Sewer Inspections Will Benefit Your in Several Amazing Ways

As a homeowner, you tend to overlook your sewer line until something finally goes wrong with it. But you should never wait until a problem exists before performing an inspection. If you live in a home that is over 20 years old, then an inspection will go a long way in prolonging the lifespan of your plumbing system. Older homes tend to contain aging pipes and your sewer line is also a lot more susceptible to tree root intrusion. Problems can arise at any time, but with regularly scheduled inspections, you can stay ahead of the damage.

Inspections are extremely affordable in comparison to the money you would spend on extensive repair and replacement services. Most of the time your home insurance company won’t cover these kinds of expenses because the damage is usually the result of natural wear and tear. Also, backups in your sewer line can create a huge mess. Once toxic sewage and wastewater enter your home, then it can be very costly to remove it. Inspections are a great way of detecting the issue before it gets out of hand. This is especially true for hidden leaks in your sewer line which will create standing water in your home.

Overgrown tree roots will inevitably wedge their way into your sewer line because they are looking for a reliable source of water and nutrients. The root will usually enter a tiny opening in your sewer system and then expand over time. Once this happens, the tree root will eventually create a blockage which you will need to remove. If you wait too long to do anything, then your sewer system will become damaged and then you may need to excavate your yard to repair it. If there are large trees or ample shrubbery in your yard, then routine inspections are a must.

If you keep putting off an inspection, then emergencies are bound to happen whether it’s inside the limits of your home or the city’s infrastructure. You know that something is wrong, but you’re not exactly sure how to diagnose it. You could be experiencing backups, leaks, clogs, or other structural failures. You will need to address these issues immediately or else the problem will easily get out of hand.

We utilize high-tech camera equipment to produce a visual rendering of the inside of your plumbing system. This allows us to detect and identify the problem accurately – especially if you have an older system and the pipes are a little finicky. The high-resolution picture will focus on different spots inside your sewer line to get a good look at the damages. Camera inspections provide plumbers with an extremely accurate understanding of the problems you are experiencing with your sewer system. With video camera inspections you can:

• Detect any breaks or leaks
• Document and assess the current condition of your sewer line
• Inspect the problem areas to get a better understanding of the damage
• Make notes of the conditions of your plumbing over time

Any repairs or improvements you are making to your sewer line will take time to complete. A professional plumber will need to layout a detailed repair plan before they begin work. Regularly scheduled inspections, however, afford you enough time to stay ahead of the damage. You can assess the severity of what’s wrong with your sewer line and determine the cost of repairs before undertaking the procedure.

The traditional approach to repairing your sewer line would require you to dig up entire sections of your yard. This creates a hefty environmental burden and you could potentially cause irreparable damage to your landscaping. Routine inspections allow you to avoid a lot of the hassle and challenges associated with unnecessary digging. Camera inspections are far less invasive, and you won’t have to invest in all that time and energy it takes just to dig up your yard. Digging can also be extremely costly, and it will take a toll on the city’s infrastructure.

Both old and new sewer systems are going to experience their fair share of problems. Most old homes are particularly at risk because most municipal sewer systems are modernized and more advanced. These older systems tend to erode and deteriorate much quicker, so you want to be sure that you are inspecting your sewer line as often as you can. If you are not sure what kind of sewer system is installed for your home, then you should have a plumber come out and take a look.

It’s impossible to monitor the inner-workings of your plumbing system. Camera inspections allow you to locate where the problem is taking place with absolute certainty. This way, you can repair and replace your sewer line without having to undergo extensive digging and other trial-and-error procedures. The video renderings produced during the inspection give you a clear idea of what’s going on and it also documents the current condition of your sewer line.
