Why a Sewer Camera Inspection is Essential

When you suspect a problem with your sewer line, whether it's a clogged drain or a mysterious leak, a sewer camera inspection is an effective, non-invasive solution. Our advanced high-definition waterproof cameras allow us to visually inspect the interior of your pipes, identifying blockages, tree root intrusions, pipe breaks, and more, without the need for excavation.

Watch for these

Common Signs You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection

Knowing when to schedule a sewer camera inspection can save you time and money. Here are some common signs:

  • Frequent drain clogs or slow drainage
  • Unpleasant odors coming from drains
  • Unexplained wet patches in your yard
  • Gurgling noises in your plumbing system

If you experience any of these issues, it may be time to contact us for a thorough drain line inspection or a comprehensive sewer camera inspection.

What drives the problem

Causes of Sewer Line Problems

Sewer line issues can arise from a variety of sources. Common causes include:

  • Tree root intrusion
  • Corroded or deteriorating pipes
  • Grease buildup and debris
  • Misaligned pipe segments

Understanding these common causes can help in taking preventive measures and scheduling regular maintenance.

Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process

At Wade's Plumbing & Septic, we make the inspection process as straightforward as possible. Our team will insert a small, flexible camera into your sewer line, transmitting real-time video to our technicians. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of any issues, which can inform the appropriate solution, whether it’s pipe repair and replacement or another service.

Time and cost

Timeline and Cost Factors

Most sewer camera inspections are completed in under an hour, providing a quick and efficient diagnostic solution. Costs can vary depending on the complexity of the sewer line system and the extent of the issues found. However, investing in an inspection can prevent costlier repairs down the line.

Protect the system

How to Prevent Future Sewer Line Problems

Prevention is key to avoiding frequent sewer line issues. Regular maintenance, such as drain cleaning and high-pressure jetting for septic lines, can keep your system in top shape. Additionally, being mindful of what is flushed or poured down the drains can greatly reduce the risk of blockages.
