Sewer Pipe Inspection

Before finalizing the purchase of your home or investment property, have you considered the importance of a sewer pipe inspection, or are you assuming that your sewer lines are in good condition? Sewer backups, which can be both expensive and odorous, typically signal an issue within the sewer line connecting your residential property.

Several factors can lead to a blockage in your sewer line:

• Partial vs. Full Clog: A partial clog may result in slow drainage, becoming evident over months or during your first large gathering at home. A full clog, however, indicates a completely obstructed sewer drain.

• Bellies in the Line: Both new and aging homes can experience sewer pipe sagging or sinking, causing water and waste to accumulate or become trapped.

• Root Intrusion: Tree roots, whether from your property or a neighboring property, can gradually infiltrate the sewer line, leading to damage or blockages.

• Line Breakage: Sewer lines can be compromised by the pressure of heavy vehicles above or degrade over time due to old materials like clay or cast iron, leading to cracks that allow debris to block the flow.

Identifying issues with sewer lines can be challenging without excavation, as these pipes are buried underground.
