Sewer Back Up Issues Can Be Expensive

If you’re having problems with your home’s sewer line or plumbing system, a sewer video inspection is the best way to diagnose the problem swiftly. Even if you don’t have any obvious problems at this point, if you haven’t had an inspection in a while, it may be time to take the plunge and invest in a sewer inspection in Denver. When you work with Safe Investment Home Inspection, we can offer video sewer inspections for an exceptionally low price.  

If you’re not sure whether or not your home needs a sewer inspection, here are some telltale signs it’s time to give us a call. 

You Just Purchased a Home
Whether you are finalizing your purchase or you are starting to move into your new home, this is a critical time to make sure your sewer line is functioning properly. This is doubly true if you’re buying an older home, or if there are a lot of trees and other foliage on the property. The roots of larger trees may be drawn towards the sewer lines because of the water, and can intrude on them as a result. This can erode or collapse your sewer line. This makes a sewer video inspection critical for assessing whether or not your plumbing will work properly in your new home. 

Your Drains Are Backing Up 
If your drains have stopped working, or even if they are exceptionally slow, this almost always points to an issue with the plumbing or sewer line. After attempting the common interventions (such as a plunger), if your drains are still slow, a sewer inspection is the best way to assess where your pipes are being blocked. 

There’s a Leak Under the Foundation
If there’s a leak under the foundation of your home, it is most often due to a damaged sewer line. Because it is under your home, it’s difficult to assess the source of the leak, but a video inspection can often find the leak without having the dig up the line itself. 

Your Water Pressure Varies
If there is a leak in your sewer line, it will cause a significant drop in your water pressure. If it’s a leaky pipe, it’s relatively easy to figure out the source of the problem, but if the leak originates from the sewer line, it’s much more difficult to determine the source. If you have inconsistent water pressure, or water pressure that’s much lower than it should be, and the problem can’t be determined in your home, it may be with your sewer line. A sewer camera inspection can help assess and see if there is a leak before it becomes much more damaging. 

The invention of sewer video inspections has made it a lot easier for homeowners to assess issues with their sewer lines, preventing much bigger issues in the future. If you’ve recently purchased a home or have noticed any of the above problems, you’re overdue for a sewer inspection. With our state-of-the-art technology, we’re able to provide affordable and effective sewer video inspections promptly, helping you address your plumbing issues ASAP.

What is a Sewer Liner In Denver Colorado this can only be performed if the line goes under a garage or other areas, with the approval of the Denver lead inspector. A "CIPP liner" stands for "Cured-in-Place Pipe liner," which represents a highly efficient flexible tube introduced into an existing pipe through a specialized trenchless repair technique. In this cutting-edge approach, the liner is meticulously infused with resin that subsequently hardens, forming a new pipe within the confines of the old one. This method effectively seals any cracks and leaks without necessitating extensive excavation, making it an intelligent and resourceful choice for pipe rehabilitation. Essentially, CIPP technology facilitates the restoration of damaged pipes while sidestepping the disruptive and costly process of complete excavation. Key points regarding CIPP liners include: **Trenchless repair:** CIPP is categorized as a trenchless method, meaning that only minimal digging is required during the repair, significantly reducing the impact on the surrounding environment and infrastructure. **How it works:** In this process, a resin-saturated liner is expertly positioned within the existing pipe, where it is inflated and cured to securely bond with the pipe walls. This results in a new, smooth pipe surface that bolsters and enhances the integrity of the original pipeline. **Applications:** CIPP liners are frequently employed to repair various types of underground infrastructure, including sewer pipes, storm drains, and occasionally water supply lines, making them a flexible solution for a broad spectrum of pipe repair requirements.
