Sewer Camera Inspection in Farmington
Farmington housing is a historic downtown with much newer development out toward the retail and transit area, which usually means old lines in the historic streets, modern PVC in the new build. The age of a property is the best single predictor of what its drain lines are made of, and that decides what a camera inspection is likely to show.
Farmington’s historic streets have the mature trees and old clay laterals that go with them. The newer development is a different world below ground, and the two ends of town rarely have the same problem.
What we look for in Farmington lines
In housing this age the camera is usually reading one of two stories. Either the cast iron has closed up concentrically with rust and scale, narrowing evenly from the wall inward, or a clay joint further out has shifted and let roots in. Those look completely different on screen and need completely different work.
That is the Farmington version of the question. The general case, including when this service is the wrong choice, is covered on the sewer camera inspection page.
Access in Farmington
Older properties often have the cleanout in the basement rather than outside, and on some of the oldest housing there is no accessible cleanout at all. That is worth establishing on the phone, because it changes both the approach and the cost.
Farmington is inside our regular Davis County service area, so travel is not the constraint. Access at the property usually is.
Before we recommend anything
It is worth doing on anything that has backed up more than once, on anything affecting several fixtures, and before buying an older property.
If the line turns out to be sound, that is what we will tell you. A recurring blockage on its own is not evidence that a sewer needs replacing.
