowing animals and underground pest activity can disturb the soil around your home or business. Over time, this shifting soil may impact buried plumbing lines and create conditions that lead to drainage and sewer problems. In some cases, existing weak pipes become more vulnerable when the ground around them is disrupted.
