Chicagoland Plumbing Experts, Ravinia Plumbing, Heating, and Electric, Offers Sewer Line Inspection Services

Most homeowners spend very little time thinking about their sewers, but when a problem rears its ugly head, it is hard to think about anything else. With cold weather just around the corner, it’s prime time for sewer problems, but the team at Ravinia Plumbing, Heating, and Electric can ease your mind by inspecting your sewer line today.

At the end of the day, the goal is to keep your sewer lines flowing freely to prevent backups. When your sewers back up, the damage can be extensive, and the repairs can be costly. With a sewer line inspection, it’s possible to prevent almost all these problems ahead of time.

Per the experts at Ravinia Plumbing, Heating, and Electric, there are several reasons why every homeowner should have a regular sewer inspection. First and foremost, the average sewer repair can cost $5000 or more, so avoiding these issues before they occur is crucial. What’s more, homeowners with newer homes – or homes built after the year 2000 – often mistakenly believe their sewers can’t present issues because they are so new.

However, because sewers are underground, there is no way of knowing exactly what they look like without an inspection. Just because a home was built 10 years ago, that doesn’t mean problems are impossible. After all, the builders could have used faulty materials or the workmanship itself could be questionable.

Tree roots are another common issue that most homeowners fail to consider, especially for certain types of trees that may appear to be small to the eye but have far reaching roots below the ground. Tree roots can completely clog a sewer line or even cause it to break, allowing sewage to seep out into the ground, which can be especially expensive to repair.

During a sewer inspection, the team at Ravinia Plumbing, Heating, and Electric will feed a camera attached to a snake line down into an opening in your sewer. They will carefully review the entirety of your sewer – everything you are responsible for as a homeowner, which typically ends at the city’s sewer main or storm drain system – looking for cracks, clogs, and other potential problems. It is crucial to have a sewer inspection prior to buying a home, and aside from this, you should have another inspection once every few years, and more often if you have several or large trees in your yard near the sewer lines.
