Common indicators of a sewer leak include:

• Foul sewer odor - Normally, water in drain traps or vents prevents sewer odors from becoming noticeable. However, if the water evaporates in an unused sink or bathtub, the sewer smells can rise up the drain into the building. Additionally, improperly installed or damaged vent pipes can allow exterior air pressure to push sewer odors into your property.
• Lush lawn patches - A compromised sewer lateral could be discharging water and waste into your yard. The excess moisture and nutrients absorbed by the soil can result in noticeably greener and faster-growing vegetation in the affected area.
• Sewer line blockage - Obstructions in sewer lines can occur due to root intrusion, debris, grease build-up, or a pipe collapse.

Video inspections of pipelines can identify issues such as:

• Root infiltration
• Debris obstructions
• Sagging drain lines
• Leaking joints
• Cracked sewer laterals
• Disjointed lateral connections
• Degraded pipe materials

HOW DOES A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION WORK?

A sewer inspection camera offers a clear view into the hidden world of your plumbing system. Equipped with a high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable, it navigates the twists and turns of your sewer line, transmitting live video to a monitor. Powerful built-in lights illuminate the pipe's interior, revealing its condition in vivid detail.

The duration of an inspection varies based on the sewer line's length and complexity but typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour. Larger or more intricate systems may require additional time for a thorough evaluation.

The Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspection vs. Other Methods

Sewer camera inspections have become an invaluable tool in the maintenance and repair of sewage systems. Unlike traditional methods, such as manual inspections or guessing based on symptoms, sewer cameras offer a clear view deep within the pipeline without the need for digging. This advanced method not only saves time but also reduces costs and minimizes disruption to property or landscapes. Here are some distinct benefits of using sewer camera inspections compared to other methods:

• Accuracy: Sewer camera inspections provide precise identification of the issue, whether it's a blockage, root intrusion, or a cracked pipe. This allows for targeted repairs rather than troubleshooting based on assumptions.
• Efficiency: The speed at which cameras can identify issues means that the overall project time is significantly reduced. This is particularly beneficial for emergency situations where timely resolution is critical.
• Non-Invasive: Traditional methods often require excavation which can be costly and disruptive. Sewer cameras eliminate the need to dig until the exact problem area is located, preserving landscaping and structures.
• Documentation: Sewer cameras often come with the capability to record footage, providing a documented record of the pipe condition. This can be valuable for future reference or to present to stakeholders for review or decision-making.
• Cost-Effective: By accurately diagnosing the problem, there's less need for exploratory digging, reducing labor and restoration costs. Quick and precise identification of issues also means that repairs can be more effectively planned and budgeted.
• Preventative Maintenance: Regular use of sewer cameras can help identify potential issues before they become major problems, allowing homeowners or city managers to address them proactively rather than reactively.

Overall, sewer camera inspections offer a modern, efficient, and less invasive approach to pipeline maintenance, ensuring more accurate and cost-effective management of sewage systems.

WHEN TO SCHEDULE A SEWER LINE INSPECTION

Taking good care of your home means checking on things regularly to make sure they're working right. One important check-up that's often forgotten is looking at your sewer pipes.

A sewer line camera inspection is a way to see inside your pipes using a special camera. This helps find problems before they become big headaches.

Here are some key times when you should schedule a sewer line camera inspection:

• Before Purchasing a New Home: Buying a home is a significant investment. Conducting a comprehensive drain and sewer line inspection can help detect potential issues and ensure you're making a sound purchase.
• If Your Home Is Older: Older homes may have outdated or deteriorated sewer systems that require attention. An inspection can identify areas that need repair or replacement.
• Sewer Backups: If you experience sewer backups, it's essential to address them immediately due to health risks. A camera inspection can quickly locate the cause of the backup.
• Recurring Plumbing Problems: Multiple plumbing issues could indicate a single underlying problem. A sewer line camera inspection can help pinpoint the source.
• After Severe Weather: Extreme weather conditions can damage sewer lines. After such events, an inspection ensures your system is still functioning properly.
• Determining the Need for Sewer Line Replacement: Sometimes repairs aren't sufficient, and a full replacement is necessary. A camera inspection provides an accurate assessment of the condition of your sewer lines.
