Sewer Lateral Inspection
This inspection utilizes a camera to examine the interior of your plumbing drain lines, extending from your home to the main city drain or septic system. Unseen issues in your sewer lateral could cost thousands of dollars in repairs.
Example of a sewer lateral inspection
Several things are inspected during a plumbing check, including roots in the drain lines that can cause blockages.
A sewer line belly, also known as a "sag" or "bellying" in plumbing terms, occurs when there is a low point or dip in an underground sewer or drainage pipe. This creates a U-shaped curve in the pipe, which disrupts the normal flow of wastewater and debris.
When the connections in a pipe are not properly aligned and the ends of two pipe segments, known as joints, are not properly aligned, these offsets could cause blockages or leaking pipes.
