“I am a tradesman and can recommend Hillcrest.”

After 50 years our house perimeter drain collapsed. Hillcrest came in with a good quote but the best feature was the foreman, Paul and his installation crew. They were courteous and professional. One small glitch occurred with the replacement of the rear stairs…but Paul was quick to return to cheerfully rectify the problem.

Drain Inspection 101

A drain inspection is excellent for identifying blockages and breaks in a pipeline. Blockages are often caused by buildups of clay, dirt, leaves, gravel, or yard waste, while breaks are typically the result of roots, gradual movement in the earth, or accidental construction damage.

Drain inspections are beneficial because they’re more precise, cost-effective, and informative than other methods like breaking down walls or digging trenches. While those kinds of invasive approaches might be needed for repairs, it’s better to diagnose the problem in a less destructive way first.

You should get a drain inspection if you notice signs of problems with your plumbing, like backups, slow drainage, fluctuating water pressure or unusual damp areas.

It’s also highly recommended that you get a drain line inspection as part of your annual property inspection or when you move into a new property.

Yes, a drain inspection can be useful in identifying leaks, but it’s better for identifying readily visible damage that’s causing water to leak. For smaller leaks, our plumbing experts can use moisture inspections and thermographic infrared imaging to pinpoint the source.
