Culpeper, VA based Bell Harig Home Inspections is taking steps to raise awareness of the vital nature of home maintenance in Fredericksburg, with a particular emphasis on sewer line inspections. As part of this effort, they recently published a blog post that sheds light on sewer lines and their function. The article is available here: https://bellharig.com/fredericksburg-va-home-a-battlefield.

The author of the blog states, “There are pipes responsible for wastewater drainage that need to be inspected properly by a professional team. Such pipes will pose a threat to a home if they are not properly checked.” She adds, “Issues such as sewer sag will cause the pipeline to flow in an irregular shape, which will in turn cause water to leak. It prevents water from going up, and all the waste and water will then collect at the site of the sag.”

The wastewater will not be able to drain as a result of this blockage. Fortunately for homeowners, the company utilizes new inspection techniques that will help them discover such problems in the sewer line. Eric Harig of Bell Harig Home Inspections says, “An inspection carried out by sewer camera will help keep the line in proper condition whether it is a commercial or private property. The technology will also help identify any further issues that owners of the property in question should be aware of, especially those that would inhibit further attempts to perform maintenance in any way.”

Harig continues, "The sewer camera inspection is an easy process. The camera is sent into the sewer line, at which point its high-resolution sensors will help us check for any minor issues that will cause a problem in later stages. Such issues can take the form of leaks, breaks or cracks in the sewer pipes.” He observes that while property owners may consider inspections an unnecessary expense, they should consider this form of maintenance an investment that will prevent them from having to pay for much costlier repairs if an issue in their sewer line goes untended for too long.

“After the camera detects a defect in the system, the team on site will present the property owner with a list of suggestions that will rectify the problem at hand. They will also be able to offer advice to help tackle issues such as a sewer overflow. Harig states that grease, for instance, is a substance that has a high tendency to block sewage systems. He advises, “Avoid pouring cooking oil in the kitchen sink, and never flush grease in the toilet. When people pour it down in the toilet, the substance will then become a solid and hinder the drainage system. Instead, you should dispose of it in the garbage.” Disposal procedures should also be appropriate to the item. People should not flush any fibrous food, for instance, because it could damage the sewer line. Notably, coldwater can exacerbate any existing problems since it allows certains liquids to solidify faster.

Harig states that homeowners should seek a plumber’s assistance when they notice a blockage in their pipes. Furthermore, the drain should be cleaned every month to avoid blockages. White vinegar and baking soda can be used to clean the bathtub and sink, particularly because they are primary sources for drainage. He adds, "Trees and plants should be situated away from homes if possible since the roots often cause issues with drains and sewer lines. Shrubbery may pose a problem too if left unchecked.” He notes that in most circumstances, performing regular maintenance and having inspections carried out by a professional will help a homeowner avoid bigger complications in the future.

Maintenance also has the benefit of giving homeowners a more precise idea of the state of their sewer line. This gives them the opportunity to make further investments, should they wish, that will reduce the risk of damage to their pipes. In many cases, this will also raise the value of the property itself.
