Issues That We Find During a Sewer Inspection

It can be challenging to detect sewer line issues until they have damaged your property. The good news is that you can get ahead of them by scheduling annual inspections. As your trusted source of sewer repair services in Seattle, WA, Sewer Solutions NW is here to keep your sewer lines in check. Here are a few problems that we find during a sewer camera inspection.

Tree Roots

If there are trees surrounding your home, chances are tree roots have penetrated your sewer lines. That is especially true if you live in an older home. Tree roots expand underground in search of water and nutrients, which are present in your sewer lines. They can force their way into the cracks and gaps on the pipes, eventually forming a blockage.

Tree root intrusion is common in pipes made of clay or cast iron, but it can affect any pipe material as well. We can spot this issue during the inspection and determine if you need a sewer line replacement.

Bellied Pipes

Sagging or bellied pipes are typically caused by poor sewer layout, shifting soil, or intrusive tree roots. Depending on the severity of the slope, we may need to perform more than just sewer line repair.

Corroded Pipes

When pipes corrode, they can crack or break easily, breeding a host of issues. A sewer inspection will confirm if your pipes have rusted and identify the extent of the damage. This allows us to confirm the best sewer pipe line repair method for the situation.

Collapsed Pipes

Collapsed pipes are a serious cause for concern because they can cause sewage to back up and flood your home. Fortunately, we can identify the location of the collapsed pipes during the inspection and decide whether to repair or replace sewer line.

Sewer Solutions NW is more than glad to walk you through the inspection process and discuss every detail of our findings, helping you make an informed decision. Get in touch with us to schedule an appointment.
