Why Sewer Camera Inspections Are Important For Property Maintenance and Repair Prevention
They prevent costly repairs later. Your sewer line and property could sustain major damage on both the inside and outside if an issue is not addressed. The initial camera inspection is worth every penny for peace of mind.
They provide value. Not only can you avoid large repairs at a small cost, but the minimal intrusion and efficiency of the inspection helps us to quickly diagnose the issue quickly and get to work on solving it.
Prevent sewage backups and hazards. Few things are worse than a sewage backup in terms of messiness and clean-up. In addition to the odor, your walls, floors, plumbing system, appliances, and personal belongings are at risk.
Health Issues. A sewage backup can bring about pathogenic exposure including bacteria and viruses.
Compliance. Sometimes, local regulations or building codes require camera inspections to ensure the plumbing system is healthy and safe.
Are Your Options With Root Intrusion In Your Sewer Line And Other Types of Blockages?
Mechanical and chemical treatments. Both are popular methods to deal with root intrusion. However, roots can grow back when cut with a blade, and chemicals pose possible environmental issues.
Hydro-jetting. This is a method of using high-pressure water to remove your roots. This is an option, however, hydro-jetting may not be an option with older, more fragile pipes. Additionally, hydro-jetting does not help as much with other types of blockages such as grease or minerals.
Trenchless sewer repair. If your pipe needs repaired, we can crease a seamless pipe liner to embed into the old pipeline that is anti-intrusion.
Tree removals. In some cases a tree is problematic and needs removed to prevent any further damage to your sewer lining.
