What plumbing problems do camera line inspections solve?

More and more plumbing companies are choosing to use camera line inspections. The purpose of using a camera line inspection is to check the inside of a pipe. It involves inserting a flexible cable that has a camera on the tip into a pipe. The camera is waterproof and records the findings.

Video cameras can be used to pinpoint pipe obstructions and damage. Pipe obstructions often inhibit flow, and cause repeated backups. It is hard for plumbers to detect the condition of a pipe without a video camera.

There are several other problems that a camera line inspection can detect. Some of those problems include cracked or collapsed pipes, blockage, leaking joints, corrosion, and root infiltration. A plumber can very easily access areas that are hard to reach thanks to camera line inspections.

What are the advantages of this service?

Leaks are one of the problems that are often detected during a camera line inspection. A leak can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water per year. This can cause you to spend significantly more on your water bill. Not only are leaks very costly, but they can cause serious damage to your home's structure. Even if the leak is very small, it can cause you to spend thousands of dollars on repairs. A camera line inspection helps homeowners save money.

A visual inspection allows plumbers to see exactly where the leak is coming from so that they can fix it. We can also tell what causes the leak. Invasive tree roots, pipes, blockages and collapsed pipes are examples of some of the problems that can cause leaks.

A camera line inspection is also very effective and fast. They are the ideal choice for retrieving something that has slipped down a drain, such as a piece of jewelry. Plumbers will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the lost item.

Camera line inspections may be used during home inspections. Potential home buyers want to know that the plumbing inside of the home is in good condition. They do not want to end up spending money on costly plumbing repairs later down the road. Because a camera line inspection allows us to get a good view of the pipes, people will be able to rest assured that the pipes are in good condition.

Furthermore, a camera line inspection helps us see what type of repair is needed. Some problems require a simple repair while others are more complicated. A camera line inspection is a non-invasive way to pinpoint plumbing problems. Fast, effective service is needed during a plumbing emergency.

Sewer line locator

The final piece of the puzzle that allows for spot sewer repairs to be effectively performed is the sewer sonde. Even properly utilizing all of the above sewer tools leaves the great possibility of not being able to easily locate an underground sewer line. While a sewer cleaning machine can indicate a problem, and a camera can verify it, only a sewer sonde can definitively locate the underground pipe. The above two sewer tools coupled with a sewer sonde allow for precisely locating and repairing a sewer pipe.

While a sewer sonde is costly, just one use can save a property owner sewer repair costs that exceed the purchase price of the sonde itself. A sewer sonde is a highly sensitive device that requires patience and skill to properly operate. If used improperly a sewer contractor can still be prone to incorrectly excavate in the wrong location.
