Sewer Camera Inspection

Today’s advanced technology helped take the guess work out of locating sewer and drain problems. We use sewer cameras that have the ability to locate the exact place of the repair. If you are having a sewer blockage problem our technicians will insert a CCTV camera to your pipes and track it down to find the exact location of the problem. The camera will transmit the images and where there is a sign of blockage it can record the exact location to help us give an accurate estimate on proper repairs.

This process compared to the traditional sewer line diagnostics which is manual and can be destructive is the best method for locating sewer blockage, cracks caused by tree roots, faulty sewer line installation or any other sewer related problems.

Hydro Jetting Sewer Lines

Sewer problems are frustrating and stressful for the homeowners. Sewer cleaning or sewer line replacement must be handled by a fully licensed plumber that has the right equipment and experience to handle the repairs. Of course a lot of general contractors and handymen may claim to have the knowledge to do the repairs but when it comes to replacing your sewer you want to go with someone that can get job done right the first time. If you’ve ever dealt with a backed up sewer line, you know how rapidly it can become a significant problem. It is a stinky, unhealthy scenario and unfortunately, it is not one that you can ignore. If your house is on slab, you might not have access to the main sewer line. This is where hydro jetting will be remarkably valuable.

How to Find the Right Plumber

Ensure you choose a plumber that is licensed, bonded, and insured.

You want a professional who is aware of the complexities of sewer lines, including the various materials used to manufacture them. A few of the older sewer lines are manufactured from cast iron or clay. These need to eventually be replaced with current PVC lines. This type will last much longer and it’s much simpler to maintain and repair them.

Extra Sewer Services

There are a number of extra services that you may have need for. Depending on how long it has been since your last maintenance service, you may identify that you have more issues than you realized. It is best to remain on a regular maintenance program with your plumber in order to reduce the possibility of future problems.

Identifying Sewer Problems

Sewer problems are usually caused by lack of drainage of water. Sometimes the signs are not that apparent. Here are a few conditions that might indicate that you have a sewer problem.

Water Damage

If you have water damage to your foundation it might be caused by a leak in sewer line that is seeping water through the foundation.

Smells and Odors

If you notice strange odors in or outside your house it might be caused by a problem in your sewer line.

Slow Drainage

If your sink or tub is draining slowly after using various methods of cleaning and snakes it might be an indication of a sewer line problem.

Toilet Water Levels

If your water level in your toilet is changing drastically from low to overflow. It might be a sign of sewer problem. Our Technicians are standing by to answer your emergency or your questions 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

FAQ: Sewer Cleaning & Repair

What is the difference between Hydro Jetting and Snaking?

Snaking (or Augering) involves pushing a spinning cable through the pipe to punch a hole through a clog. Hydro Jetting uses high-pressure water to clean and scour the entire circumference of the pipe, removing all built-up residue and preventing immediate recurrence. Hydro Jetting is the superior, long-term cleaning solution.

How do I know if I need cleaning or a full repair?

If the issues are recurring and caused by heavy buildup or roots, you need a professional cleaning (Hydro Jetting). If the video inspection reveals the pipe is cracked, disconnected, or collapsed, you will need a full repair or replacement (like Trenchless).

Is Trenchless Sewer Repair better than traditional digging?

Yes, in almost all cases. Trenchless repair saves time, costs significantly less in landscape/hardscape restoration, and is far less disruptive to your life and property. It provides a highly durable, long-lasting repair using modern materials.

Does Blue Planet Plumbing offer warranties on sewer work?

Yes, we stand by the quality of our work. Our major sewer line repairs and replacements come with a competitive warranty. Ask your technician for specific details during your service consultation.
