PLEASANTON — If you experience chronic sewer line backups in your home, it’s likely a symptom of a larger underlying issue. Fortunately, thanks to innovations in plumbing technology, it’s now easier than ever to diagnose and repair sewer line problems.
Diagnosis 
In the past, diagnosing a sewer line involved a fair amount of guesswork, but today’s plumbers have the advantage of advanced imaging technology. In-line cameras enable plumbers to see the location and cause of a sewer line problem without having to dig an inch. Some of the things a plumber will look for during a video survey of your sewer line include flat spots or bellies in the line where materials are prone to collect, breaks and obstructions caused by tree roots, and separations between pipes where connections have worn away or no longer align properly.
Repair 
In the past, sewer line repair was an expensive, time-intensive process. Since the whole line often had to be dug up, the days-long project would disrupt the homeowner’s schedule and ruin their yard as well. Fortunately, modern innovations allow homeowners to avoid such inconveniences. Using trenchless technology, a plumber can typically repair a sewer line in a single day (often within a couple of hours), without the need for extensive excavation. So, if you’re tired of dealing with ongoing sewer line backups in your home, call a plumber to have the problem fixed once and for all.
