Camera Inspection
Sewer camera inspection
that shows you the problem.
Guessing where a line failed is how a small excavation becomes a large one. We run a camera down the sewer or septic line, find the break, the blockage or the root intrusion, and tell you exactly where it is and how deep before anyone puts a shovel in the ground.
What a camera inspection finds.
Most line problems look identical from inside the house. A slow drain, a gurgle, a smell. The camera is what separates them.
Blockages
Grease, solids, wipes, or a foreign object sitting in the line. We find where it is rather than treating the whole run.
Root intrusion
Roots follow moisture into any joint that has opened up. On older clay lines this is the most common cause we see.
Breaks and offsets
Ground movement separates or crushes a section. The camera gives you the location and the depth, which is what a repair quote depends on.
Bellies
A sag where waste water sits instead of draining. It causes repeat clogs that no amount of clearing will permanently fix.
When a camera inspection sewer line check is worth it.
You are buying a property
A sewer line inspection before closing is one of the cheapest pieces of information available on a house, and one of the most expensive to skip. You get a written report for the buyer, the seller or the lender, released once the invoice is settled.
The same drain keeps backing up
A line that clogs again a few weeks after being cleared usually has something structural behind it. Clearing it again treats the symptom. The camera finds the reason.
Before an excavation
Knowing the location and depth before the ground opens is the difference between one trench and three. We do the excavation work too, so the inspection and the repair are the same phone call.
You have no idea where the line runs
On older Northern Nevada properties the records are often gone. We locate the line and the tank so the next person who works on the system is not starting from nothing.
One company for the inspection and the repair.
Plenty of companies will inspect a line and hand you a video. Marshall's runs the camera, does the excavation, sets the risers and pumps the tank, so the answer and the fix do not involve coordinating two vendors and two schedules.
