Sewer lines are a vital part of any house, but they often go unnoticed until problems arise. Scheduling a professional sewer pipe inspection can save you money by catching small issues before they cause major breakdowns.
As a general rule, homeowners should get their sewer pipes inspected every 1 to 2 years as part of general home maintenance. Older properties might require more frequent inspections as pipe materials wear out over time and become more susceptible to damage. Age isn't the only factor. If your property has large trees, the roots can break through sewer pipes and cause leaks. Tree root infiltration happens slowly over time, so consistent inspections are essential.
You should also plan a sewer scope before buying a new house. You may not notice plumbing issues during a tour, but expert inspectors can check for sewer line blockages or cracks so that you're fully informed before buying.
Suspected damage is one of the most common reasons people get sewer scopes. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble to avoid costly system breakdowns:
Low water pressure may indicate a cracked or burst sewer line. Tree root infiltration might be the cause, but you won't know for sure until you get a sewer camera inspection. During a sewer scope, the technician will use specialized equipment to scan the pipes for damage. Small cracks can be repaired without replacing the whole sewer line, so early detection is essential.
Sewer line blockages might stop drains from working properly. They may drain eventually, but they will be slow. Worse blockages might stop drains completely. Schedule a sewer scope if you notice slow drains or pooling water in sinks and bathtubs.
If sewer pipes have tree root infiltration, you might find roots in your drains. Large-scale infiltration can push other debris into your drains, including twigs, rocks, and dirt. Older pipe materials are more likely to crack and let in roots. In many cases, sewer pipes that are more than 25 years old should be inspected annually to catch problems early.
When sewer lines break, drain water and waste leak into the surrounding dirt. This can lead to soggy grass, muddy patches, and pooling surface water. You may also notice areas of very green, lush grass due to excess water. During a sewer camera inspection, the inspector will locate any cracks or leaky pipes and recommend a repair plan.

The septic system alarm going off is an indicator of an issue within the system that requires immediate attention. Possible reasons for the alarm include: high water level in the tank, pump failure, blockage in the system, electrical issues, and component malfunction within the alarm system itself.
Typically, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 years. However, the frequency can vary based on household size, water usage, and tank size.
Warning signs include foul odors, slow draining sinks/toilets, pooling water in the yard, or gurgling noises from drains. These may indicate a potential issue with the system.
It's advisable to avoid unnecessary additives as they might disrupt the natural bacterial balance in the tank. Regular pumping and proper maintenance are typically sufficient.
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items (e.g., wipes, feminine hygiene products) and pouring grease, oil, chemicals, or medications down drains, as they can harm the system and the environment.
Regular maintenance, conserving water, avoiding excess use of garbage disposals, and being mindful of what goes into drains can help prevent problems.
Certain trees and shrubs with shallow root systems may damage the septic system. It's best to consult with professionals before planting near the tank or drain field.
Building structures or paving over the system can hinder access for maintenance and repairs. It's crucial to adhere to local regulations and consult professionals before making changes.
Properly maintained septic systems can last for several decades. However, regular inspections and maintenance are essential for longevity.
If you experience a backup, minimize water usage immediately and contact a septic professional for assistance. Avoid using sinks, toilets, or other water fixtures until the issue is resolved.
