When drains are slow, gurgling, or backing up, the issue may be deeper than the sink or toilet. Sewer lines can develop blockages from tree roots, pipe settling, scale buildup, or breakage. The best way to understand what’s happening underground is with a sewer camera inspection.
Why Sewer Camera Inspections Matter
A camera inspection shows:
• The exact location of a blockage
• The condition of the sewer pipe material
• Whether tree roots have grown into the line
• If there are cracks, dips, or collapsed sections
This prevents guesswork and saves money by targeting the true problem instead of repeatedly treating symptoms.
Signs You May Need an Inspection
• Gurgling sounds from drains
• Multiple drains clogging at once
• Water backing up after flushing
• Persistent sewer odors
• Older Elmhurst homes with original piping
Many homes in Elmhurst have mature trees and older clay sewer lines—tree roots seek moisture and often grow directly into these pipes.
