Sewer Camera Inspections in Geneva, IL

Reasons to Get a Sewer Camera Inspection in Geneva

The usual reasons:

Buying a Historic Home

A house from the 1800s almost certainly has an old lateral. Know its condition before you close.

Repeat Clogs

Find out whether it's roots, a sag or a break.

Before a Remodel

Check the line and under-floor drains first.

After a Big Storm

Was it your line or an overloaded sewer?

Local Knowledge

What We Find in Geneva Sewer Lines

Geneva's footage varies a lot by neighborhood.

Clay With Roots Near Downtown

The most common finding in the historic district.

Old Patches and Transitions

Lines repaired over a century show different materials joined together.

Sags on the West Side

Low spots where newer lines settled.

Grease and Debris

Sometimes the pipe is fine and just needs cleaning.

Plaster, Hardwood and Historic Finishes

In older homes, knowing exactly where a problem is matters. A located, measured problem means less disruption to floors and walls you want to keep.

Before You Line It

If you're considering a liner, the camera tells us whether the old pipe is round enough to line and where any collapsed sections are.
