One of the most beneficial innovations in plumbing technology over the last few years is video camera sewer inspection… The process utilizes a state-of-the-art camera linked to a cable that can be navigated all the way down the drains and into the sewer system, and it allows the plumber to view the health of the lines in real time.
- If a sewer pipe is cracked, crushed, bellied, clogged or totally dislinked, a video camera inspection supports accurate location of the issue and quicker repairs.
Whether for difficult drainage problems or proactive maintenance of the plumbing system, sewer camera inspections are a worthwhile tool. In the past, inspecting a sewer line required digging trenches and disrupting landscaping. The process created a good deal of work and was extravagant, but a video camera is fed directly into the sewer line to detect problems and stop harm faster. It saves time, inconvenience, harm, mess and labor costs, but no matter how far down the sewer line the concern is located, the plumber is able to pinpoint it. The camera can detect root intrusion, which is one of the most complex plumbing problems. The roots of trees and shrubs are drawn to the moisture gave by drain and sewer lines. The roots grow around the lines and can find their way into the line, creating serious clogs or leaks. The video camera inspection identifies the identifiable spot where roots have entered the line. Over the years, sewer pipes often accumulated grime and debris from soap scum, food particles, congealed cooking grease, hair and more. A video camera inspection is an option to verify the condition of the pipes and determine whether the lines need to be cleaned, repaired or replaced.
