Sewer Camera Inspection Services

Sometimes, the source of a plumbing issue is deeper, within the sewer line. That’s why sewer camera inspections are important. They allow plumbers to determine what’s causing a problem, and what they need to do to fix it. If you ever need this kind of sewer inspection in Aurora and Naperville, get in touch with Perfect Home Services.

We’ll help you fix whatever’s causing your plumbing woes.

What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection uses high-tech imaging to inspect your sewer line. The camera is attached to a cable, which your plumber feeds down the drains or pipes to see your home's sewer system. The footage collected from the camera helps your plumber see the issue so they can identify it and develop a solution.

Sewer line inspections rely on cameras because they are the only way to see within the sewer system without taking everything apart and digging up your landscape. Camera inspections can reveal all types of sewer line issues, such as:

• Broken pipes
• Clogs and blocks
• Root intrusion

Why You May Need a Sewer Line Inspection

Understanding when it’s time to take a closer look at the sewer line requires knowing what types of warning signs to look out for.

Again, because the types of issues that require the use of a sewer camera often resemble other plumbing issues, you may not realize the sewer is actually the source of the problem.

By familiarizing yourself with these early warning signs, you’re more likely to address the issue before it causes even more damage. Specifically, you should contact professionals if you notice any of the following:

Wet Spots & Sewage

Find out where the main sewer line to your property is. Periodically check it for wet spots, or signs of sewage.

This is especially important if there are any trees near the sewer line. Their roots can eventually grow into the sewer, cracking it. When this happens, water and sewage can leak out, forming wet spots on your property.

Inconsistent Water Pressure

Inconsistent water pressure could be a sign of a blocked or leaking pipe. However, if plumbers are unable to find the cause of the problem within your home’s plumbing pipes, it’s time for a sewer line inspection.

They’ll insert a snake camera into your system, looking for signs of leaks or blockages outside the home’s main plumbing network.

Odors

Again, when the sewer line is cracked or otherwise damaged, sewage can leak out. This doesn’t just create wet spots on the lawn; it can also result in unpleasant odors.

Be sure to contact a plumber right away if you notice any sewage odors, especially if they seem to be located around the area of the property where your sewer line runs.

Thriving Patches of Grass

Sometimes, the warning signs of a problem are actually pleasantly surprising.

When sewage and water leak into the soil, it can allow grass to thrive much more than it normally would. If you can’t seem to explain why certain patches of grass around your sewer line are growing more rapidly than others, it’s time to schedule a plumbing inspection.
