🚧 Taking sewer inspections to the next level!

Steve’s Plumbing & Heating now uses a Deep Trekker ROV to examine sewers and other large-scale lines from the inside. This powerful remote-operated crawler allows our team to inspect underground piping, check pipe condition, and identify specific problems without unnecessary digging.

In these photos, Baily is operating the camera from above while the ROV travels underground through the piping, giving us a clear view of what’s happening below the surface.

Whether we’re looking for damage, blockages, deterioration, or other problem areas, this technology helps us diagnose issues more accurately and efficiently.

Keeping sewer lines clear takes the right tools and the right experience.

In this video, you can see one of the specialized tools we use in action. The adjustable chain knocker attaches to our drain cleaning equipment and spins through the pipe to gently remove scale, buildup, and blockages.

It is tough on buildup, but designed to protect the pipe — whether it is cast iron, concrete, or Orangeburg.

If your sewer line is draining slowly, backing up, or showing signs of buildup, we can help get things flowing again.

Not all sewer pipes are the same — and Orangeburg pipe needs to be handled with care.

This is one of the tools we use to clean Orangeburg sewer lines. The chain head spins inside the pipe to break up buildup and restore flow while helping us work carefully on older pipe material.

If you have recurring backups, or an older sewer line, it may be time for a sewer inspection and cleaning. Be sure to choose the right team, with the right tools for the job!

The Problem with Orangeburg Pipe

Orangeburg pipe was commonly used for sewer lines in many older homes. It was made from layers of wood pulp and tar, which made it lightweight and inexpensive at the time.

The problem is that Orangeburg does not hold up well over the years. As it ages, it can start to blister, flake, soften, collapse, or separate. Once that happens, sewage flow becomes restricted and the line can back up into the home.

Today, when we find Orangeburg pipe in this condition, it usually needs to be replaced or lined. If your home has an older sewer line and you are noticing slow drains, backups, or sewer odors, it may be time for a camera inspection.

We can help identify the issue and recommend the right fix before it becomes a bigger problem.

Welcome, Baily!

Baily recently moved his family from Colorado to Wisconsin to join our team, and we’re excited to have him on board. He brings strong expertise in CCTV sewer inspection and municipal sewer mapping, making him a great addition to our trenchless department.

In his new role, Baily will continue inspecting and mapping sewer systems while also helping with sewer line replacements through pipe bursting and lining. We’re glad to have him as part of the team!
