Sewer Line Inspection in Greer, SC

We Treat Your Home Like It’s Our Own

A sewer line problem rarely stays small for long. What starts as a slow drain or a faint odor in the yard can turn into a backed-up system that affects your entire home. Chisholm Plumbing, AC & Furnace Repair uses camera inspection technology to look inside your sewer line and find out exactly what is going on before it becomes a bigger, more expensive issue. Whether you are dealing with a home that keeps clogging or you just bought a property in Greer and want peace of mind, our team can give you a clear picture of your sewer line’s condition.

Sewer lines are easy to forget about because they sit underground, out of sight and out of mind, until something goes wrong. By the time a problem becomes visible inside the home, it has often been developing for months or even years. A camera inspection takes the guesswork out of the equation and gives you real answers instead of assumptions.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs an Inspection

Sewer problems do not always show up as an obvious backup. Sometimes the warning signs are small and easy to brush off until the issue gets worse. If you notice any of the following, it is a good time to schedule an inspection.

Slow-draining sinks or tubs.
Gurgling sounds from drains
Sewage smell in the yard
Multiple clogged fixtures at once
Soggy or sunken areas outside
Sewage is backing up into the home
Cracks in the foundation or slab
Frequent need for drain snaking
Unusually green or lush patches of grass
Increased pest or rodent activity near the yard

Catching these signs early can save you from a much bigger repair down the road. A camera inspection lets us confirm the cause of the issue rather than relying on repeated snaking or temporary fixes that do not address the root cause.

What Our Sewer Camera Inspections Reveal

Our sewer camera inspections give us a real-time look inside your pipes, with no guesswork. We feed a waterproof camera through the line and watch a live video feed on a monitor, which lets us see cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and other issues as they actually appear inside the pipe.

Greer’s clay-heavy soil is part of the reason sewer inspections matter so much here. That soil holds moisture and shifts with the seasons, which puts extra pressure on underground pipes over time. Add in the mature trees found throughout many Greer neighborhoods, and root intrusion becomes a common culprit behind slow or blocked lines. Heavy Upstate rain events can also cause soil movement around older clay or cast-iron pipes, which sometimes leads to joint separations or minor shifting that only a camera can confirm.

Our inspections can also catch bellied pipes, where a section of the line has sunk, creating a low spot that collects waste and paper. We look for offset joints, collapsed sections, and buildup from years of grease or debris. Older homes in and around Greer sometimes still have original clay or cast-iron sewer lines, which are more prone to cracking and corrosion than modern PVC. Knowing the material and condition of your line helps us give you an accurate picture of what to expect in the coming years.

Once we know exactly what is happening inside the line, we can recommend a solution that fixes the root cause rather than just treating the symptom. This might mean a simple root cutting and clearing, a spot repair, or, in some cases, a full replacement if the pipe has reached the end of its life.

Our Sewer Line Inspection Process

Getting a sewer line inspection with Chisholm Plumbing, AC & Furnace Repair is simple and straightforward from start to finish. When you call, we will ask a few questions about what you are experiencing so we can send a technician who is ready to handle your specific situation.

Once we arrive, we locate the cleanout access point or, if needed, identify the best place to insert the camera. The camera moves through the pipe at a controlled pace while our technician watches the footage and marks the locations of any problems using sonde-locating equipment. This lets us pinpoint issues within a foot or two of accuracy, which saves time and reduces the need for guesswork during later digging.

As the camera travels along the line, we pay close attention to pipe material, joint condition, and any signs of standing water that might indicate a low spot or blockage further down. We take note of depth and distance markers along the way so that if repairs are needed, we already know exactly where to focus our efforts.

After the inspection, we walk you through what we found in plain language. You will see the footage yourself if you want, and we will explain what it means for your plumbing system. From there, we give you an upfront price for any recommended repairs so you can decide with all the facts in hand. There is never any pressure, just honest information about your home’s sewer line. If everything looks good, we will let you know that too and give you a general timeline for when to check again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a sewer line inspection take?

Most inspections take between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the length of the line and what we find along the way.

Will the inspection damage my pipes?

No. The camera equipment we use is designed to move through pipes safely without causing any damage.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected?

We recommend an inspection every one to two years, or sooner if you notice slow drains or other warning signs.

Can tree roots really damage a sewer line?

Yes. Roots are naturally drawn to the moisture inside sewer pipes and can grow into small cracks or joints, eventually causing blockages or breaks.

What happens if the inspection finds a problem?

We will explain exactly what we saw, show you the footage if you would like, and provide upfront pricing for any repair options before any work begins.
