Marios Plumber | Plumbing Services in Portland, OR 97204

A professional plumbing inspection uses specialized cameras to see inside your pipes, pinpointing the exact location and cause of a clog. In Portland, slow drains are often due to moss root intrusion or accumulated debris. An inspection tells us if it's a simple blockage or if roots have damaged the line, allowing us to recommend the most effective and cost-efficient repair for your specific situation.

During an inspection focused on root intrusion—a common issue in our area—we use a sewer camera to look for tell-tale signs like thin root hairs, cracks in the pipe where roots have entered, or a complete blockage. We assess the extent of the damage and the pipe's material to determine if a hydro-jetting, root cutting, or pipe repair solution is needed to prevent future problems.

Absolutely. Older homes in Portland often have clay or cast iron sewer lines that are more susceptible to cracks and root intrusion. A proactive inspection can reveal developing issues before they cause a major backup or costly damage to your property. It provides peace of mind and can be a valuable part of home maintenance, especially before the rainy season when saturated ground can exacerbate root and drainage problems.
