American Rooter can put a camera in almost any drain to see its condition or what may be causing a problem. There is no better way to confirm an issue than to get a picture of it. Cameras help identify serious problems and ensure all buildup and roots are removed the first time.
Yes. American Rooter will send a digital copy of the inspection or burn the inspection onto a DVD so you can view it later.
Check the records at your local Town Hall or Local Health Department. Also check with local Septic Pumping companies who may have been there before. Sometimes a metal detector or probe can be useful but if no one seems to know where it is the only other option is to camera the main sewer line. The camera will show when it gets to the tank and a locating device can be used to determine where the camera is.
American Rooter uses camera and locating equipment to trace and locate pipes and concerned areas every day. We can mark out where a pipe is within 12″ of its location. Our simple dye tests also confirm where a pipe might drain to, but do not provide details as to where the pipe is underground.
