Sewer Inspection & Maintenance

Maintaining frequent sewer inspections is a great way to ensure the quality and condition of your plumbing systems. It is recommended that if your property is less than ten years old, you should schedule a sewer inspection at least once a year. If the property is ten years old or more, it is then recommended that you schedule thorough and professional sewer inspections as often as every six months to avoid potentially damaging issues in the plumbing.

While preventative scheduling of routine inspections is the best way to combat issues taking hold in plumbing systems on your property, there are some indicators that there is an issue that has gone unnoticed. If an issue is persisting under the surface, you may hear strange gurgling sounds, appliances may fail to work like the toilet or drainage systems, and leakage or seepage may form from flooding on the property or in the yard along the sewage line. In any of these scenarios, it is crucial to immediately enlist the aid of a professional to possibly repair or replace the system following a thorough sewer inspection.

Unfortunately one can not simply peer into the depths of our complex and intricate piping systems that comprise our property’s plumbing. These systems run throughout our entire poetry and under other materials and flooring among other things. Top of the line materials and state of the art technology like micro sized cameras make professional sewer inspections thorough and efficient. Attempting to survey the state or condition of a pipe or sewer system without professional sewer inspection equipment is essentially useless, and can lead to your missing a crucial leak or serious damage that worsens with time.

The only risks associated with sewer maintenance or inspections are the risks involved with attempting to carry them out without professional assistance. It is recommended that you always enlist the aid of trained and highly skilled plumbing technicians when carrying out sewer inspections and even routine maintenance. Failure to do so may expose you to potentially harmful and hazardous materials which you are not properly equipped to handle, but that our trained technicians are.

A great deal of factors heavily affect the estimation and process involved with professional sewer inspections. The depth of the system, the geography surrounding the structure, and the utility of the property all come into play when assessing the challenges and costs of performing professional sewer inspections. National averages estimate the cost of a flat rate sewer system inspection to be between 500-600 dollars, however this is of course reliant on the factors mentioned here above as well as many others. It may be less for smaller properties, and more for larger. We work hard to offer the most affordable and competitive pricing on the market when it comes to sewer inspections.

While problems or abnormalities within the pipes of our property’s plumbing system may occur without warning at any time of the year, winter is in fact a common time in which many sewer pipe problems can occur. You should always schedule regular sewer inspections, cleanings, and maintenance. However, in the winter it is perhaps more important than ever to be vigilant as to the condition of our pipes and to be diligent in the preparation of our systems for the harsher weather. Anyone with property in an extreme climate, in any season really, needs to be extra vigilant and aware when it comes to the state and condition of their sewer systems. Frequent sewer inspections in places like this can avoid huge issues.

There is a wide variety of issues which may take shape and persist within the interiors of our sewer systems. If you fail to schedule routine inspections, these issues can go unnoticed and unresolved. In this case, issues get worse and become more disastrous and costly. These issues can include severe flooding, which can damage flooring, drywall, and other materials. Persistent and unresolved leaks can cause build up of moisture and mold, as well as damage the foundation. These are the reasons that frequent sewer inspections and sewer maintenance is crucial.

Not always. In some cases, the sewer inspection may in fact reveal that the condition is not compromised and does not require repairs. However, it may still need cleaning or superficial maintenance. Other possible services beyond physical repairs may include hydro jetting to clean out the debris or build up. Thorough and preventative sewer inspections help to avoid costly damages down the line by letting us know what small cleanings or repairs may be applied and be of use now.

Foul, unwanted, or unfamiliar smells can indeed be an indicator of a larger issue within your plumbing or pipes. Strange odors like this can be a sign of something rotting or something backed up or stuck within a pipe or the sewage lines. In this case, scheduling a thorough and professional sewer inspection is the best way to root out the issue and get it fixed before the build up or blockage leads to a larger issue like flooding or a leak which can bring with them greater damages and associated costs.
