Your knowledge of a building’s condition is incomplete without an examination of its sewer lines. Damaged pipes can cause structural damage and sanitary issues. Twin Peaks works with certified professionals to coordinate a sewer scope inspection during your Denver home or commercial building examination.
Sewer line problems take several forms. Aging pipes can crack and leak, especially if they are made of clay or concrete. Tree roots can also break into pipes over time. This kind of damage leads to sewage leaks around your property. The unpleasant odor often attracts rodents and other pests.
When there is a pipe blockage, it can cause serious problems inside your home. Raw sewage will build up in the pipe, and you might start to notice strange smells and foul water coming out of your drains. The pressure can contribute to pipe leaks that cause mold growth and structural damage. The sewage may also carry bacteria and parasites that pose a health risk.
A sewer scope inspection during your Twin Peaks inspection gives you a firsthand view of the problem without excavating your Denver property. This knowledge is invaluable whether you are a homeowner seeking a fix or a homebuyer looking at a potential purchase.
Sewer scopes can spot damage before it becomes a major issue. There are several reasons to have an inspection at your location.
A flexible sewer scope camera lets the technician view your sewer pipe from the inside. They thread the scope through a drain or another access pipe and record the images it sees, looking carefully for cracks, root intrusion, and other damage. You can use this information as you decide the best plan of action for repair.
