Plumbing Inspection

When dealing with underground pipes and lines buried behind walls, it is essential that you have a reliable means of detecting broken pipes, clogs, and other types of damage. When you reach out for our clogged drain services, we’ll use our video inspection camera to examine your household drain lines’ interior. This allows our qualified plumber to evaluate your piping’s health and locate the blockage that causes your drain issue. However, your drain lines may not always be an underlying issue, which means we’ll have to look deeper into your sewer pipe.

In this case, the camera will be lowered down the sewer trap, otherwise known as cleanout, situated outside your home. It connects to your home’s sewer lateral and allows our plumbing technician to conduct a sewer camera inspection. While locating the clog, we’ll examine its health condition and measure its level of efficiency. The sewer line clog may be caused by years of buildup that includes sludge, mineral deposits, debris, and other foreign objects. Alternatively, tree root intrusion is the other culprit.

Additional plumbing tools are needed to locate plumbing leaks, as the camera alone won’t do. Leak detection tools include acoustic listening and thermographic imaging devices.

Charleston Sewer Replacement Vs. Sewer Repair

This is where things get slightly more complicated. Assuming you only experience minor sewer line damage. In that case, it can easily be fixed with trenchless sewer line repairs that include the popular trenchless repair method, “pipe lining.” This method involves installing an inflatable replacement tube soaked in epoxy resin. That tube is then inflated to cure in place and restore the pipe’s original functions.

However, if the damage is more severe, such as multiple cracks in different sections, we could try the other trenchless option, that is, “pipe bursting.” This method is more aligned with sewer replacement. Charleston plumbers are only able to complete pipe bursting if the current pipe is still intact. This more comprehensive technique involves using hydraulic power. First, two access holes are drilled, allowing the machinery to enter the system and blast the damaged section into small pieces. With a rod, the broken pieces will be pulled out through one hole, while a brand-new replacement pipe will be pulled through the other access hole. This is considered a trenchless sewer replacement in Charleston, SC.

Our plumbers are also well-versed in the traditional method of excavation if the existing sewer pipe has collapsed and is beyond repair. Luckily, you won’t know the best course of action until one of our certified plumbers has completed the necessary inspection first.
