How long will my sewer camera inspection take?

After you reach out to Mr. Rooter for a sewer camera inspection in Wausau, WI, you won’t be on the hook long. Most standard inspections only take about half to a full hour. This timeline can shift a bit depending on accessibility issues and how much piping you need inspected, but your plumber will let you know how long things will take.

How often should I get my sewer lines inspected?

Most homes do just fine with a sewer line inspection every 3 to 5 years. If you’re living in an aging home with an older plumbing system, reaching out for a professional inspection every 1-2 years is usually a good idea. Talk to your plumbing company about the best strategy for your home to ensure properly supported sewer lines.

What are some signs that I need a professional sewer camera inspection?

Keep an eye out for things like recurring backups that return quickly after cleaning, slow drainage across multiple fixtures, the smell of sewage in or around your home, odd patches of lush, green grass above your sewer lines, gurgling sounds from drains and toilets, and soggy patches of ground in your yard. Any of these issues should prompt you to reach out for some help.

What Our Sewer Camera Inspections Look For

As trees mature, they spread their root systems out looking for sources of moisture and nutrients. It’s extremely common for them to break into cracked sewer lines during their search, creating difficult blockages.
When sections of your pipe sink or take on damage, they can create low spots where wastewater and other materials can collect, creating clogs and recurring blockages in the area.
Older piping materials like cast iron and clay are notorious for collapsing sections that can create extremely severe blockages in your pipes. Our sewer camera inspections in Wausau, WI, can help identify how severe the blockage is and how big of a process the pipe repair or replacement will be.
Challenging freeze-thaw cycles, nearby excavations, shifting earth, and other issues can cause small cracks and fractures throughout your pipes. A complete sewer camera inspection can help identify these problems before they spin out into major pipe repairs down the line.

Our Sewer Camera Inspection + Hydroscrub® Drain Jetting Combo

Getting your pipes fully cleaned is never a single-step process. The best way to ensure the entire diameter of your pipes is sparkling clean is to look first and clean later. Combining a full sewer camera inspection in Wausau, WI, with our Hydroscrub® drain jetting strategy ensures we know what we’re dealing with and use the right high-powered tools to clean.

The process looks something like:

Opening with a camera inspection: We start by threading a camera into your sewer lines to give our plumbers a complete visual on the problem. We’ll identify if you’re suffering from grease buildup, a root intrusion, damaged pipes, and anything else impeding the flow of water.
Hydroscub® drain jetting: Once we understand the problem, it’s time to bring in a powerful cleaning tool. We’ll blast away all that grease, scale buildup, and sludge to thoroughly clean the entire diameter of your pipes.
Follow-up looks: After our one-two punch, we’ll fully assess your sewer lines again to ensure they’re completely clean and ready to work. Once we’re absolutely sure all buildup has been blasted out, we’ll wrap up the job and let you know how things went.
