I'm looking at buying a mobile home park that has severe water infiltration into the sewer lines. The owner built additional spaces in a low level wetland area. The owner put in PVC but it was installed incorrectly. The wetland area sits about 5-8 feet below the original park. The lower area section flooded causing tenants to move out. The owner built traps to divert natural underground water, but we're not confident in that as a long term fix. We're unable to shut down this section as some residents either opted to stay or new tenants moved in.

We would like to make repairs to the sewer lines where the water is infiltrating.

How do you detect where the infiltration is coming into the lines?

sewer camera..

Thank you for your help. Will running a camera in the lines be able to show specific areas where the water is actually infiltrating? Since we're not in the rainy season I was concerned I wouldn't be able to pinpoint specific problem areas. Thank you again for your assistance.

take a look at a few videos. they are pretty clear but if there is no water coming in, i don't know how successful you will be .

I think a broken pipe, separated fitting or an open cleanout would be obvious. I would start with a camera .

I'll get a camera in there and see what's going on to start. Will also google it and look at some video so I know I'm looking for.
Thanks again.

OK, thanks. I'll get a camera in there to start. I appreciate your help it makes sense.
