Reasons to Inspect Your Sewer Line

If your Los Altos Hills home is more than 20 years old, you should have a sewer line inspection.  Roots can crawl into tiny openings and expand in the sewer line, latching on to other debris, such as grease. This typically causes backups. The sewer line pipes might be damaged and require repairs.

Another reason to have your sewer line inspected is to know the makeup of your system. Depending on the age of the home, it could be connected to older systems.

It’s also a good idea to hire a plumber before you purchase a home in Los Altos Hills.  Simply Green Plumbing can tell you the material used to construct the sewer line so you can determine if the material is good today. We will let you know the overall condition of your sewer line.

We use a sewer inspection video camera that allows the service technician to see any problems with the pipe. These problems might include:

• root intrusion
• cracks
• punctures
• corrosion
• misaligned pipe sections

This type of inspection is recommended if you experience repeated sewer or drain line backups, slow drains, or clogs. Additionally, realtors and prospective homeowners in Los Altos Hills often see the cost-benefit of conducting a professional video inspection of sewer pipes before purchasing a home.

Signs of Sewer Line Blockage

A sewer line blockage can be a frustrating experience. A clogged sewer drain line can impact the plumbing throughout your entire Los Altos Hills home.

In severe cases, you may wind up with raw sewage backing up out of your drains into your home. Watch out for these early warning signs of a blocked or clogged sewer line, so you can address the problem before it becomes an expensive emergency.

• Gurgling pipes: If you hear a gurgling sound in your pipes, it could mean that there is a blockage somewhere in the line.
• Debris in the water: Black debris, dirt, or branches in your water can be a sign of a sewer line blockage.
• Slow running drains: If you can’t unclog your drains, have a professional check to see if your sewer line is clogged.
• Several plumbing fixtures clogged simultaneously: If your kitchen sink, toilets, and shower are all backed up at the same time, the issue could be a blockage in the sewer line.
• Water backups in the tub or shower: When the sewer line is clogged, flushing the toilet causes water to flow back up the pipe and come out at the shower drain.
• Overflowing toilet: When the washing machine drains, it can cause the toilet to overflow which could be a sign of a blocked sewer line.
