I.D. problems before you dig with sewer line video

One of the most common and most troubling plumbing problems homeowners face is blockage in the sewer line. Until fairly recently, there was no sure way of determining the cause of the problem short of expensive and destructive excavation of the pipes.

These days, however, plumbers have more sophisticated tools at their disposal. Using a tiny, fiber optic video camera snaked through the line, it is now possible to conduct a complete visual line inspection to evaluate the condition of the pipes and seek out the location of any blockage. The inspection can even be recorded so you and your plumber can review the problem together and determine the best approach to your sewer line repair.

Possible causes of sewer line backups include pipes infested with tree roots, pipes that have settled, been crushed, punctured or broken, or even disjointed pipes. Other times,construction debris or improper installation is to blame. If it turns out you simply need a rooter job for a quick sewer cleaning, you might even want to conduct another inspection after the repair to make sure there are no other problems that need to be addressed further down the line.
