Have questions about sewer or drain service in Detroit? We have answers.
We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Detroit property without any excavation.
We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 2 to 3 years for Detroit properties, or immediately if you notice warning signs like slow drains or sewage odors. Older homes in Detroit with clay or cast iron pipes should be inspected more frequently. Regular inspection catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
