Although you would never want to climb into your sewer pipes, looking inside those pipes is the best way to see what is happening inside your septic system. Advanced digital technology now allows professional septic services to complete a more thorough inspection of your septic system with the use of small digital video cameras. Getting an inside view of your tank, pipes and drain field can help detect any issues, making it faster and easier to keep your septic system working smoothly.

While camera inspections can be used to diagnose a problem in your septic or sewer system, they can also be a useful tool for preventive maintenance. When used as part of your annual service, preventative measures can be used when potential issues are caught on camera. Some of the benefits of using a camera inspection include

  • Detect clogs. A video camera inspection can detect any tree roots that have begun to grow into your sewer pipes or any other type of clog that is forming
  • Deterioration. Sewer lines and pipes can become cracked or corroded, causing leaks.  Camera inspections can catch deterioration before it causes problems.
  • Evaluate the system. Using the camera inside the sewer lines, a true evaluation of the entire septic system can be performed, inside and out. This allows issue to be fixed preventatively, instead of waiting for a septic emergency.

Next time you are ready to schedule your annual maintenance and inspection for your septic system, make sure to ask about digital camera options. This can be a valuable tool to prevent expensive septic repairs down the road and keep your septic system in top condition.

What’s Happening Inside Your Sewer Lines?

Comments Off on What’s Happening Inside Your Sewer Lines?

There was a time when a sewer line problem meant only one thing – you would need to dig up those sewer lines to find the problem. Not only was this time consuming and expensive, it also made a big mess of your yard. Often the issue with a sewer line is something as simple as a tree root clogging a pipe. With digital video technology, you can now see what is happening inside your sewer lines without ever disturbing the ground above them.

Sewer Video Camera Inspection

If you have a backed drains in your home or you have noticed wet areas in your lawn, you know there is probably a problem in your sewer lines. The question is where and what exactly is the issue. It could b e a clog, a broken pipe or a few different problems. With digital video camera inspections, a local sewer service company can view the inside of your sewer lines and find the problem.

Often the sewer line issue is a clog. This can be from waste collecting in the pipes or the occasional tree root that will penetrate into a sewer line. The good news is that many clogs can be removed without ever digging up the pipe with the use of hydro jetting, which removes the clog with high pressure water, or a commercial metal snake. If it is a broken pipe, the sewer repair service will know exactly which pipe needs repair and can offer the best solution.

Next time your drains start to become slow or you notice a bad odor in your yard, call your local sewer company that offers video camera inspections. They can quickly find the issue and offer a fast repair option without the expense and mess of a manual inspection of your sewer pipes.

Annual Sewer Line Inspections

Comments Off on Annual Sewer Line Inspections

The age of technology is upon us, which brings a host of exciting new solutions to old problems. One of these developments is the use of cameras to visually inspect the interior of sewer lines. Due to the small size of these high-tech cameras, your sewer specialist or plumbing contractor is able to spot and diagnose potential problems within even the most diminutive pipes and sewer lines.

While camera inspections can be a very effective diagnostic tool when they’re used to find an existing problem, they’re also useful in terms of sewer line inspections.

How Often Should Sewer Lines Be Inspected?

Ideally, a home’s sewer lines should be inspected each year in order to ensure continuing functionality of the sewer system and to spot potential problems before they become expensive and severe. Annual video inspection of your sewer lines allows your sewer professional to detect cracks, line corrosion, the ingrowth of tree roots, clogs and leaks before they become a damaging, costly problem.

Investing in the Future

The yearly inspection of your sewer lines and pipes with video technology allows you to invest in your home’s future, preventing problems before they arise and present a serious risk. Through extensive inspections each year, your sewer professional or plumbing contractor may even be able to anticipate areas of potential pipe weakness or clogs.

Contact a sewer and septic professional in your area to schedule your first sewer line inspection, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your sewer lines are functionally sound.
