Sewer Line Leak Detection in Irvington, NJ

Expert Sewer Line Leak Detection in Irvington, NJ

Beneath the streets of Irvington Center and the Chancellor Avenue area, aging infrastructure is common. Sewer line leak detection Irvington NJ often involves inspecting cracked cast-iron and clay sewer laterals that have deteriorated over decades. The clear warning signs of a sewer leak include persistent sewer odors in your home, inexplicably wet basement walls, slow drains across multiple fixtures, or sudden lush green patches in your yard where root intrusion has broken the pipe.

How We Inspect Sewer Lines

We do not guess where a sewer line is broken. Our detection method utilizes high-definition waterproof camera inspections. We push a specialized camera down your main cleanout to visually inspect the interior of the pipe. We can see exactly where roots have penetrated, where bellies in the pipe hold water, or where the cast iron has rusted through. If the leak is causing odors without a visible drain break, we utilize safe smoke testing to see where sewer gases are escaping into the home. We find the source before opening walls or digging up your property.

Repairing the Sewer Line

After we successfully identify the leak's location and cause, we explain your repair options. Costs depend on whether we can perform trenchless pipe lining or if traditional excavation is required to replace the collapsed section. Any major underground sewer work requires a NJ licensed master plumber, and we remind property owners to call NJ One Call (811) before any digging commences. If you suspect your issue is a fresh water supply line instead, please see our water line leak detection page, or return to leak detection in Irvington.
