When was the last time you had your sewer inspected? Can you be sure that it’s working properly? Most homeowners don’t know something is wrong with their sewer until it’s leaking into their backyard. What could have been a preventable mess suddenly turned into a costly repair. Let Red Seal Drainage & Plumbing explain why having a sewer inspection is so important.

The Process of Sewer Inspections

A pipe inspection begins with a reputable company using a camera. The camera is carefully lowered into the pipe and directed along its path. Through modern technology, the camera is able to show the professionals any problems within the pipe.

In addition to possibly finding any clogs or obstructions, the pipe inspection can give the company a good idea as to the health of the sewer system. If the pipes are extremely old, they may need to be replaced.

Common Problems We Find

One of the most common problems in sewer inspections is tree root obstructions. Especially common in older homes, pipelines may be obstructed due to a tree root. At the time that the lines were laid, the trees may have been small and far away from the septic area.

However, as the years have progressed, those trees have grown and so have their roots. As a result, a root may have grown into the pipe. This could have caused the pipe damage.

One way to tell if your pipes are clogged is to have a drain inspection. The company can run a line through your plumbing right to the septic tank to see if tree roots are the problem.

Another common problem is a clog. It may be hair, toothpaste, or other items that should never have been flushed down the sewer line. These are clogs that can be removed with some care. You just may need a drain inspection first to locate the exact position of the clog.
