Hello, my name is Lelani O’Malley. Welcome to my website about keeping your plumbing system in great shape. When I bought my first home, I was shocked to learn that it was built in the early 1900s. Another shocking discovery awaited as I learned that the plumbing system remained from its original build. Upon learning those facts, I dedicated my time to learning how to keep that system in great condition. I developed this website to bring that knowledge to you as well. I want to help all my readers maintain their existing plumbing system for years to come. Thank you for coming by.
The Benefits Of Having A Sewer Line Inspection Before Repairs Are Made
If your toilet is overflowing or water is not flowing down your drains, you may need sewer line and drain repairs. However, before a plumber begins to complete this task, they may ask that you allow them to complete a sewer line inspection using a plumbing camera. This inspection is not cheap, which may leave you wondering if it is really worth it. There are many benefits to having a sewer line inspection done before drains repairs and sewer line repairs are made. Here are a few of those benefits:
Allows a Plumber to See What the Problem Is
One of the biggest benefits of having a sewer line inspection done before any drain repairs or sewer line repairs are made is that it allows the plumber to see exactly what the problem is. There are a number of reasons why water may not be flowing from your drains into your sewer line. There may be a clog, your line may be collapsing, there may be tree branches in the drain or there may be something, like a toy, that shouldn't be in the drain or line. When an inspection is done, a plumber can quickly see what the problem is and the best way to treat that problem.
Helps a Plumber to See Where the Problem Is
Another benefit to having a sewer line inspection is that it can help a plumber to determine where the problem is. Your sewer is huge. There is a sewer line connected to every drain and water appliance in your home. They all meet outside of your home and then connect to the city's main sewer line, either by your sidewalk or in the street. Trying to pinpoint exactly where the issue is can be challenging. A camera allows a plumber to see exactly where the problem is, so they know where to start repairs.
Can Help You to Save Money
The last benefit to having a sewer line inspection is that it can help to save you money. Without a sewer line inspection, a plumber may have to try different drain repair and sewer line repair methods to try to free a clog. This can be time-consuming and costly. Seeing exactly what the issue is and where it is can save the plumber time, which in turn, can save you money.
If water is not draining from your water appliances or drains as it should, it may be time to call in a plumber. When a plumber is trying to determine what the problem is, they may recommend having a sewer line inspection. Knowing what the benefits are may help you decide if this is something you should authorize.
