Sewer Inspection
Professional sewer inspection services for homes and businesses throughout the Portland metro area.
Many sewer line problems develop out of sight and can go unnoticed until they become expensive repairs. A professional sewer inspection allows us to evaluate the condition of the line from the inside, helping identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, offsets, bellies, and other potential concerns. Whether you're experiencing recurring drain issues or want a better understanding of your sewer system's condition, a sewer inspection can provide valuable insight. The more you know about what's happening underground, the better prepared you'll be to make informed decisions regarding buying, selling, and maintaining property.
What can a sewer inspection reveal?
Because sewer lines are buried underground, problems often develop long before there are obvious warning signs inside the home. A sewer inspection allows us to identify issues such as root intrusion, pipe damage, heavy buildup, separated joints, offsets, bellies, and other conditions that may affect the performance of the line before they have excessive repercussions. Rather than relying on symptoms alone, an inspection provides a clear look at the condition of the sewer system and helps uncover problems before they become larger repairs. Oftentimes a little information today can help prevent a much bigger headache tomorrow. Whether you're buying, selling, or re-evaluating, a sewer inspection can provide information that will save you both money and trouble later down the road.

Sewer Inspection Process
1
Step
Inspection to Locate Blockage
Every inspection begins by accessing the sewer line and evaluating the concerns that led to the inspection. You know your home best, so we discuss any symptoms you've experienced and determine the most appropriate entry point for the camera equipment. Taking a few minutes to understand the situation helps ensure a thorough and meaningful inspection. Good communication from the start and the proper toolkit helps us gather the information needed to provide the most accurate assessment possible - and provide potential solutions.

Step
Mechanical Drain Cleaning & Snaking
Using specialized sewer camera equipment, we inspect the interior of the line in real time to evaluate overall condition. This allows us to identify blockages, root intrusion, buildup, damaged sections, and other conditions that may be affecting performance. We record the inspection and make the footage available to our customers for future maintenance, repairs, or property records. We take the time to honestly and openly explain the footage and answer any questions. The inspection provides a detailed look at the sewer system, making it one of the most effective ways to understand what's happening inside a sewer line without unnecessary digging or disruption.

Step
Testing & Clean-up
Once the inspection is complete, we review our findings and explain to our customer what was observed inside the line. If we do identify any concerns, we'll honestly discuss all the available options and answer any questions the customer may have. Sometimes sewer inspections confirm that everything is in good shape, and sometimes it reveals a problem before it becomes a much larger issue. With KangaRooter, you'll gain a clearer understanding of your sewer system and its condition. Our goal is to provide the information you need to make confident, informed decisions about your property.
