When to Call for CCTV Drain Inspection
A sewer line problem sends signals long before the pipe fails completely. Watch for these clues, and call us in Redding, CA before a small crack becomes a full backup.
Sewage Odors Inside or Outside
A rotten-egg or sewage smell often means waste is escaping the line. The odor may show up in a bathroom, a basement, or out in the yard.
This points to a crack or loose joint underground. We send a camera in to find the exact source.
Multiple Slow or Gurgling Drains
When several drains slow down or gurgle at once, the main line is usually the cause. A single slow sink is local, but the whole house acting up is not.
Gurgling means air is trapped by a partial blockage. Our camera shows whether roots, grease, or a break is behind it.
Soggy or Sunken Yard Patches
A leaking sewer line feeds water and waste into the soil above it. This creates soggy spots, sunken areas, or oddly green patches in your yard.
Redding’s clay soil holds that moisture and makes the sign easy to spot. We locate the leak so digging stays limited to one area.
Frequent Backups
A main line that backs up again and again is a warning, not a fluke. Older homes around Redding and Anderson often have clay pipes that cracks and invites roots.
Each backup adds to the damage below ground. A camera inspection finds the real cause so the fix lasts.
