FAQs
What is a sewer line inspection and why is it important for Fayetteville homeowners?
A sewer line inspection is a non-invasive examination of the pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system. Using a high-resolution, waterproof camera, we look for cracks, clogs, root intrusions, and corrosion. In Fayetteville, where many neighborhoods have mature trees and mixed-age plumbing systems, hidden damage can develop quickly. Early detection prevents messy backups, costly emergency repairs, and even fines for sewage leaks.
How is a sewer line inspection performed?
Our technician inserts a flexible, video-equipped cable through an existing cleanout or plumbing fixture. The camera transmits real-time images to a monitor, allowing us to see the entire length of the pipe. We record the video, mark pipe depth and location with a built-in transmitter, and provide you with a detailed report plus digital footage. The whole process typically takes 45–90 minutes and requires no digging unless access points are buried or damaged.
What signs suggest I should schedule a sewer line inspection?
Schedule an inspection if you notice slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard, frequent clogs, unexplained wet spots on the lawn, or foundation settling. Home buyers in Fayetteville also request inspections during due diligence to avoid inheriting expensive sewer problems.
How often should my sewer line be inspected in Fayetteville?
For homes over 20 years old or with large trees near the sewer lateral, we recommend an inspection every 2–3 years. Newer homes can usually wait 5 years between checks unless symptoms appear. Regular inspections are especially wise after major storms or ground-shifting events, which Fayetteville occasionally experiences.
Will a sewer line inspection damage my landscaping or disrupt water service?
No. Camera inspections use existing access points and do not require trenching. Your water and sewer services remain fully operational during the procedure. If a cleanout is not accessible, we may need to excavate a small area to install one, but this is discussed and approved before any work begins.
What if the inspection reveals problems with my sewer line?
You’ll receive a written report, video footage, and repair recommendations. Many issues—such as tree-root intrusions or minor cracks—can be fixed with trenchless methods like hydro jetting, pipe lining, or pipe bursting, minimizing yard disruption. We provide upfront pricing and can coordinate any required permits with the City of Fayetteville so repairs start quickly and comply with local codes.
