Whether you’re purchasing a new home or you sense issues with your current sewer system, getting a sewer inspection from a plumbing contractor is essential. This service catches problems early to save you from costly repairs and inconvenient disruptions. Below, Buck's Plumbing & Sewer Service, located in Cookeville, TN, offers information about getting a sewer inspection and its benefits.

During a sewer inspection, your plumber uses a cable with a camera on the end to identify problems in your sewer lines. These potential issues include tree root infestations, clogs, disconnected pipes, corrosion, or even collapsed pipes. This camera is fully equipped with an adjustable light and a beacon signal, which help locate the precise location of the problem spot. These cables run about 200 feet, more than long enough for the average property.

If no problems are found, the sewer inspection should not last more than an hour, after which you can be confident your plumbing is in prime condition. However, if there are issues within the system, you may need to get sewer and drain cleaning or more drastic repairs, such as a new sewer line installation.

Whatever the problem, with a sewage inspection, you can repair it on your time and contain the damage. It’s more time- and cost-effective to schedule inspections than call emergency services to address a burst and messy sewage line in or near your home.
