The sewer line of your home is one of the parts of the plumbing that will be the most important to properly maintain. If the sewer line is allowed to fall into disrepair, it can result in it suffering major performance problems that could hamper the performance of the rest of your plumbing. Video sewer inspections can be an important part of maintaining this component of your plumbing, but it might be necessary to have a handful of common notions concerning these services refuted.
Myth: Video Sewer Inspections Can Be Damaging To Your Property
A homeowner that is needing to have their sewer line inspected will often assume that this work will always involve causing substantial damage to the property or the plumbing system. However, a major benefit of using a video sewer inspection service is that they will be able to complete this inspection without causing significant damage to the plumbing or the landscaping. During the course of this inspection, the technician will insert a small camera into the sewer line, and this camera will be navigated along the entire length of the sewer line.
Myth: Video Sewer Line Inspections Provide Little Useful Information
Individuals may underestimate the value of the information that a sewer line inspection will be able to offer. However, the video from these cameras can be extremely high-quality, and these systems will normally have a small light attached to the end that will illuminate the interior of the sewer line. Together, these factors can allow the sewer line technician to identify a range of potential problems as well as to determine their exact location. Being armed with this information will allow you to more effectively decide on a repair strategy for the particular problem that your sewer line is suffering.
Myth: A Video Sewer Inspection Is Only Useful For Emergency Repairs
A person may be the most likely to consider hiring a sewer line inspection service when their home's plumbing is suffering from performance problems. However, it is generally a good idea to have the sewer line inspected by these services at least once every several years. These inspections can give you an idea as to whether or not it is time for the sewer line to be thoroughly cleaned by a hydro-jetting service. While a homeowner may be hesitant about disruptions when it comes to plumbing maintenance, video sewer line inspections can be among the least disruptive due to the speed at which they can be completed and the lack of excavation work that they will require.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
