Sometimes the work with camera is not so easy. Recently we have a job up on the roof where we have to camera few roof drains and vent stack. The work hard but the view wonderful.

Trench less or digging!?

Trench less.
1. If the property has a nice yard is the best solution for spout repair or the whole line repair.
2. The best way  for re-lining is to have full size clean out, preferably out side.
3. Before you accept the re lining it will be better to have  another opinion from other company.
4. The best for correcting the transition between cast iron or duct iron pipe which go through foundation and old clay tile which runs under the yard to city sewer.
Dig.
1. If the main line has belly and you want to correct the issue than digging is probably the solution.
2. If you have several cracks, missing section of pipe, with huge gap between pipes the digging is your way.
3. If you have inside clean out and worse not at all, will be better to consider having outside clean out.
4. Because the trench less or under other name the re lining is a new technology and we don't know how the new line will last.

Have been this installed by a plumber!?

This is kind of TO BE CONTINUE at the most recent post. This is probably made by a person totally out of plumbing business. Unnecessary work.
twins!
Another think wrong is they did not use no share couplings to connect the PVC pipe by Clay tile.
 

Clean out nightmare

Many people are asking for main line cleaning. In most of the old houses or where the regular maintenance is something rare the clean out is so rusted that the clean out thread is gone. After the technician takes off the cap and do his work, he can not tight a new one and he looks for short cuts.  Install a test plug is one of them, put back the old cap with plumber putty is another one. Sometimes to install a new clean out can cost you hundreds but WE thing worth it. No leaks, no hidden sort cuts. We give you time to think about.

 All those clean outs are not properly. The worst is the A.
