Got a Stubborn Plumbing Clog? Why You Might Need a Camera Inspection
  • Opening Intro -

    Video camera sewer inspection is a remarkable tool that allows plumbers to pinpoint clog locations and diagnose the reason accurately.

    With this technology, you and the plumbers can see what's wrong and make informed decisions about how to fix the problems.

-------------------------------------

When you have a stubborn clog in your home’s plumbing, consider a camera inspection for these four reasons.

Detect All the Issues

Inspection cameras are attached to long cables and can inspect the full length of your sewer lines, finding all issues rather than just some of them.

While the clog may be a ball of hair, a collection of grease, or an object put down the drain that shouldn’t have been, you may have other sewer issues. These could include collapsed or broken pipes or roots growing into the lines.

This can be particularly damaging if the roots are not found quick enough. The longer they grow, the worse the problem will become.

It would behoove any homeowner to make sure where their main lines are and where any large trees are planted on your property or a neighbor’s property, possibly.

Just make sure to do this as soon as you can, as it will make a huge difference in the outcome of any potential problems in this area.

Avoid Overspending

Before video camera inspection was available, inspecting your sewer pipes required digging trenches, cutting into concrete, and opening the lines. Labor costs for inspection, repair, and reversing the damage to your house and landscaping could be significant.

Video inspection is an affordable, non-invasive way to see inside your sewer pipes without costly damage to your home.

Now, with a simple camera inspection, you can determine the health and wellness of your plumbing lines coming in and out of your house.

This is a simple process, and it is much more affordable than digging up your entire yard to get to all your buried pipes in your yard. This non-invasive method is popular these days as a cost-saving alternative that many take advantage of.

 

 

Monitor Pipe Health

Camera inspection can detect problems before they become clogs. The camera might find layers of soap scum or cooking grease, food particles that aren’t washing away, rodent or inspect infiltration, or other potential problems.

Using what the camera sees as a guide, your plumbers can help you decide if a section of pipe needs cleaning, repair, or replacement.

You should always look out for the health of your plumbing by not putting foreign or volatile liquids down any of your sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers.

You should also be smart about what you use for cleaning, make sure you try and get something that won’t damage your pipes. Most of the time, looking for more natural cleaning solutions is a safe bet for the health of your pipes.

Most of the time, all natural cleaners contain mild cleaning agents that do not strip or burn through any sort of pipe material, whether it be plastic or metal.

Prevent a Big Mess

Damaged or clogged sewer lines can allow toxic sludge to invade your home or flood your landscaping, causing a mess that can cost thousands to clean up. The mess is a health hazard too.

Video inspection can determine whether sewer line failure is likely, help you prevent it, and allow you to avoid the property damage and the potential illnesses that come with it.

Plumbers Have Solutions

Video inspection is the best way to find out what’s happening with your sewer pipes. The plumbers who perform the inspection can recommend ways to resolve any problems based on what they see.

In most cases, you will have several options. For example, plumbers may use a high-pressure water system called a hydrojet to clean and unclog your sewer safely.

A camera inspection is more affordable than you might think when you consider what it can find and what it prevents. You get an accurate, affordable picture of pipe health and the information you and your plumbers need for fixing the clog correctly.
