The Importance of Home Sewer Line Inspections

Sewer lines can fail for many reasons, and the older the line, the greater the risk of damage from tree root intrusion, ground shift, and cracks. Because the connection from the house to the main utility connection in the street is the homeowner's responsibility and is not covered by most homeowner's insurance policies, it's important to ensure that the line is in good condition.

Video Sewer Line Inspections

To find out if the sewer line is clogged or damaged a sewer line snake with a small video camera is inserted into the line so a technician can see the inside of the pipe on a video screen and determine if there is an obstruction or damage. If the sewer line is simply clogged, high-pressure water jetting can usually clear obstructions. Depending on the severity of damage and whether the pipe is cracked or ruptured, it may be possible to repair it without digging. Trenchless sewer line repair is a permanent method of fixing broken sewer lines.
