The Importance of Home Sewer & Drain 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 in the line. Depending on the severity of damage and whether the pipe is cracked or ruptured it may be possible to repair the pipe without digging.
