The best way to know for sure is with a camera inspection, which we include with every service call. However, warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, sewage odors in your yard, wet spots on your lawn with no obvious water source, and gurgling sounds from your toilets when you run water elsewhere.
In Hood, we often see problems caused by tree root intrusion and the clay soil that shifts with seasonal moisture changes. These issues usually start small but get worse quickly if not addressed. A camera inspection shows us exactly what’s happening inside your pipes so we can recommend the most cost-effective solution—whether that’s cleaning, spot repairs, or full replacement.
