If your sewer has backed up, you might not want a crew to just start digging up the sewer line. That process is costly, messy and time-consuming. You could first opt for a sewer inspection camera from Boulder, CO, to see what and where the problem is. Here are three things that you should know about getting a sewer inspection camera in the Boulder, CO, area for your sewer line problem.
Odors
The cable with the video camera attached will snake its way through the sewer line in search of problem areas. As it moves, some amount of sewer gases will move through the sewer line as well. Those gases are very likely to get into the lowest level of the structure. This can sometimes result in a foul odor. You can open windows, run fans or turn on the central air conditioning to disperse the odor.
Time Requirement
A video camera inspection of a sewer could take as little as 15 minutes or it could take up to several hours. It depends on the length of the sewer line and the condition of the sewer. A sewer line that has a lot of obstructions will be more difficult to feed the camera cable through, resulting in a longer time requirement. If the problem is close to the end of the sewer line, it will take longer to visualize.
Understanding the Results
Once the plumbers and technicians have identified the problem in the sewer line, they will show it to you. They can explain what they think the problem is and what the best course of action is for fixing it. The team will also explain if the repair can be done at the same time or if parts need to be ordered. You will also be able to schedule repairs at a time that’s convenient for you.
