At YDIG, Sacramento’s premier provider of trenchless sewer repair and video camera sewer inspections, we specialize in identifying and resolving plumbing issues for commercial properties with minimal disruption. During a recent inspection of a commercial building at 3709 (owned by Ethan Conrad Properties), our team used state-of-the-art camera technology to diagnose a sewer line issue near the men’s and women’s restrooms.
Accessing the line via a cleanout by the drinking fountain, the video revealed a hand towel lodged in the pipe—clearly visible as it hung down, likely causing backups by trapping paper and debris. The line, which includes a liner and transitions from clay pipe to cast iron, showed no directional fitting, though this wasn’t a major concern. Further exploration identified a two-way cleanout down the line and a one-way cleanout, with the overall pipe condition being clean aside from this obstruction. At about 70 feet out, the camera confirmed the blockage’s impact, underscoring how foreign objects like towels can cause recurring issues.
This case highlights the value of our $245 video camera sewer inspection (available in the Sacramento area)—a non-invasive way to pinpoint problems without excavation. For lasting solutions, our trenchless sewer repair methods, such as pipe lining and CIPP, repair or replace lines efficiently, protecting your business from downtime and costly digs.
