After major storms, saturated soil in Skokie puts pressure on underground sewer lines, often leading to slow drains, foul odors, or backups. At J Blanton Plumbing, we use camera sewer inspections to quickly and accurately diagnose these post-storm issues.
How Camera Sewer Inspections Work
We insert a waterproof video camera into your sewer line, allowing real-time footage of the interior. This reveals:
- Cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections
- Tree root intrusion
- Grease or debris buildup
- Foreign object blockages
Why Rain Triggers Sewer Problems
Storms cause hydrostatic pressure and groundwater infiltration, stressing aging or damaged pipes. Common signs include:
- Gurgling drains
- Sewer odors
- Standing water in basements
- Soggy lawn patches
Benefits of Camera Inspections
- Accurate Diagnosis – Pinpoints the problem without guesswork
- Condition Check – Assesses aging clay or cast iron pipes
- Non-Invasive – No need for digging or demolition
- Before-and-After Verification – Confirms repair success
