Sewer Scope
Drain issues can be a MAJOR INCONVENIENCE! Clogs can become routine, costing hundreds of dollars on drain clearing. Pipe replacement can be many thousands of dollars and cause extensive damage to the yard through the process. Find tree roots and other common issues before you purchase to make an informed decision!
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Exceptional Quality
ROOT INTRUSION
Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints in the pipes, causing blockages and potential damage to the pipe walls.
PIPE CORROSION
Over time, sewer pipes can corrode, leading to leaks, cracks, and ultimately, structural weakness. Corrosion can be caused by various factors including age, chemical reactions, and soil conditions.
PIPE BELLIES
A pipe belly refers to a low spot or sag in the sewer line where wastewater can accumulate and cause blockages. This may occur due to improper installation, soil settling, or ground shifting.
COLLAPSED PIPES
Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints in the pipes, causing blockages and potential damage to the pipe walls.
BLOCKAGES
Blockages in sewer lines can occur due to various factors including grease buildup, foreign objects, sediment accumulation, or structural issues. These blockages can lead to sewage backups and potential damage to the pipes.
CRACKED & DAMAGED PIPES
Pipes can develop cracks or damage over time due to various factors such as ground movement, freezing and thawing cycles, or external pressure. Cracked or damaged pipes can lead to leaks, infiltration, and sewage backups.
OFFSET PIPES
Offset pipes occur when sections of the sewer line become misaligned, leading to gaps or misconnections between pipe segments. This can cause sewage to leak into the surrounding soil or create areas where debris can accumulate, leading to blockages.
BROKEN SEWER LATERAL
The sewer lateral is the pipe that connects the main sewer line to an individual property. Bellies or breaks in the sewer lateral can lead to sewage backups and drainage issues within the property.
INADEQUATE SLOPE
Proper slope or gradient is essential for effective sewage flow. Inadequate slope can lead to sluggish flow, sediment buildup, and eventually blockages within the sewer line.
INFILTRATION & EXFILTRATION
Infiltration occurs when groundwater seeps into the sewer line through cracks or joints, while exfiltration refers to sewage leaking out of the pipes. Both infiltration and exfiltration can lead to environmental contamination and structural damage to the sewer system.
