Video Pipe Inspection | Plumber Fort Worth

Sewer clogs are aggravating to deal with, and sewer backups are a nightmare no one wants to experience. A Benjamin Franklin plumber in Fort Worth can provide your clogged sewer pipe with a video pipe inspection. The inspection uses a small, lighted, waterproof camera to view the inside of your sewer pipe without having to dig it up. 

The camera transmits high-resolution images from every angle to a monitor, allowing the plumber to determine the problem and provide a solution. In some cases, all that is required is cleaning. Hydrojetting is one of the tools a plumber offers for a fast, effective, and thorough cleaning of a clogged sewer pipe. 

Other problems a Benjamin Franklin plumber in Fort Worth may encounter in the sewer pipe include offset, cracked or collapsed pipe. Bellied pipes are an additional problem, and occur when the ground beneath a section of pipe sinks allowing the pipe to swag, where paper and other debris collect until a clog forms. 

Furthermore, tree roots in the sewer pipe are a common occurrence, growing inside the pipe until occlusion occurs, and the pipe is damaged. When issues such as these affect your sewer pipe, trenchless pipe repair may provide an option without the need for excavating your lawn.

Problems with the sewer pipe may be ongoing, and can remain hidden for years, until a drainage problem occurs. Signs of developing sewer pipe problems include:

• • Odor – The plumbing system includes drainpipes with traps, and ventilation pipes which exit the home through the roof. The two provide a dual means of preventing sewer gases and odors from entering your home.

Problems with a clogged or disconnected vent pipe are one potential cause of sewer gases entering the home. Vent pipe clogs can be the result of accumulated leaf debris, bird nests or the result of other animal activities. In addition, sewer leaks in the underground pipe can potentially result in sewer odor outdoors.

• • Sewer backup – No homeowner wants a sewer backup to occur. Yet any clogged sewer pipe can potentially result in it. Even worse, overflow of sewer effluent may occur in low-lying points of the home. The situation should never be ignored, due to the potential for illness related to the bacterial and viral contaminates present in effluent. 

The prompt attention of a Benjamin Franklin licensed plumber in Fort Worth is called for when a backup occurs. Our plumbers will correct the problem and get your sewer pipe back in operation for free flowing drainage.

• • Lush, green lawn – When your home has a septic tank, the grass over the field lines may appear slightly greener than in other areas, and is normal. However, those with sewer pipes joining the municipal sewer system, should not have lush green grass over or near sewer pipe. The presence of unusually lush, green grass near a sewer pipe is a likely indication of a sewer leak. 
• • Water pooling on the lawn–Water pooling on the lawn may indicate a leaking sewer pipe. A sewer odor may or may not be present.
