Many cities have requirements for inspecting a home's sewer lateral at the time of a sale. The sewer lateral is the sewer line that runs from the house to the street. In some cases the sewer lateral runs from the back of the house or is connected to neighboring homes. The purpose of the sewer lateral inspection is to assure that raw sewage is not leaking into the ground under or around your home.
The city of Berkeley has a relatively new compliance policy. The policy is well defined and extremely important to understand if own or plan to own property in Berkeley. You can find out all the information about the policy at their website: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/pw/sewers/pvtlat.html
