This is one of the most important parts of modern plumbing, and yet not a lot of homeowners think about it very much. We wouldn\u2019t really expect you to, to be honest. However, never thinking about your sewer lines put you at risk of problems you may never think about either.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a part of routine plumbing maintenance that\u2019s become more popular in recent years, and that is video pipe inspection. Video pipe inspection involves the use of a video camera to inspect your pipes, and then we take the appropriate measures afterward to determine what can be done to resolve any problems we may find. Ultimately, a professional video pipe inspection could save your sewer lines, and save you a major headache. But how?<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Tree Roots and Your Sewer Line<\/h2>\n<p>This is a much more common problem than many people realize. Tree roots can grow into the sewer line. Landscaping is unpredictable and as you likely know, plants and vegetation are attracted to water. This is particularly true for water from your sewer line. Even the smallest fissure or crack in your sewer line can be a siren\u2019s call for a tree root. But how do we find out if this is a problem impacting your plumbing?<\/p>\n<p>With video camera inspection. With this method, we get a much better idea of the problem, so we can determine that is in fact what\u2019s going on, and come up with the right method for repairs, which may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using a rooter to push through the roots or pull some of it back up.<\/li>\n<li>Hydro-jetting (like power washing) to blast the remaining roots out through the sewer line to your drainage system.<\/li>\n<li>Replacing or relining the sewer line. We may also recommend removing the tree that caused the problem to begin with, or rerouting your sewer line to avoid the landscaping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The solution will depend on what exactly we find during your video pipe inspection.<\/p>\n<h2>Leaks or Corrosion in Your Sewer Line<\/h2>\n<p>Another reason to schedule video pipe inspection or ensure it\u2019s a part of your plumbing maintenance session is to check that your sewer line or another portion of your plumbing isn\u2019t leaking or corroding. Hopefully, if your plumbing is suffering from this problem you\u2019ll catch it early, but it doesn\u2019t usually come up until you notice unfortunate odors or puddles forming in your yard.<\/p>\n<p>We can utilize video cameras to discover whether your pipes have sprung a leak, or if they\u2019ve begun to corrode through. At this point, you\u2019ll need to replace the pipes, but you don\u2019t have to worry when you have our team on your side. We\u2019ll be honest about what we find and work with you to find the best solution.<\/p>\n<h3>Do You Need Video Pipe Inspection?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note, that while we\u2019re talking about video pipe inspection in the sense of a part of your plumbing maintenance, you can schedule this service at any time.
