Leak detection and sewer repair in San Antonio.

Sewer line problems aren’t the same as a clogged sink or tub drain – they are harder to diagnose and have the potential to cause greater damages when overlooked. In cases where you need to find where the issue is coming from before you can fix it, you’ll need to call a professional for a sewer camera inspection.

How sewer cameras work.

Sewer cameras are the most convenient way to figure out exactly what’s going on with your main line. The process is as simple as running a small, flexible hose into your pipes. A camera on the tip of the hose transmits a live feed to a monitor so any clogs, cracks, or holes in the sewer line are visible. Once the problem is diagnosed, the best solution can be determined.

Problems that require a camera inspection.

There are two situations where a sewer camera inspection is especially useful: when buying or renovating a home and when sewer line issues are present. In cases where your plumbing is a constant problem, it’s beneficial to have an inspection done when you experience any of the following:

  • More than one drain is clogged.
  • Foul odors are coming from your drains.
  • Sewage is present in your yard or floor drains.
  • Water backing up into your shower when you flush.
