Sewer Inspections
We utilize self-leveling cameras during our drain inspections to thoroughly view the entire sewer line and identify any defects. If an issue is detected, your drain technician will capture detailed images and video footage, along with precise data showing the defect's location within the pipe..
Once a defect is documented, we activate a beacon inside the camera head while it's positioned near the issue. Using a locator receiver, we then mark the exact spot on the ground above the defect. After completing the drain inspection service in Lansing or Grand Ledge, MI, we'll email you a comprehensive report that includes all recorded media and findings..
Below are examples of common defects we uncover, such as root intrusions, misaligned pipe joints, and collapsed or broken sections of pipe..
ere's one severe example: during an inspection for a new homeowner, we discovered extensive root intrusion. Fortunately, the homeowner had the inspection done before moving in otherwise, those roots could have caused a major sewage backup inside the home.:
The following are examples of a misaligned pipe joint. The misaligned joint will cause sewage to slow down and pool behind the misalignment, and likely sewage will back up in to the home. The sewage will also seep out into the spaces around the pipe, and erode the soil on the outside, compounding the misalignment and eventually requiring replacement.
In the following photo we see a broken clay pipe, as well as soil that has been infiltrating over time
Here we found a severely corroded cast iron pipe. Unfortunately, the pipe has likely started to allow sewage in to the surrounding soil through the channel that developed in the bottom of the pipe
