Cutting Edge Excavating | Plumbing Services in Forest Lake, MN 55025

Our specialized plumbing inspection uses camera and pressure testing to map your home's underground drainage system. We identify weak points, blockages, or root intrusions in sewer and footing drain lines that commonly cause water to back up into basements during heavy rains. By finding and fixing these issues proactively, we can help prevent the sudden flooding that many local homeowners experience.

Absolutely. A common local issue is an overwhelmed or improperly configured drainage system that forces a sump pump to work non-stop. Our inspection assesses the exterior footing drains and the interior perimeter drain tile that feeds into your sump pit. We can determine if a clog, break, or insufficient capacity in these lines is causing the pump to overwork and fail, and then recommend the correct repair or upgrade.

We focus on factors unique to our region, like the impact of clay-heavy soil on pipe shifting and settlement, the prevalence of tree roots seeking moisture, and the performance of systems under seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The inspection checks for signs of these local stressors on your pipes and drainage, providing a clear picture of your home's vulnerability to the water issues common in our community.
