Breaks
We investigate the various causes of breaks or cracks throughout the entire sewer line system. Causes can be rust, settlement, and root intrusion to name a few.
Why have a sewer inspection in Los Angeles?
Be prepared. A high percentage of main sewer lines have conditions requiring attention. Most sewer line pipes are made from materials that either wear out over time or can be damaged by seismic activity and root intrusions. Repairs can be costly, so it’s best to find out sooner than later.
Changes of Condition such as growing roots, seismic activity, and increased occupancy (leading to a higher volume of usage) can disrupt the system’s proper operation.
Peace of Mind. Nobody wants to experience a sewer back-up into their home or on their property. Most main sewer lines are underground and out of sight, therefore, potential problems would also be hidden. Routine inspections of the main sewer line can help identify these issues so they can be addressed to mitigate problems from occurring in your home or on your property.
Main sewer line inspections in Los Angeles performed by courteous, experienced, and knowledgeable inspectors using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.
We perform inspections only. We do not perform any repairs or service to the system, which allows us to present unbiased findings with no conflict of interest.
We offer approximate cost estimates for any needed repairs or replacements, which can be useful when comparing actual bids for repairs.
Areas of interest
Shifting
Ground shifting may cause sewer line joints to offset. This shifting may become a source of compromise and decrease the effectiveness of the sewer line.
Root Intrusion
When roots do get inside a pipe, they can continue to live and eventually outgrow the width and strength of sewer line. It requires a complete inspection.
Deterioration
Frequent treatments with chemical substances inevitably cause corrosion. Metal, clay, ABS and PVC pipes are strong, but they will deteriorate over time.

Without them, we would have bought this $25,000 problem ...
Without Sewerline Check’s experience, the neighbors Illegal tie in, may have been missed (like it had in previous inspections by other companies). Without them, we would have bought this $25,000 problem. I read some of the other reviews and want to say, Sewerline Check is an unbiased Inspection Company. If they sold you work, then they have a hat in the ring. The whole point of using them, is to get a professional, unbiased, true opinion of the condition of the sewer.”
Beyond impressed today at a home inspection ...
“Beyond impressed today at a home inspection. Hillside home with VERY steep dirt hill and no stairs to access the sewer-line clean-out. Technician hopped a fence and climbed up & down the multiple times to get his camera equipment in thru the line and flag the problem. I've worked with a ton of inspectors who often have no hesitation to charge extra to go thru a roof or toilet to access the line, so he handled the risky dirty situation with humor & grace.”

I was totally satisfied with the job that he performed ...
"You inspected our property when we bought our home and we had to have you back later on as the repair company did not correctly perform the work that you recommended. Chris Griffin came out to see what the problem was and figured out what needed to be done. Chris contacted the plumber for us and explained what needed to be done so that it could be handled correctly. He was completely professional, enthusiastic about his work, a great help and wonderful to work with. I was totally satisfied with the job that he performed and everything that he did for us.”
