Sewer Camera Inspections in Algonquin, IL
A camera inspection shows you exactly what's in your sewer line before you spend money on it. We record the line, mark the location and depth of every problem and walk you through the video. From our office on Esplanade Drive.
Why Algonquin Homeowners Get a Sewer Camera Inspection
The usual reasons:
Buying a 1990s or 2000s Home
Roots and sags often show up at this age. Know before you close.
Clogs Keep Returning
Find out whether it's roots, a sag or a break.
Before Finishing the Basement
Make sure the line and floor drains are sound first.
After the River Runs High
Check whether a cracked line is letting groundwater in.
What We Find in Algonquin Sewer Lines
More than half of the lines here went in between 1990 and 2009. The camera tends to show the same few things.
Fine Roots at Joints
Early root intrusion from maturing trees, easy to manage if it's caught early.
Sags
Standing water where the line settled after construction.
Grease and Debris
Often the pipe is fine and just needs cleaning.
Older Pipe Near the River
Homes in the older part of town may show clay or cast iron with age-related damage.
Settling Shows Up on Video
In 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, the camera often finds one or two low spots where the line settled. Knowing where they are lets you plan a targeted repair.
