Sewer Services in Portland, Oregon

Diagnosing the Problem

The only way to accurately diagnose the cause of sewer warning signs is through a video inspection, which uses a tiny, flexible camera to inspect the interior of your sewer lines. Our sewer camera inspections come with a full-color video of your sewer scope, a report on the condition of your sewer line and recommendations for sewer repair and maintenance.

repairing your sewer

When one of our experts inspects a failed sewer pipe, there are a number of things they may find that could have caused the pipe to fail. Trenchless sewer repair is often the preferred method due to its cleanliness, cost, and down-time.

What Causes Problems In Your Sewer Line?

There are a variety of reasons why you might be having issues with your sewer line when it is clogging & backing up. The most common causes include:

  • Tree roots growing into the pipes, causing blockage or holes in the pipe.
  • A low area in the pipe (pooling) caused by poor installation or soil movement.
  • Older pipes deteriorating and collapsing over time
  • Using your plumbing as a trash can, which can create blockages from excess garbage being disposed of in your toilet, sink & drain.

If you suspect you have an issue with your sewer line and would like a detailed inspection, or perhaps you know you have a problem and need trenchless repair services like pipe-bursting, Alpha Environmental has you covered. Call 503-292-5346 for more information today!

Sewer Inspection

  • Sewer Inspections with Video Scope
  • Septic Inspection

sewer scope inspection is beneficial for many reasons, whether you think you might have an issue with your sewer line, or perhaps you’re buying a piece of property, an inspection can give you peace of mind. And because most people don’t know that they are responsible for most sewer repairs in the line if it’s between your home and the city’s line, it’s essential to minimize your risk for repairs and cleaning services.

Sewer Repair  

Facing the prospect of a sewer repair can be a daunting thought, but with extensive experience and the latest equipment, Alpha Environmental can help make the process as smooth as possible. Our repair services include trenchless sewer line repair via pipe-bursting or directional drilling. In many cases, trenchless repair is the preferred method of sewer repair. Because trenching does not occur, the repair is less intrusive, more affordable, and offers a quicker turnaround than traditional, open-trenched sewer repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The experts at Alpha Environmental have the training and tools needed to repair your sewer line using eco-friendly trenchless methods, wherever possible. Contact us today for a sewer scope inspection to determine whether a trenchless sewer repair might be best for you, or call us at 503-292-5346 to schedule a free estimate.

 

It’s recommended to have a professional inspect your sewer lines every 1–2 years, especially if your home is older or you’ve experienced drainage issues in the past.

Some signs include slow drainage, frequent clogs, foul odors, gurgling sounds from drains, sewage backups, and patches of lush, green grass in your yard where the sewer line runs.

Stop using your plumbing immediately and contact a professional sewer company. Continuing to use the plumbing can cause further damage and sewage backup into your home.

Common causes include tree roots, grease buildup, foreign objects flushed down drains, and collapsed or damaged pipes.

Alpha environmental was extremely helpful in navigating me through the process of testing some leftover construction debris for asbestos so I could take it to the dump. Their office manager spent time with me on the phone discussing the options for sample collection, and was extremely friendly in answering my many questions. Sample drop off at the office was easy and the results even came back a few days earlier than expected. Will definitely return if I need more sampling done!

We used Alpha Environmental Services to conduct our home inspection, radon testing, sewer scope and oil tank decommissioning. Every part of their service was really professional. They took so many great photos of the house during the inspection and offered lots of explanation on what they found. Great team. Highly recommend!
