How Does a Drain Camera Inspection Work?
Our technicians will be able to accurately identify what is wrong with your drain pipe and exactly where. The camera is held and controlled by a long cable upwards of 330 feet in length and lowered into the drain to visually identify the obstruction. Unlike traditional plumbing techniques that require technicians to rip up your home and property to isolate a problem, a drain camera inspection is unobtrusive and more accurate. Whereas the traditional plumber can cause undue harm by failing to locate the source of the issue and have to do more damage looking for it again, this modern technique does not carry the same potential consequences. Check this sewer camera inspection video out and see how the drain camera inspection is going to be done by your plumber.
After the problem is isolated our professional team will then decide the most efficient solution to it. In some cases, we will be able to send a rooter (or sewer snake) into the drain. The sewer snake functions similarly to the camera, except it is designed to break up the clog and end your drain problems. On the whole, our technicians will minimize your inconvenience and solve your problem as fast as possible with surgical precision.
Why Is Drain Camera Inspection Important?
There are several reasons why sewer lines tend to clog. Here are a few examples:
Plant Intrusion through pipelines:
PVC piping isn’t imminent to root intrusions. Plants tend to grow quickly and try to seek out a smart water and food source that water pipelines offer. In vegetation areas, root intrusions are very common. Thus, it’s best to replace your PVC pipeline with a replacement solid iron pipeline which typically comes in very 10ft. sections. This prevents plants from growing their roots into the pipeline and sewer systems, eliminating the prospect of clogging.
Poor Installation, Different pipe size:
Inexperienced plumbers try to form a buck and save a buck when putting in and connecting pipelines together. At times, we have a tendency to encounter situations in which one larger pipeline turns lip onto a smaller pipeline that creates clogs over time. Anything can catch onto the lower lip and over time will cause water pipe harm. Camera inspections help our plumbers see if the whole sewer lines are connected properly, using the correct pipelines and sizing.
Large Objects:
Debris and paper towels are the most common clogging issues. Water may appear to run down through the pipelines however that does not perpetually mean that the pipelines are away from objects. Over time the clog becomes more and additional imminent. Running down more water will not facilitate unclear large objects once they get foiled along with other objects that get down the drain and pipeline.
However, the thought of having a drain camera inspection done is frequently overlooked by homebuyers, especially if it’s a relatively new house. It is a highly recommended action plan that comes with many benefits:
- Exposing existent dampness issues and pinpointing the root of a problem
- Detecting water leaks that affect water pressure and the overall performance of your plumbing system
- Saving money on expensive repairs that might be necessary for the future
- Decreasing your water bill by putting an end to wasted water
- A thorough check on your basement’s waterproofing to predict and avoid potential damage
