What We Do
Did you know up to 90 percent of the homes in San Francisco still have original sewer lines that were built in the 1800s or 1900s? Many of these older pipes need to be inspected, maintained, and repaired due to their age and condition. This is what we do at Bay Area Sewer Inspections.
With sewer lines, it is not always easy to know for sure what exactly is going on or the specific part of the sewer system that is affected, which is why we perform in-depth video inspections. We use specially designed cameras and cables to look inside sewer lines without the need for exploratory excavation. If an issue is detected, we'll recommend an appropriate solution.
Watch an actual video of sewer inspection
Note the issues revealed: Partially collapsed/displaced sewer line and invading roots (several locations). Grease build-up is present, but not problematic.
What do video inspections suggest to the owner? Replacing one section of a collapsed pipe is a more urgent repair; de-rooting the sewer line on a regular basis is recommended. This would be a short-term, lower-budget approach. Potentially the combination of cracked pipe replacement and annual rooting of the line may suffice. Ultimately, replacing the entire line will be necessary and maybe the cheapest long-term solution. The sonar-detection unit will identify the exact location of the section in need of replacement which minimizes digging, disruption, and length of time to repair.
Without this video inspection, owners and repairmen do not understand the problem. Rooting now could actually worsen the problem by loosening the cracked pipe.
Our main specializations include:
Sewer video inspections
We offer extensive assessments of sewer and drain lines for preventative or diagnostic purposes
Hydro-flushing
We recommend this service as an alternative to traditional drain snaking, as this affords you an environmentally friendly solution using highly pressurized water.
Root-cutting
When tree root invasion is close to doing a number on your sewer system, we make sure to blast roots away.
Sewer/drain line repair and/or replacement
When maintenance solutions no longer suffice, we can provide the best service to restore your drain or sewer’s functionality.
