Commercial Sewer Repair Expert Mark Meads Shares Why Sewer Inspections Matter in Older Homes in HelloNation

What risks are hidden beneath older homes in Greater Boston, and how can homeowners avoid expensive surprises?

REVERE, MA, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What risks are hidden beneath older homes in Greater Boston, and how can homeowners avoid expensive surprises? This is the focus of an article featuring Mark Meads of Rapid Flow Sewer & Drain Cleaning, published in HelloNation, which explains how early detection through sewer line inspection can help protect historic properties from major plumbing failures.

Many homes in the Boston area are over a century old, with sewer systems made from outdated materials like clay and cast iron. These pipes are susceptible to corrosion, shifting soil, and root intrusion. Meads outlines how sewer line inspection cameras allow technicians to diagnose issues such as cracks, joint separations, or debris buildup—before they trigger backups or require emergency excavation. By spotting early signs of damage, homeowners gain a chance to resolve problems without major surface disruption.

The article also highlights trenchless pipe lining as a modern alternative to traditional sewer replacement. After using high-pressure water jetting to clean the pipe, technicians install a resin-impregnated fiberglass liner that hardens into a smooth, durable wall inside the existing line. Known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), this trenchless method eliminates the need for digging up lawns or driveways, making it especially useful in tight urban lots or historically preserved areas.

Older homes in Greater Boston face ongoing pressure from aging sewer infrastructure. Regular inspections paired with trenchless solutions offer a practical way to maintain plumbing performance while preserving mature landscaping and property character. Meads emphasizes that while inspections aren’t always required during home sales or renovations, many buyers and owners choose to act proactively to avoid future damage and protect their investment.

The article, titled Why Sewer Inspections Matter in Older Homes, provides a clear explanation of how no-dig sewer repair and inspection can help extend the life of aging systems across the region.
