What a Sewer Camera Inspection Can Identify
When you opt for a sewer line inspection, it can help to identify several problems. One of the most obvious is any blockages or accumulated debris inside your sewer line. This is most common when you’re dealing with several slow-draining fixtures. By locating the source of the clog, we can use methods like hydro-jetting or augering to remove it.
A sewer pipe inspection also finds cracks or collapsing sections of underground piping. Additionally, sewer scope inspections can help you determine if the best course of action is to replace an aging sewer line.
