Understanding Common Sewer Line Problems

Understanding common problems can help you stay vigilant and address these concerns promptly. Some of the most frequent:

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots can penetrate sewer pipes in search of water and nutrients, causing blockages and damage to the pipes.

Pipe Corrosion

Over time, metal sewer pipes can corrode and weaken, eventually leading to leaks or collapses.

Clogs & Blockages

Grease, foreign objects, and accumulated debris can create clogs in sewer lines, obstructing the flow of wastewater.

Bellied Pipes

A sagging or “bellied” sewer pipe can create a low spot in the line, where waste and debris can accumulate, causing slow draining and blockages.

Leaking Joints

The seals between sewer pipe sections can deteriorate over time, leading to leaks and wastewater seeping into the surrounding soil.

Pipe Misalignment

Ground movement, soil erosion, or poor installation can cause sewer pipes to become misaligned, disrupting the flow and potentially causing backups.

Sewer Line Cracks

Aging or shifting sewer lines can develop cracks, allowing wastewater to seep into the surrounding soil, attracting tree roots, and causing further damage.

Infiltration of Stormwater or Groundwater

Inadequate seals or damaged pipes can lead to stormwater or groundwater entering the sewer line, causing overflows or backups.

The Process of a Sewer Line Inspection

A sewer line inspection is an essential part of diagnosing and addressing sewer-related issues on your property. The inspection allows us to assess the condition of your pipes and identify any potential problems before they escalate.

The Sewer Line Inspections Typically Involve the Following Steps & Equipment:

Accessing the sewer line: We begin by locating an access point, such as a cleanout or vent, to insert the inspection equipment.

Video camera inspection: A high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable is used for a detailed visual inspection of the interior of your sewer pipes. This camera allows us to:

- Identify clogs, blockages, and obstructions
- Detect cracks, leaks, and other pipe damage
- Locate tree root intrusion and pipe misalignments
- Assess the overall condition of your sewer line

Real-time video feed: The camera sends a real-time video feed to a monitor, enabling us to evaluate the pipe’s condition and pinpoint any issues accurately.

Recording the inspection: We record the video footage for further analysis and to provide you with a copy for your records, which can be helpful for insurance purposes or future plumbing maintenance.
