Plumbing under a Washington brick home or storefront may have been changed several times over the decades, and nobody has a drawing of it. A sewer camera shows what's actually there. We record the run from cleanout to main, share the video with you, and mark any trouble spot on the ground before anyone talks about digging.

## Local conditions in Washington

Near Front Street and Main Street, older buildings often carry a mix of original clay or cast iron and newer plastic. On video, the joints where one material meets another are among the first places we check, because offsets and gaps there catch debris and let roots in.

Washington sits on bluffs above the Missouri River, and laterals on hillside lots can run long and deep. A camera with a locator lets us tell you not just what the problem is but where it is and how far down, which matters when the line runs under a retaining wall, a garden or a driveway.

Homes in newer neighborhoods along Highway 100 and Highway 47 mostly have PVC. There, the camera usually finds sags where fill settled, a joint that separated, or something that was flushed and lodged. If a repair is needed, you get a written quote, and trenchless options can be coordinated through our trusted trenchless partners.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you inspect the sewer line under a downtown commercial building?

Yes. We inspect lines for storefronts and older commercial buildings as well as homes, as long as there's a cleanout or another access point.

### Can the camera tell what my pipe is made of?

Usually, yes. Clay, cast iron and plastic look different on video, and the camera shows where one material changes to another.

### What happens if you find a problem?

We locate and mark it from the surface, show you the footage, and give you a written quote before any work.
