Professionals utilize several methods to inspect sewer lines:
- Video Camera Inspection: A small camera is inserted into the sewer line to provide real-time visuals of the pipe’s condition, identifying blockages, cracks, or root intrusion.
- Smoke Testing: Non-toxic smoke is introduced into the sewer system to detect leaks; visible smoke escaping indicates points of concern.
- Dye Testing: A dye is flushed through the system to trace leaks and determine if wastewater is escaping into unintended areas.
These techniques allow for accurate diagnosis with minimal disruption to your property.
