When purchasing a new home, you’ll have a home inspection to find any potential issues around your house so you know what repairs you’ll need to make in the future. One thing that is not included in a normal home inspection is a sewer inspection. If your sewer line ever ruptures on your property, you are responsible for fixing it, not the town or the local water company. This can be very expensive, and can cost up to $300 per foot of repaired line. What is not expensive and can be done quickly is a sewer inspection from Heartland Mechanical.

Call Heartland Mechanical to have one of our professional plumbing technicians inspect your sewers. This service is much cheaper than replacing sewer lines, and gives you peace of mind which is invaluable. Contact Heartland Mechanical today to learn more about sewer inspections. 

What Does a Sewer Inspection Entail?

Sewers are gross, no question. But what’s even more gross is sewage on your lawn or in your basement because of a ruptured sewer line. When you call Heartland Mechanical for a sewer inspection at your Murphysboro home, we’ll bring along our state-of-the-art sewer scopes. We use a special camera to look into your sewer lines. A sewer scope is a camera attached to a flexible snake-like cable that is operated by the plumber. The sewer inspection process goes something like this:

  • The plumber pushes the camera head into the sewer. Bright lights on the camera head illuminate the interior, allowing the plumber to see every part of the pipe.

  • The camera transmits its image to a monitor for immediate viewing and recording for later viewing.

  • A radio transmitter embedded in the camera sends out a signal that can be detected with an electronic locating device to pinpoint the exact location of the line and depth from the surface so the plumber knows where to dig.

  • Then, the plumber diagnoses the issue and arranges for the best solution.

Benefits of Sewer Inspections

There are a lot of benefits this easy service can provide. Many Murphysboro homeowners appreciate having a sewer inspection done for the following reasons:

Ensure that the Issue is Addressed Properly

Common symptoms of sewer issues are a clogged drain or a clogged toilet in your plumbing system. You might hire plumbers or try DIY remedies to fix the clogs, but these solutions probably don’t last. If you have clogs in many drains in your Southern Illinois home, it’s worth having a sewer inspection so you aren’t wasting money with other remedies, and the fixes for your issues are discovered right away.
