Why Choose Perma-Seal For Sewer Services
If you are concerned about a potential sewer problem, it is important to talk with an expert. Home and business owners need to know that sometimes a wet basement or a damp crawl space can be attributable to a plumbing or sewer line problem instead of a water intrusion problem. When our team is at your home, all of your plumbing components will be thoroughly inspected to ensure we catch any problems or warning signs early on.
Our Sewer Services
Sewer Backup Prevention
Our team utilizes two types of sewer backup prevention systems (AKA Sewer Overflow Prevention Systems): inside the basement and outside the home. While each has its specific application and purpose, the goal is the same: prevent sewer backups and overflows in your home.
Sewer Camera Inspection
If you think your sewer lines may have a problem, one of the fastest and easiest ways to investigate and evaluate them is to schedule a sewer camera inspection. This will allow us to properly inspect the line for any type of sewer clogs or larger sewer lateral issues and help prevent backups.
Sewer Line Repair
Our sewer line inspections can reveal damages to your main sewer line that must be fully repaired. These can include root intrusions, deterioration, and complete collapse or cracking. These issues are often hard to identify and may require a full sewer camera inspection to pinpoint.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sewer backup prevention system, and do I need one?
A sewer backup prevention system is designed to stop wastewater from backing up into your basement during heavy rains or mainline blockages. If your home has experienced previous backups or is in a flood-prone area, installing a backup prevention system—either inside the basement or outside the foundation—can provide essential protection.
What’s the difference between an interior and exterior sewer backup system?
Interior systems are installed inside the basement and typically involve a check valve or overhead sewer system. Exterior systems are installed outside the home, often including a backflow valve and sump pit. The right solution depends on your home’s layout and local sewer conditions—our team can evaluate and recommend the best option.
How does a sewer camera inspection work?
We insert a high-resolution waterproof camera into your sewer line to visually inspect the condition of the pipes. This allows us to detect clogs, root intrusions, cracks, or collapsed sections without invasive digging, helping you avoid unnecessary repairs and identify the real issue quickly.
When should I schedule a sewer camera inspection?
Schedule an inspection if you notice recurring drain clogs, foul odors, water backing up, or slow drainage throughout your home. It’s also wise to get an inspection before purchasing a new home to identify any hidden sewer issues.
What causes damage to a sewer lateral?
Common causes include tree root intrusion, shifting soil, aging pipes, ground movement, and corrosion or deterioration over time. These issues can lead to slow drains, backups, or even total line failure if left unaddressed.
