About Sewer Inspect Pros

Sewer Camera Inspection Company in River Forest, IL Near Me

Chicago and many older Illinois suburbs have clay sewer laterals under brick bungalows and two-flats, and those joints invite roots from parkway trees. Many of these areas also have combined sewers that carry storm water and sewage together, so heavy rain can push water back toward basements. Deep winter frost and freeze-thaw cycles add stress. A sewer scope for a home in River Forest, IL separates problems in your own lateral from backups coming from the public system. Sewer Inspect Pros books that camera inspection and the recorded video that goes with it.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Questions River Forest, IL homeowners and businesses ask most about Sewer Camera Inspection — and clear, honest answers.

Talk to a real person
What does an offset joint mean on my inspection report?
An offset means two pipe sections no longer line up at the joint, so one edge sticks into the flow. Soil movement, settling, roots and freeze-thaw cycles can all cause it. A slight offset may cause no trouble, while a larger one catches paper, lets roots in and can stop a cleaning cable. The report should list how far down the line each offset sits.
What is Orangeburg pipe, and why do inspectors flag it?
Orangeburg is a fiber pipe made from wood pulp and coal tar pitch, installed widely from the 1940s into the 1970s. After a few decades underground it starts to soften, blister and flatten under the weight of the soil, and on camera it often looks oval. Because it keeps deforming, most owners plan to replace it rather than patch it.
Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street?
In most U.S. cities the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to at least the property line, and often all the way to the connection at the public main, including the part under the street. Rules differ from city to city. Check with the public works department that serves River Forest, IL before you approve repairs, so you know which section is yours.
Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?
Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.
How often should a sewer line be inspected?
There is no single rule. Many owners scope a line when they buy a home and again only if symptoms show up. Homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg pipe, large trees nearby, or a known defect being monitored benefit from a scope every year or two. Comparing each new video with the last one shows whether anything is changing.
