The Sewer Sniper: Drain Inspections

We offer inspections and cleanings as well as second opinions to sewer drains as well as downspout underground drainage systems to help prevent future problems as well as diagnosing current ones. However, many homeowners don’t know much about their sewers or how to tell when they have problems. These frequently asked questions are designed to clear the air about your sewers so you’ll know what a s

ewer inspection is and why you should get a sewer inspection. The video camera records the the sewer lines, revealing any cracks, tree roots, collapsed lines, clogs and other problems inside the sewer. When should I get a sewer inspection? Many people get sewer inspections when they’re serious about buying a new home. It’s a good idea to get a sewer inspection done if your home is showing signs of a sewer backup or if your home has had sewer clogs in the past or if your lines run close to trees and you’d like to know how your sewer is doing. Why are sewer inspections important? Sewer problems are not always obvious. Just because the toilets in a house can flush and the sink drains doesn’t mean that the sewer is in good condition. Sewer inspections can reveal unknown problems in the home’s sewers before they cause big damage or become severe.
