Camera Inspections of Plumbing Lines and its Advantages

What is a sewer line inspection camera? It is a specially built waterproof video camera snakes; they are routed through pipes to clear a viewable inspection of sewer lines and other difficult to reach pipes. Video pipe inspections take the guessing game out of issues lurking inside pipes. Did you know? The Environmental Protection Agency estimate that 12-percent of homes in our country have water leaks that waste 90-gallons or more each day. That adds up to roughly 45 cents a day you are paying out of pocket. 

Most sewer problems are invisible, and you may need to be self-aware to know you have a plumbing issue. Are you smelling a nasty sewer gas odor? Or, are your feet underwater when taking a shower? Or worse, your toilet water hits the floor when you flush?  The smell of sewage can direct you to the right drain line but not the underlying problem. You, the homeowner, need to know what a sewer camera inspection can find during an inspection. 

Drainage or Stoppage Issues- The camera will be able to see what is causing your system to not work correctly, in most cases. Often in situations like these, we find stoppages, blockages, roots, mud, broken pipe, etc.

Sewer System Connections- With the camera, we can see fittings, tee's, and other types of connection. We can also use it at the links to run water. We're able to see where the water flows to or from and comes from one line to another.

Locate Lines- Sewer cameras have location devices that send out a signal. Using a particular signal receiver above ground, our plumbers pinpoint where the camera is underground.
