Ever lost something down the kitchen, bathroom, or sewer drain? A ring? A toy? Maybe even (shudder) your dentures? We’ve all been there. It’s that sinking feeling of “oh no, what now?” But what happens when it’s not something you can fish out with a coat hanger? What if it’s something bigger, lurking deeper, causing a blockage that sends shivers down your spine?
That’s where NW Sewer and Drain comes in, armed with our trusty camera inspection technology. Think of it as a non-invasive surgery for your plumbing and sewer drains, a way to “inspect my pipe” without the mess and mayhem of traditional digging. We’ve seen things that would make your skin crawl, things you wouldn’t believe unless you saw them with your own eyes (and thankfully, you don’t have to!).
Real-Life Drain Horrors That Will Make You Say “Inspect My Pipe!”
We know, you don’t want to think about what’s going on down there in the dark depths of your drains. But trust us, some of the things we’ve found will have you screaming “inspect my pipe!” at the first sign of a gurgle.
- The Root of All Evil: Tree roots, those silent invaders, sneaking into your pipes through the tiniest cracks, growing into monstrous blockages that can wreak havoc on your entire system. One homeowner had a slow-draining shower, and when we used our camera to “inspect my pipe,” we found a root system so dense it looked like a scene from a horror movie.
- The Grease Monster: That bacon grease you poured down the drain? It might seem harmless at the time, but over time it congeals into a sticky, stubborn monster, clinging to your pipes and causing all sorts of trouble. We’ve even heard tales across the internet about a “greaseberg” the size of a football in a kitchen drain!
- The Foreign Legion: From toys and jewelry to…well, let’s just say we’ve seen things that would make you blush. One memorable case involved a child’s toy, a significant amount of dental floss, and something we can only assume was once part of a kitchen utensil. The homeowner was mortified, but hey, we don’t judge. We just “inspect my pipe” and get to the bottom of the problem.
