What is a sewer line location?

A sewer line location is the act of using a locator and sewer scoping equipment with a transmittable camera to:

  1. Determine the location of a problem in a sewer system

  2. Map the location of the system

    • Potentially in the interior of the property (dependent on the size of the lines) and/or on the exterior of the property to where it connected to the sewer/septic system

A sewer line mapping can occur

  1. As an independent service

How will the location be documented?

A sewer line mapping can occur:

  1. As an independent service - if the property is owned by the client, with permission (written or verbal) a marking will be made on the property by using, but not limited to, a flag, spray paint, etc.

  2. As an addition to a sewer scoping service - the mapping will be made with a temporary object. The locations will be documented via photograph and added as a supplement section to the sewer scope report. The marking will then be removed from the property.
