Camera inspection
Putting a camera on a flexible cable into the line shows the inside of the pipe on a screen, including cracks, roots, sags and collapsed stretches, and the repair the plumber suggests follows from what appears.
Sewer Line Repair in Nampa
When drains back up again and again, the problem may be in the sewer line that carries waste out of the house, and a camera inspection shows what is going on inside it.
From there the fix can be small, a root cleared or one section patched, or it can be a new line from the house outward.
Repair options for a sewer line
Clearing roots
Roots that find a joint grow into the pipe and snag everything that passes. Cutting them out restores the flow, though the opening they came through still has to be dealt with.
Spot repair
One broken stretch does not always call for a new line. Digging out that stretch and mending or relining it leaves the rest of the sewer line undisturbed.
Replacing the line
A line that is cracked or collapsed along much of its length is replaced with new pipe, which means trenching across the yard or opening the floor.
Replacing a sewer line in Nampa
Nampa’s plumbing fee schedule lists a sewer line, new or replacement, and a water line, new or replacement, among its residential plumbing permit items.
Your home’s age and the sewer line
The sewer line age checker for Nampa opens on 1998. Half of the homes in town date to 1998 or earlier, so that is the year it assumes until you enter your own.
Blockages that are not in the sewer line itself fall under drain cleaning, and repiping covers the supply side. Start at the homepage for everything else.
