Why a sewer inspection ?

8 Benefits of Sewer Inspections

As a homeowner, it's essential to know if you have any issues with your home's sewer. This is especially true when you're looking to sell your home or if you've purchased a new home and want to be sure that the plumbing is in good condition and working well. The best way to get this information and be sure about what the future holds for your sewer system is by hiring a professional from All Service Drain to do a sewer inspection.

Sewer inspections can be done for various reasons but are most often used to determine the structural integrity of the sewer line. Sometimes these inspections are needed annually, and sometimes, they are only required when there is a problem with the sewer line. Homeowners also need to have their sewer lines inspected because they want to sell their home.

Finding and Fixing Small Problems

There are many benefits to having a sewer inspection, including finding and fixing minor problems before they become large ones. Some people think that if their drains are draining properly, there's no need for an inspection. However, there are many reasons why you should have your sewer system inspected by a professional as soon as possible.

Preventing Future Problems

A sewer inspection is a wise investment in your home and future. A broken sewer line can cause severe damage to your home's foundation, septic tank, and landscaping. It can also lead to expensive plumbing repairs that could have been avoided with regular maintenance.

Minimally Invasive

A sewer camera inspection is minimally invasive because it uses a video camera and doesn't require digging up your yard or damaging other parts of your home. This makes it ideal for people who want their property left intact during an inspection or didn't want any unnecessary holes in their yard.

Purchasing a New Home

If you are looking to purchase a new home or are considering selling it, it is recommended that you have a sewer inspection performed. This is a great way to ensure that the seller has taken care of any problems with their plumbing. You can negotiate the cost down or even terminate the contract if there are any issues.


Sellers may be willing to fix minor problems before closing on the sale of their property. However, if there are significant issues, they may want to keep them hidden from prospective buyers. You must get an honest assessment of what needs to be done.

Preventive Maintenance With a Lateral Inspection of the Sewer

A lateral inspection is used to check any cracks on the sewer line. It can also detect any leaks or holes in your pipes. This type of inspection can be done at least once every year to ensure that everything is working correctly and there are no issues. The earlier you detect a problem, the better it will not cost you much. You may also save yourself from experiencing expensive repairs later on down the road if you have noticed it early enough during your first inspection for preventive maintenance purposes.

Sewer Camera Inspections Save Time

A sewer camera inspection is a non-destructive method of inspecting the underground infrastructure. This technology has been used in the past with traditional video inspections and has now been improved with a drain camera. The drain camera is a small device that can be inserted into a pipe or sewer line to provide an image of the interior. The drain camera offers a better view than what is possible with traditional video inspection methods because it can see in multiple directions and has better resolution than video equipment.

Lower Labor Costs With a Sewer Camera Inspection

Using a drain camera for sewer inspections can help reduce labor costs by eliminating the need for digging when performing an inspection. Traditional video inspections require digging up pipe sections to get access to them so they can be visually inspected. Using this method, there is always the possibility that damage could occur to the pipe during excavation or that it could be accidentally damaged during digging operations. This could result in replacing more than just one section of pipe, which could add up quickly if multiple sections need replacing due to improper handling during excavation operations.
