Sewer Camera Inspection Banning, California

Signs You Need A Sewer Camera Inspection

Sewer camera inspections can be performed when problems arise, as well as proactively to identify potential issues.

Aging Properties - Older homes and businesses will most likely have original sewer drains installed.  Cast iron and clay are common drain materials, and will wear over time due to poor maintenance, and can be easily broken by root intrusion. If it has been some time since any inspection has been performed, it is a wise investment to view the line’s condition to prepare for any future repair needs.

Frequent Clogs - When sewer drains back up on a regular basis, it is a sure sign that something is happening inside of the drain line. Roots are a common cause of frequent sewer line clogs, as they can enter into the drain through even small seams or cracks. Once inside, they feed of the nutrients and moisture in the line causing major damage.

Large Trees - Whether you are experiencing back ups or not, if there are large trees on, or near, the property, it is a good idea to perform a sewer camera inspection annually to determine if they are getting into the drain.

New Home Purchase - Prior to new home purchases, inspecting the sewer line is always a good idea. Normal home inspections during escrow only assess visibly accessible plumbing. By having Easy Rooter Plumbing & Drain Cleaning thoroughly inspect the sewer system, we can identify any potential repair needs, saving new homeowners form making a purchase only to be surprised with hefty repair costs.

Prior to Rainy Season - Sewer camera inspections can also be used to inspect area, or landscaping, drains. Area drains can become clogged with debris, dirt, and rocks. If the lines are clogged and a heavy storm comes, it could cause property damage from overflows.
