In Kyburz, where most homes were built in the 1940s and 50s, we commonly find several types of sewer line issues. Tree root intrusion is probably the most frequent problem—the forest environment means aggressive root systems that seek out moisture in your pipes and can cause significant blockages or even break pipes completely.
We also see deterioration in older pipe materials like clay tiles or cast iron that were commonly used decades ago. These materials can crack, collapse, or develop misaligned joints over time. Sediment buildup is another issue, especially in properties that aren’t used year-round.
The camera inspection shows us exactly what we’re dealing with, where the problems are located, and how extensive the damage is. This information is crucial for determining whether you need a simple cleaning, targeted repairs, or if it’s time to plan for pipe replacement.
