A camera technician feeds a camera through an underground pipe system.

Common Problems

Low Areas are sections of the pipe where the sewer line has lost the correct slope on its path to its destination and can result in pipes clogged with standing water and debris.

Off-Set Pipes occur when connected sections of a sewer line are not lined up perfectly with one another. Older sewer lines are particularly susceptible to off-sets.

Tree Roots are a very common problem for sewer lines constructed prior to the early 1980s. Older clay pipes tend to leak water at the joints, creating an ideal source of water for trees and shrubs.

Video Camera Inspections

Bay Area Sewer Inspections specializes in determining the condition of sewer lines. Identifying potential problems quickly and early saves our customers time, money and messy yard excavation.

With the use of a high resolution color camera system, we can travel through sewer pipes to precisely determine their condition. As we push the camera through, we are viewing in "real time" the condition of the pipe through our video monitor.

Pipeline Analysis

Common problems in pipelines often include broken sections of pipes or tree root penetration. In the photo to the right, we see a tree root penetrating a pipe.

On-screen footage is captured from the point of entry, the total length of the run. Once we have the documented footage, we can then determine if there are any problems. We provide all clients with access to real footage taken during the pipeline inspection.

Pinpoint the Problem

Once the problem has been determined, we are able to locate the surface position of the problem. This precise information will help you get accurate estimates for the needed repair by directing the repair technician to the exact point of the problem.
