Camera inspection
A camera on a flexible cable runs through the line and records what it finds, from roots and low spots to cracks and broken joints. You see the picture before you decide.
Sewer Line Repair in Rochester Hills
Every drain in the house empties into one sewer line, so a clog or break there slows them all. A camera shows the problem, and then the plumber repairs or replaces the line.
Sewer inspection, repair and replacement are available in Rochester Hills and the other cities we serve.
Sewer line options
Clearing roots
Once roots work into a joint they snag whatever flows past. Cutting them out is the first step, and the camera then shows how sound the pipe underneath is.
Repairing one section
If only one stretch is damaged, the plumber exposes and repairs that stretch alone. The sound remainder of the line stays in the ground.
Replacing the line
When the pipe has failed along its whole length, no repair would hold. The plumber then lays a new line, starting at the house and ending at the tie-in.
Sewer-only permits
Sewer Only is one of three job types on the Rochester Hills plumbing permit form, the others being Water Heater and Water Service. Michigan lets a homeowner apply for a permit when installing his or her own building sewer or private sewer.
Reading the age of a house
Half of the homes in Rochester Hills went up in or before 1983, and 42 percent date from before 1980. In the sewer line age checker, the town you choose supplies a starting year that you may change, and you can add a symptom or note large trees near the line.
See the drain clearing page for clogs, the repiping page for supply lines and the home page.
