Sewer Line Inspection in Arlington, TX – Heavy Roots and Offset Sewer Line Found
Today, The Sewer Inspection Company completed a sewer line inspection at a residential property in Arlington, Texas. This property is being used as an Airbnb / VRBO rental home, so having a properly working sewer line is extremely important for both the owner and the guests staying at the home.
During the inspection, we found that the sewer line is not serviceable at this time. The toilet is not working properly, and the camera inspection revealed significant problems inside the sewer line.
What We Found
We inspected the sewer line and found a massive amount of root intrusion at approximately 22 feet. Root intrusion can block the line, slow drainage, catch toilet paper and waste, and eventually cause sewage backups inside the home.
We also found an offset in the sewer line at approximately 32 feet. An offset occurs when two sections of pipe are no longer properly aligned. This can create a restriction in the line and make it difficult for waste and water to flow properly toward the city sewer connection.
Why This Matters
For an Airbnb or VRBO property, a sewer line problem is not just a plumbing issue. It can quickly become a guest issue, a scheduling issue, and a property management issue. If the toilet is not working properly and the sewer line is not serviceable, the property owner risks backups, complaints, cancellations, and additional damage.
A sewer camera inspection helps identify the exact location and nature of the problem before repairs are performed. In this case, the inspection clearly showed root intrusion at approximately 22 feet and an offset at approximately 32 feet.
Our Recommendation
Based on the findings, we will be preparing an estimate for the homeowner to repair the damaged areas of the sewer line. The goal is to restore proper flow, remove the obstruction risk, and make the line serviceable again.
