COMMON SEWER PROBLEMS

Sewer camera inspections help to locate the source of drain blockages, leaks, and other damage. The camera is attached to a long hose, or snake, giving us the ability to look deep into the sewer line to pinpoint the issue. Once the problem is identified, we will discuss our plan of action for repair or replacement.

Common sewer problems include:

Tree Roots – While trees enhance any residential or commercial property, roots are damaging to pipes. They can easily enter through small cracks or seams and continue to grow inside of the line feeding off the nutrients and moisture.
Heavy Grease and Sludge – Common in commercial or heavy use drains, heavy grease and sludge buildup in drain lines can lead to overflows. As grease enters the line, it begins to build on the pipe walls closing off drain flow. Once it hardens, it can cause cracks, holes and even pipe collapses in a worst-case scenario and frequent clogs.
Broken Lines – Natural shifting of the earth, roots, and hard scale buildup can lead to broken lines. Extreme temperatures, especially Chicago winters, can also cause broken lines, as the pipes freeze and contract weakening them over time.

With our camera inspections, we can show you exactly where the damage is in real time. By pinpointing the exact location and cause of sewer issues, we can save you money and time in repairs.

WHEN A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION NECESSARY?

In most cases, we recommend sewer camera inspections when you are experiencing frequent backups, or if there is standing water in the yard above the sewer line. Following the water will give you a general idea of where the leak is coming from, but the exact area where the problem originated will need to be identified before any repair work can be carried out.
