The camera transmits real-time images to a monitor, allowing your plumber to inspect the inside of your sewer line remotely. This helps to identify potential issues like clogs, leaks, and tree roots without the need for invasive excavation. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Colorado Springs utilizes sewer line inspection cameras to pinpoint problems quickly and efficiently, ensuring that we can provide the best possible solution for your sewer line problems.

When roots infiltrate your sewer lines, they can cause multiple types of damage by creating blockages, causing cracks, and collapses, and sewage leakage. Learn more about what can happen in this instance:

Create Blockages

As roots grow inside the sewer line, they can trap debris and create blockages, leading to sewer backups.

Cause Cracks & Collapses

As roots expand, they can induce cracks in the pipe material or even cause the pipe to collapse entirely.

Sewage Leakage

Leaks due to root infiltration can lead to sewage contamination in your yard, creating health hazards, unpleasant odors, and even damage to your property.

To better understand which course of action your sewer line requires, we want to help you learn about sewer line repair and replacement strategies. Consider the following factors:

Age of the Sewer Line

As sewer lines age, they become more susceptible to damage and require more frequent repairs. If your sewer line is more than 50 years old, replacement may be the most cost-effective solution in the long run.

Extent of Damage

If you're facing localized damage, such as a small crack or minor intrusion, repairing the damaged section may suffice. For more extensive damage, it's often best to replace the line entirely.

Material of the Sewer Line

Some materials, like clay and Orangeburg, have shorter lifespans and are more susceptible to damage. If your sewer line is made of these materials, a complete replacement might be the better option.

Frequency of Repairs

If you find yourself consistently dealing with sewer line repairs, it's probably time to consider a total replacement. We can help you determine whether residential sewer line repair is the right choice, or we can replace residential sewer lines at your property.
