Issues We’ve Found During Our Sewer Scope Inspections

• Cracks: Cracks in sewer lines can be caused by a number of factors, including tree roots, soil movement, and age. Cracks can allow sewage to leak into the surrounding soil, which can contaminate groundwater and cause other problems.
• Root intrusion: Tree roots can grow into sewer lines and cause blockages. Root intrusion can also damage the pipes, making them more likely to crack or collapse.
• Corrosion: Sewer lines are made of a variety of materials, including cast iron, clay, and PVC. These materials can corrode over time, which can weaken the pipes and make them more likely to crack or collapse.
• Blockages: Blockages in sewer lines can be caused by a variety of things, including grease, hair, and other debris. Blockages can prevent sewage from flowing properly, which can lead to backups and other problems.
• Collapse: Sewer lines can collapse due to a number of factors, including age, corrosion, and root intrusion. Collapsed sewer lines can cause sewage to back up into homes and businesses, which can be a health hazard.
• Bellies; sections of the pipe that allows water is collect and sit.
