Get to Know Chris Griffin

The main sewer line is the main drain pipe leading from the exterior of the structure to the city (public) sewer pipe connection normally found under the street or alley. The main sewer line can also connect to a private sewage disposal system such as a septic tank or cesspool. The main sewer line is installed underground and therefore not visible. A main sewer line inspection involves sending a special camera into the sewer pipe so that its condition can be determined.

There are many problems that can occur within the main sewer line, the most common being root intrusions that can cause blockages of the drain line and damage the pipe. Seismic activity can also cause damage and breaks in the sewer pipe. Many sewer pipes are made of materials that have a specific design life expectancy and may be worn out to the point of needing replacements or repairs.

Approximately 90% of the main sewer lines in the Los Angeles area and surrounding cities have conditions occurring within them that require attention. Many of the main sewer line pipes are made from materials that either wear out over time or can be damaged by seismic activity and root intrusions. Conditions or problems within a main sewer line can remain hidden and unknown for an extended period of time, thereby potentially causing further problems and more costly repairs. Having a main sewer line inspection can help to catch any current and future problems at an early stage, potentially saving money on repairs or replacements.

We, here at Sewerline Check Professionals, do not perform repairs or replacements for the sewer line. This allows us to be completely non-biased in our findings and recommendations.

Certifications

Sewerline Check Professionals uses state-of-the-art equipment to determine the condition of the sewer line. As the main sewer line is underground, it cannot be seen, and problems can develop without anyone realizing it, causing unexpected costly repairs. We provide a computerized report and dvd video on-site.

The drain pipes under or in the building are the building drain system. This system connects to the main sewer line (also known as the building sewer) just outside of the structure. The focus of a main sewer line inspection is on the drain pipe outside the structure. We do offer specialty inspections of the building drain system if required.

Main sewer line inspections performed by courteous, knowledgeable sewer technicians using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.
