Sewer Inspection & Sewer Belly Repair in Portland

A polite adieu to sewer blues

Mr. Rooter will evaluate the sewer line using a scope that documents the condition of the pipe from the home to the city’s sewer system. In more rural areas, this often occurs between the residence and septic tank. In addition to Mr. Rooter’s professional assessment and recommendations, customers receive a dated copy of the sewer video.

Ideally, the sewer scope will show a pipe that’s in great shape and flowing as it should. However, if there’s an issue, any repair costs can be negotiated prior to close. Whether the sewer line requires cleaning, repair or replacement, Mr. Rooter will provide a professional recommendation and up-front cost.

At the root of sewer problems: Northwest trees.

While Portland and the entire Pacific Northwest are known for beautiful trees, they are a major culprit in causing sewer line problems. Tree roots seek the ultimate fertilizer and break through the sections where pipes are connected, resulting in clogs and damage to the sewer line. If not inspected ahead of time, the first sign of trouble will be when the sewer backs up – not a situation any homeowner wants to deal with!

Some other common issues with sewer lines include:

• Belly in the line – Imagine a section of the sewer line that is sagging. This often is caused by soil erosion, foundation settlement, or poor installation and soil compaction.
• Deterioration – Over time, continuous exposure to water will eventually cause corrosion.
• Cracking – Wear and tear is inevitable with a sewer line. In addition to possible root intrusion, the usage over years may cause a sewer line to deteriorate.
