How do I know if my sewer line needs to be inspected?

Common warning signs include drains that are slow throughout the house, toilets that gurgle or back up repeatedly, and unpleasant sewage odors inside or outside your home. If you notice any of these, it's worth having a camera inspection done before the problem worsens or causes property damage.

What does a sewer camera inspection actually show?

A small waterproof camera is fed through your sewer line so the technician can see the pipe's interior in real time. This reveals blockages, tree root intrusion, cracks, collapsed sections, or buildup that would otherwise require guesswork to locate. It takes the uncertainty out of diagnosis before any repair work begins.

Do you handle full sewer line replacement, or just inspections?

Heaney Plumbing & Heating offers both — sewer line inspection and repair are listed together as a core service, and sewer excavation is also part of what the team does. After the camera inspection, your technician will walk you through what was found and what level of repair is needed, whether that's a targeted fix or a more involved excavation.

Are your plumbers licensed to do this work in Michigan?

Yes. The team includes Master, Journeyman, and Apprentice Plumbers who are licensed through Michigan LARA, and the business is fully insured. Heaney has been serving Southeast Michigan since 1969, so this is work the crew has done many times across Macomb and Wayne Counties.
