What Is a Camera Inspection for Plumbing?
Advanced Technology for Accurate Pipe Inspections
A camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera into your plumbing system to visually inspect the interior of your pipes. This method allows our technicians to view real-time footage of any blockages, leaks, cracks, or damage, without the need for invasive digging or pipe removal. The camera is attached to a flexible rod, which can navigate through the pipes and display a clear view on a monitor, making it easy to diagnose even the most hidden plumbing issues.
Benefits of Camera Inspection Services
Why Choose Camera Inspection for Your Plumbing?
A camera inspection offers several key benefits over traditional methods of diagnosing plumbing problems:
- Non-Invasive: Unlike older methods that require digging or removing walls to inspect pipes, camera inspections allow us to see inside your pipes without disrupting your home or property.
- Accurate Diagnosis: With real-time video footage, our technicians can precisely locate the issue, whether it’s a clog, tree root intrusion, or broken pipe. This accuracy ensures we address the exact problem without guesswork.
- Cost-Effective: By pinpointing the issue quickly and accurately, a camera inspection helps you avoid unnecessary repairs or property damage, saving you time and money.
- Prevents Future Problems: Camera inspections are not only useful for finding existing problems but also for identifying potential issues before they become serious. Early detection of small cracks, corrosion, or buildup can help prevent costly repairs in the future.
Common Issues Detected by Camera Inspections
Find and Fix Hidden Plumbing Problems
A camera inspection is an essential tool for detecting various types of plumbing problems that are otherwise hard to identify. Some common issues that can be found during a camera inspection include:
- Clogs and Blockages: Whether caused by food waste, grease, hair, or foreign objects, camera inspections can locate blockages that are causing slow drainage or backups in your plumbing system.
- Tree Root Intrusions: Tree roots can penetrate underground pipes, causing cracks and blockages. A camera inspection allows us to locate the intrusion and recommend appropriate repairs.
- Pipe Corrosion or Deterioration: Over time, pipes can corrode or deteriorate, leading to leaks or structural weakness. Camera inspections help identify these weak points before they cause major issues.
- Collapsed or Broken Pipes: Camera inspections are particularly useful for finding collapsed or broken pipes, especially in older homes with outdated plumbing systems.
- Improper Installation: If your home has had recent plumbing work, a camera inspection can ensure that pipes were installed correctly and that no issues were missed during construction.
When Should You Schedule a Camera Inspection?
Key Indicators You Need a Plumbing Inspection
There are several situations where a camera inspection can be especially beneficial. Consider scheduling an inspection if you notice any of the following signs:
- Recurring Clogs: If you’re dealing with frequent clogs or backups in your plumbing, a camera inspection can help identify any underlying blockages or structural issues causing the problem.
- Slow Drainage: Persistent slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or toilets can indicate a blockage or pipe damage that requires further investigation.
- Unexplained Leaks: If you’re experiencing unexplained water leaks or high water bills, a camera inspection can locate hidden leaks deep within your plumbing system.
- Home Purchase or Renovation: Before purchasing a new home or embarking on a renovation project, a camera inspection can help ensure the plumbing system is in good condition and free of hidden issues.
- Sewer Line Inspections: If you suspect a problem with your main sewer line, such as tree root intrusion or a broken pipe, a camera inspection can confirm the exact location and severity of the issue.
