Have you noticed interesting odors around your home? Do you have water spilling out of your toilet or sink? These are all signs that your sewer line has a problem. At Streamline Plumbing & Underground Sewer Construction, we provide sewer camera inspection services for your home with our in-line video cameras. Give your Oakland, CA, sewer line the care it needs
A sewer line is deep underground. Determining the source of your sewer line problem is not easy without the help of a sewer camera inspection for your home. With cameras, we pinpoint the issue and determine what to do next. The use of cameras helps fix problems quickly, saves you on potential costly repairs later, and shows you how to prevent these problems from happening again.
Although every person’s sewer line problem is different, we often see a consistency with the problems we find. Reasons why your sewer line is damaged include:
• Grown tree roots
• Sewer line leaks
• Sewer line corrosion

All of these problems are fixable, but we wouldn’t be able to diagnose them quickly without the use of a camera.
