Why You Should Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection Before the Deep Freeze

Once the deep freeze hits Chicago, sewer line repairs become more difficult and expensive. Scheduling an inspection in early winter can save you from mid-season plumbing disasters.

Why Early Winter Inspections Matter

  • Frozen Ground Complications: Excavation becomes harder and slower.
  • Hidden Damage Worsens: Small cracks expand with temperature changes.
  • Root Intrusion Is Still Active: Roots continue seeking moisture into December.
  • Backup Risks Increase: Holiday usage puts extra strain on systems.

What Inspections Detect

  • Cracks and corrosion
  • Blockages and buildup
  • Misaligned pipes
  • Early signs of root invasion
