Comprehensive Sewer Inspection Services

At Seattle Select Sewers, we pride ourselves on offering detailed sewer inspections that help you pinpoint potential issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Our team uses cutting-edge technology, including high-resolution cameras, to thoroughly inspect your sewer lines and sewer systems for any signs of trouble such as cracks, blockages, or root intrusions. This high-tech approach ensures that no problem goes unnoticed.

Our inspection process starts with non-invasive video camera inspections, offering a clear view of your sewer lines without digging. Our inspectors analyze the footage, document any issues, and provide a comprehensive report with recommended actions. This approach helps you avoid future repair costs by catching problems early.

Preventative maintenance is key to our service. Early identification of blockages or damaged pipes helps you avoid costly emergency repairs and disruptions, ensuring your sewer system runs smoothly and protects your home and wallet.

Why Sewer Inspections Are Important

Regular sewer inspections are essential for early detection of issues like blockages, cracks, or tree root intrusions. Early intervention prevents significant damage and the headache of major sewer backups or other complications.

Sewer inspections also offer significant cost savings. Early detection prevents expensive emergency repairs and minimizes home disruption, acting as an investment in your home’s future and avoiding larger expenses later.

Furthermore, sewer inspections maintain health and safety by preventing leaks and hazardous backups that pose health risks. Regular checks ensure your sewer system is damage-free, protecting your home and family. They also help prevent structural damage by addressing leaks before they affect your foundation.

What We Look For in a Sewer Inspection

Our inspectors look for common issues during a sewer inspection. Tree root intrusions, which can damage lines and cause blockages, are a frequent problem that can lead to significant disruptions if not promptly addressed.

We inspect for pipe cracks or breaks indicating structural issues, as cracks can cause leaks and further damage if left un-repaired. Additionally, we focus on blockages and clogs from grease, debris, and other obstructions that hinder water and waste flow, potentially causing backups.

Corrosion is another issue we look for, particularly in older pipes. Over time, pipes can corrode, weakening the sewer line and increasing the risk of collapse. By identifying corrosion early, we can recommend the necessary repairs or replacements to keep your sewer system functioning smoothly.

Our Sewer Inspection Process

Our sewer inspection process is thorough and efficient, quickly identifying any issues. We start with an initial consultation to discuss any symptoms or concerns, such as slow drains or sewer backups.

We then use a high-definition camera to inspect the interior of your sewer line, locating potential issues without invasive digging. This provides a clear view of your sewer pipes and identifies problems accurately.

Following the camera inspection, we provide a detailed report of our findings, including video footage. The report offers a comprehensive analysis and recommended next steps.

Finally, we collaborate with you to develop an action plan based on the inspection results, recommending necessary repairs or preventative maintenance.

How Often Should You Get a Sewer Inspection?

Routine maintenance keeps your sewer system in top shape. We recommend a sewer inspection every 2-3 years to ensure proper functioning. Regular checks prevent serious issues like flooding and backups, saving you time and money.

Certain scenarios call for a sewer inspection. Always get one when buying a new home to avoid unexpected repairs. Also, if you notice slow drains, bad odors, or frequent backups, it’s time for an inspection.

How Sewer Inspections Work

Advanced video technology is used in sewer inspections to accurately assess your sewer lines. A flexible camera visualizes the interior, providing real-time visuals and detailed footage. This allows quick and efficient problem identification without invasive digging.

A sewer scope inspection determines the condition of the sewer line and identifies potential issues. By thoroughly inspecting the main drainpipe, we can spot problems like cracks, blockages, and corrosion that may not be visible from the surface. Homeowners receive a video of the inspection for permanent records, facilitating easier reference and repair planning.

Regular sewer inspections prevent costly repairs by identifying issues early. Addressing minor problems before they escalate avoids significant damage and maintains the health of your sewer system.

The Role of Video Inspection

Video inspection is vital in assessing sewer lines, allowing our inspectors to thoroughly evaluate their condition. Specialized cameras offer real-time visuals and high-resolution footage, enabling quick and accurate issue identification.

Detailed visuals help us pinpoint problems like cracks, blockages, and corrosion, giving you a clear understanding of your sewer system’s health. The footage also serves as a reference for planning repairs and maintenance, providing all the information needed for informed decisions.

What Inspectors Look For

During a sewer scope inspection, our inspectors look for issues affecting your sewer system’s health, such as grease, debris, or tree roots causing clogs. They also identify structural issues like breaks, holes, and cracks within the pipes.

Addressing minor issues early helps homeowners avoid significant future expenses. Regular sewer inspections are crucial for identifying problems that could lead to costly repairs if left unchecked.

Preparing for Your Sewer Inspection

Preparation ensures a smooth and efficient sewer inspection. Homeowners should clear the area around the drain for easy inspector access, facilitating a more efficient examination and allowing the inspector to focus on identifying potential issues.

Marking known locations of sewer lines or cleanouts on your property assists inspectors. Keeping pets and children away from inspection areas ensures a safe environment for both the inspector and your family.

Documenting any plumbing issues or unusual symptoms helps the inspector focus on potential problem areas and other problems.

Post-Inspection Steps

After the inspection, our professional inspector analyzes the recorded footage to document their findings. They prepare a comprehensive report detailing identified issues, complete with clear visuals and recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance.

Engaging with the inspector post-inspection is crucial for understanding your sewer system’s health and recommended maintenance. The technician provides a detailed analysis of the footage and discusses potential issues with you, ensuring you understand the next steps for maintaining your system.
