Very Professional and Polite,
Sewer Line Video Inspection for Fast, Accurate Diagnosis
If you’re dealing with a slow drain or sewage backup, the first step is to find out what’s happening beneath the surface. Our sewer line video inspection uses a small, waterproof camera to travel through your underground pipes and give us a real-time view of their condition. We can detect everything from tree root intrusions to cracked or misaligned pipes without tearing up your yard.
Here’s what our video inspection helps identify:
- Tree root damage or blockages
- Pipe misalignment or corrosion
- Grease or sludge buildup
- Collapsed or broken pipe sections
Video inspections are a non-invasive, cost-effective way to get a full understanding of your sewer system. Once we see the problem, we’ll walk you through your repair options so you can make the right call.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Options
Gone are the days when sewer repair meant tearing up your entire lawn. At Penning, we offer trenchless sewer repair solutions for many common pipe issues. This means less mess, faster repairs, and a much more affordable process. Using pipe bursting or pipe lining techniques, we can replace or reinforce damaged pipes without major excavation.
Trenchless repair is ideal for:
- Minor to moderate pipe damage
- Older homes with landscaping you want to preserve
- Quick turnaround without sacrificing quality
We’ll assess whether trenchless technology is the best fit for your home and make sure your plumbing system is restored quickly and correctly.
Sewer Line Replacement Services
If your sewer pipes are beyond repair, especially if they’ve deteriorated due to age, soil shifting, or tree root intrusion, our team can perform a full sewer line replacement. Replacing your sewer line doesn’t just fix current problems; it also gives you peace of mind for decades to come.
Signs you may need a full replacement include:
- Frequent clogs or backups
- Strong sewage odors inside or outside
- Gurgling noises from drains
- Foundation cracks near plumbing lines
We’ll clearly explain the replacement process and costs, then get to work with high standards for safety and quality.
Common Sewer Line Issues in the Grand Rapids Area
In Grand Rapids and nearby cities, homeowners face sewer line issues due to seasonal temperature changes, older plumbing systems, and tree-lined neighborhoods. These local factors can take a toll on your sewer lines over time.
Common issues we frequently see include:
- Tree Root Invasion: Trees in older neighborhoods like East Grand Rapids often extend roots into sewer pipes.
- Pipe Settling and Shifting: Soil movement, especially after freeze-thaw cycles, can dislodge or break pipes.
- Corrosion in Aging Homes: Many homes in Kentwood and Cascade still have original pipes that are now deteriorating.
- Heavy Rainfall Backups: Sudden downpours can cause sewer lines to overload or backflow into homes.
Knowing what’s typical for your area helps us provide more accurate diagnoses and solutions tailored to your location.
