Why You Might Need a Drain Camera Inspection
Without specialized equipment, diagnosing sewer and drain problems often involves unnecessary guesswork. A drain camera inspection provides a clear view inside your plumbing system, allowing our plumbers to accurately locate the source of the problem before recommending repairs.
Video inspections can identify cracked pipes, loose joints, corrosion, tree root intrusion, mineral buildup, collapsed sewer lines, and hidden blockages. Because the camera travels throughout the drain line, we can often locate problems without digging through your yard.
If you’re experiencing slow drains, sewer odors, frequent backups, or unexplained plumbing issues, a camera inspection is often the fastest and most accurate way to determine the cause.
What Happens During a Drain Camera Inspection?
Our plumbers use a high-definition waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that travels through your drain or sewer line while transmitting live video to a monitor.
- We locate an accessible cleanout or entry point. If necessary, we may first clear heavy blockages using professional drain cleaning or hydro jetting to allow the camera to pass safely.
- As the camera moves through the pipe, we inspect for cracks, root intrusion, offsets, corrosion, collapsed sections, and other plumbing issues while documenting the exact location of any problems.
Drain camera inspections are non-invasive, highly accurate, and provide valuable information that helps us recommend the most effective repair solution.
