Checking Sewer Line Issues with Video Camera Inspection

Before a technician can determine what’s wrong with your sewer line, they need to inspect where the issue begins. Our team is trained to use video camera technology to inspect your lines from the inside to see where the problem is.

Using a pinhole camera attached to a lead, a video camera inspection allows us to determine where clogs, leaks, or deterioration is taking place, giving us the chance to create an action plan. Once we know the problem, we’ll advise you on whether it’s time to repair or replace your sewer line, and give you all the options available.

FAQs

  • Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Maine

    When your sewer line breaks, most companies have to dig into your lawn or landscaping to make the fix. We are Southern Maine’s experts in trenchless sewer repair, allowing us to make many fixes without destroying your yard. Heritage Home Service utilizes pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) methods to keep your sewer lines working and your home in great condition.

  • Pipe Bursting

    While pipe bursting is often a bad thing for your home, the pipe bursting repair method is an easy way to fix sewer line problems. To make repairs, our technicians use a hydraulic or pneumatic bursting head in the pipe to bust the damaged area. At the same time, we install the new pipe in place. Using this method, we can make the repair faster and with less damage, usually at a lower price than traditional replacement.

  • Traditional Sewer Line Replacement

    If pipe bursting isn’t an option, Heritage can also complete a traditional sewer line replacement for your Southern Maine Home. A traditional replacement requires plumbers to dig the pipe out of the ground, remove the damaged portions, and make repairs or install replacements.

    While a traditional sewer line replacement will force technicians to dig into your yard, it allows Heritage to complete the work in the most comprehensive way possible. We’ll not only be able to ensure the repairs and replacements are done thoroughly, but we’ll also be able to evaluate the rest of the line for any bigger issues that may arise down the line.

  • Does My Home’s Sewer Line Need to Be Replaced?

    There are several telltale signs that your sewer line may need to be repaired or replaced. If you notice any of these issues, it might be time to call Heritage for a sewer line inspection:

    • Frequent clogs
    • Mold and mildew growth
    • Pest infestation
    • Puddles in your yard
    • Random lush patches of grass
    • Indentations in your lawn
    • Sewage backups
    • Sewage smell in and around your home
    • Cracks in your home’s foundation
    • Slow moving drains

    Other issues could also cause your sewer line to become weak over time. Your home or ground settling as the result of small earthquakes can add stress to your pipes, along with natural wear from regular usage. If you are experiencing any of the above issues, call Heritage to schedule an evaluation of your sewer line, and get the best advice on what to do next. Our team has experience repairing and replacing cracked, corroded, collapsed, offset, leaking, and overgrown sewer lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the signs my sewer line needs repair?

    Warning signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, sewage backups or foul odors, unusually lush grass patches in your yard, and standing water near the sewer line path. Contact Heritage for a professional inspection if you notice these issues.

  • How does Heritage diagnose sewer line problems?

    Heritage uses video camera inspection technology to identify the exact location and nature of sewer line issues without unnecessary digging. This allows us to recommend the most effective and least invasive repair method.

    Repair addresses a specific damaged section, while replacement involves removing and replacing a larger portion or the entire line. The right approach depends on the extent of damage, pipe age, and overall condition. Heritage explains your options clearly.

  • How long does a sewer line replacement take?

    A sewer line replacement typically takes one to several days depending on the line length, depth, soil conditions, and any landscaping that needs to be addressed. Heritage provides a clear timeline and works to minimize disruption.

  • Does Heritage handle sewer line permits in Maine?

    Yes. Sewer line work in Maine may require permits depending on the scope of the project. Heritage manages any necessary permitting and ensures all work meets local code requirements.
