Importance of Sewer Inspections

Sewer inspections allow plumbers to detect leaks, clogs, and damages inside the sewer lines without digging up your pipes. Without a thorough inspection, your home’s foundation is in danger and exposed to hazardous elements that can cause serious damages to your property. USA Pipe Repair offers sewer inspections as part of our sewer repair services in Richmond, VA. Here are some of the benefits of this service:

Sewer Inspections Detect Static Leak

When left undetected, static leaks can wreak havoc on your property. Scheduling a sewer inspection in advance will allow our technicians to determine the location and extent of the leak, so we can provide you with the best solutions.

Before performing sewer line repair, we use a video camera along with hydrostatic pressure to inspect your sewer lines. The camera will be able to test the entire section of the sewer line and identify the exact location where the leak has occurred. Inflatable test balls are passed into the sewer lines to map the layout of the sewer system.

Sewer Inspection Detects Slab Leak

Bad odor, sewer backup, and cracked pavements are all obvious signs of slab leaks. Diagnostic testing for such leaks consists of multiple tools and techniques, all of which our sewer pipe line repair experts are well-versed in. Discovering a slab leak is a challenge in itself. Proper techniques can help measure the level of damage and amount of leak that took place underneath the ground surface and in the sewer lines.

It’s therefore important to have a thorough sewer line inspection done on a regular basis in order to prevent further leaks and damages to your pipes. More important is to choose the right sewer line replacement and repair professional for the job.
