Drain Camera Scoping Near You
Drain Camera Scoping has become an extremely valuable tool to our team at Al’s Plumbing. Our specially-made, waterproof cameras allow us to see inside your waste lines and other underground pipes to locate where and what the problem is. Therefore, there is no guesswork, so your problems will be resolved quickly and cost-effectively.
Nearly all of your home’s waste lines begin under your home’s slab, continuing through your lawn to connect to the city’s sewer line under the street or alley.
A common cause of damage to clay sewer pipes?
Tree roots.
Most tree roots grow 12-36 inches below the soil surface and can extend horizontally 2-3 times the diameter of the tree’s canopy. Any moisture leak from a sewer pipe will eventually attract root-intrusion from surrounding trees in their search for moisture. Roots from trees and vegetation can work into the joints between pipes and can become forceful enough to break clay pipes or corroded cast iron pipes.
Homes built before the late 1970’s have clay pipes in the lawn and cast iron pipes under the homes. From the late 1970’s to now, homes have PVC (plastic) pipes both under the home and in the lawn. PVC seldom leaks, and tree roots won’t bother a pipe if they can’t find water.
Tree roots are just one of many things which can cause the main sewer line to clog. The clog can be as simple as grease buildup, or as extensive as a pipe destroyed by tree roots.
