PROFESSIONAL SEWER LINE INSPECTION – $199.00
Undetected problems with your underground sewer line can lead to expensive repairs that might have been avoided with a timely sewer line inspection.
Since these pipes are hidden underground, there’s no way for you to know what their condition is without arranging for a professional sewer line inspection to take place. During this process, specialized equipment is used by experienced professionals trained in sewer line inspection to determine if and where a problem exists.
Avoid Potential Problems with a Sewer Line Inspection
One of the most valuable aspects of having a sewer line inspection is the potential to avoid problematic issues that can lead to expensive repairs. When a visual inspection isn’t sufficient enough, specialized video equipment is often used to investigate the condition of underground pipes.
Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, knowledgeable technicians identify damaged, defective, or clogged areas of your main sewer line, effectively taking out the guesswork and saving the homeowner lots of time and money. Damaged sewer lines can lead to expensive options that may involve the restoration of the sanitary system and pipes as well as the renovation of damaged walls and the foundation of the building.
Thorough, clearly-explained reports are created once the results of the sewer line inspection have been fully examined. A suggested plan of action is provided, allowing customers to make an informed decision on which type of repairs or replacements to obtain for their plumbing problems.
What Does a Sewer Line Inspection Involve?
Both commercial and residential sewer line inspections involve a thorough evaluation of existing waste-line pipes including connections and joints. A sewer line inspection is also known by the names: VPI (video pipe interior) inspection, SWL (sanitary waste line) inspection, and sewer lateral inspection. A waterproof video camera attached to a sturdy yet flexible cable is snaked through the sewer line pipes in order to get a clear picture of their condition.
Potential Sewer Line Problems
The most common problems that occur with sewer lines include:
- Cracks in the waste-line pipes
- Loose joint connections/leaking joint connections
- Collapsed pipes/sewer lines
- Root intrusion that may or may not have led to damage to the pipe along with blockage that prevents the passage of waste/waste water
- Corrosion that can lead to restricted water flow or the eventual collapse of the sewer line pipes
- Dislodged or misaligned pipes
- Clogged sewer lines
- Cracks in the sewer pipes at the foundation of a home due to age and settlement
- Defective lines
- Normal wear-and-tear or deterioration due to old age
Problems with sewer lines can lead to an inconsistent flow of waste water and solids. Eventually, this problem can lead to a fully-blocked sewer line that does not allow sewage to flow through at all. Arrange to have trained professionals conduct a sewer line inspection that provides you with a variety of repair options to consider.
