Rain drain lines play an important role in safeguarding our homes against water damage. Whether it's having a job connect to a rain drain system, identifying blockages, root intrusions, or pipe breakages, investigations become indispensable. Think of it like a detective for your plumbing. Our investigations can uncover hidden threats before they cause big problems, whether it's:
Connecting to a Rain Drain System: Before completing a job that involves connecting to a rain drain system, it's crucial to ensure its functionality, especially if the homeowner is uncertain about its effectiveness. Sometimes, homeowners are sure their lines are good & functioning. In that case, we can connect without an investigation, but if you’re unsure, an investigation is a much smaller price to pay than the effects of water intrusion or damage in other areas.
New Homeowners: For new homeowners seeking to familiarize themselves with their property's drainage infrastructure, investigations can provide invaluable insights. We use both a camera & a jet and can trace the pathways of a drainage system. We’re able to provide an accurate breakdown of where those lines go, and how they get there.
Identifying Potential Issues: From clogged lines to suspected root intrusions or pipe breakages, investigations help diagnose many problems, preventing costly damage in the future. We use our cameras, and if we encounter a clog, we can often flush it through the system, clearing it up to handle your stormwater.
Preventing Water Intrusion: Water intrusion near downspouts or backing up of pipes can signify underlying issues that require immediate attention. In fact, one of the top reasons for basement and crawlspace water intrusion is a break or damage in a rain drain system nearby.
