Until I had problems with drainage, I wasn’t aware of video camera sewer inspection.
I worried that the plumber would need to dig up my entire yard, disrupt gardens and create a huge mess for me to clean up.
Instead, he utilized advanced plumbing technology to accurately locate the problem. The process works by way of a high-tech camera attached to a cable that is fed down into the drains and sewer system. The camera provides real-time video and provides the plumber with an image of the inside of the lines. If a pipe is cracked, crushed, clogged, bellied or disconnected, a camera inspection exposes the issue. In the past, checking out a sewer line involved digging trenches. Now, instead of a labor-intensive and costly excavation process, the plumber is able to quickly and accurately find issues, no matter how far down the sewer line they might be. The process revealed that my swerve lines were suffering from root intrusion. The roots were attracted to the moisture of the lines and worked their way inside, causing a severe clog. Using video camera inspection, the plumber pinpointed the specific spot where the roots forced their way inside. Plus, the inspection brought attention to other concerns such as an accumulation of grime within the pipes. The professional service worked to prevent a sewer water back up into the home that could have led to major property damage and serious health hazards. The plumber used hydro jetting to clear the lines effectively. Our drains are running faster than they ever have before.
