When your home’s plumbing fails it can cause all kinds of problems. For example, a leaking tub can trickle water all over the floor and walls without the anyone ever realizing there is even a problem. If that water spreads around and seeps into the walls or soaks into the floor you can wind up with some expensive repairs, however, if the moisture is allowed to soak into the framing and joists of the home you might end up with thousands of dollars worth of structural damage. Leaks can come from either the potable inlet water supply or the sewage drainage lines and sometimes it is difficult to discern which.
Sewer Repair in Olympia, WA is often much harder work for the plumber than most fresh water repairs and installations. This is mainly because many sewer lines have large portions of the existing pipe buried in the yard or under the home. Even inspecting the drains for problems can be difficult when all you can see is some exposed fittings. Thankfully, modern plumbing has a solution for this problem in the form of the video snake. The snake is a plumbing tool similar to the pipe snake which is commonly used to poke through clogs. The flexible line winds it’s way through the pipe with a camera attached to the end. That camera feeds a video signal back to the plumber who’s trained eye can quickly spot cracks and breaks in your pipe.

This amazing system could give the homeowner decades of leak free drain lines.
