Sewer Camera Inspection A Professional Plumbers new way to see the problem
If you have ever experienced a slow drain in your sinks or tubs it very well possibly could be a result of a blocked sewer line. Of course we have all dropped something down the sink, or dreveloped a clogged drain due to excessive hair loss but these are typically issues that can be solved on the surface.

In some cases when all else has failed, you have a larger problem. At one time we had a client that had a tree growing in the yard. As the tree grew larger their drain issues seemed to increase. Their tubs and sinks drained slower and slower as the years went on. The homeowners never put 2 and 2 together they enjoyed the beautiful tree but couldn't figure out why the drains were slowing. At last they had to call in a professional plumber. In this case we decided to suggest a full camera viewing to see exactly what was causing the slow drainage issues. Our preferred tool for this job is a sewer camera. This is a long tubular shaped device that can travel as far into a homes piping as needed. In most cases a full sewer inspection to the street is necessary.
What we found was nothing short of amazing. It seems that as their prized tree was growing in the yard the root system was penetrating the sewer piping walls,. The roots of this tree were so strong they broke thru the old sewer pipe and had almost completely blocked the water flow. Without a tool like this we would have suggested digging up the yard and troubleshooting it that way. With this new technology we can see on a screen a well lit view from inside a drainage system saving a potential client hundreds if not thousands of dollars in the process.
