Blockage in Your Water or Sewer Lines

We can perform an inspection to uncover the source of your blocked lines. Sewer and water lines become blocked when objects such as tree roots breakthrough your pipes. This causes leaking which can increase your water bill. it also causes hygiene problems when sewage leaks from your waist pipes into the ground or inside your home. We can find the source of the problem quickly and repair it to keep your family safe.

Typically, a water or sewer line inspection involves a video camera that records what’s inside your pipes. This investigation reveals broken and cracked pipe and the location of tough clogs.

When You Should Schedule a Sewer Inspection

Schedule a sewer inspection when you need to understand the plumbing situation at a new home or a home you plan to make an offer on. This could indicate whether frequent clogs are likely on the property.

Why are Inspections Important?

The causes of drain clogs and plumbing issues sometimes take a while to diagnose. With an inspection, we can get video footage of the problem area and cut back on the cost of labor by fixing it right away.

Are Water and Sewer Line Inspections Expensive?

The cost of an inspection varies depending on the age and complexity of your plumbing system. For example, a single-family home has a much more straightforward plumbing system than a multi-family dwelling. If portions of the plumbing need to be replaced, you might need a much more extensive video inspection to cover all the impacted areas.

Can bluefrog Plumbers Troubleshoot without an Inspection?

Our talented plumbers can typically find the source of the problem without a video inspection. For simple issues such as a clogged drain or easily identifiable leaks, you may not need an inspection. However, it’s in your best interest to consider one if it takes the plumbers a long time to isolate trouble in your water or sewer lines using traditional methods.

What Does it Mean When You Smell Sewer Gas Inside Your Home?

Smelling gas from the sewer inside your home indicates a major issue. Open the windows for maximum ventilation while you wait for our plumbers. Call us right away to safeguard your family’s health and wellness. Indoor air quality has a big impact on respiratory and other vital systems. A sewer and water line inspection can identify the causes of gas buildup. In the meantime, consider alternative sleeping arrangements until you can get the problem corrected.

Reasons for sewer gas in your home may include the following:

Vent leak
Dried up P-Trap
Broken toilet ring (plastic, rubber or wax)

Many toilets have a wax ring that seals the waste pipe and prevents sewer gas from leaking into your home through the toilet. If the wax seal is broken, it needs to be replaced. You might want to consider upgrading to a more durable plastic or rubber seal. If the wax seal remains intact, we suggest a sewer and water line inspection to find the source of the sewer gas leaking into your home.
