At YDIG, your trusted Sacramento experts in trenchless sewer repair and video camera sewer inspections, we help homeowners identify and resolve hidden plumbing issues before they escalate. In a recent inspection at a property in Sacramento (address 5844), our team used advanced camera technology to assess the main sewer line's condition, revealing a common culprit: food buildup.
Starting from the two-way cleanout in the driveway, the line heads east toward the property's edge, exiting at a one-way cleanout near the sidewalk. Pulling the camera backward, we observed the pipe dipping slightly underwater—indicating a potential sag or low spot. The line consists of ABS pipe as it approaches the house, transitioning to plastic pipe under the foundation near the garage door.
Flipping the camera to inspect further under the house, we encountered significant buildup. "There's just a lot of food in this thing," as noted during the live inspection—a classic sign of grease, debris, and organic matter accumulating over time, leading to clogs and backups.
This is why our $245 video camera sewer inspection (available in the Sacramento area) is essential: it provides a clear, real-time view without excavation, helping pinpoint issues like buildup that hydro jetting or snaking might not fully resolve. For a permanent fix, consider our trenchless sewer repair options, such as pipe lining or descaling, which restore your system with minimal disruption to your property.
