Because drains and pipes are hidden underneath your home or business, they are easy to forget. However, drains and pipes eventually clog and over time are likely to deteriorate. In these cases, the concept out of sight, out of mind, can cause serious issues. You’re in luck – you no longer have to wait until something expensive breaks and causes expensive damage to your investment.
Video camera inspections of pipes, drain and sewer lines and septic tanks are preventative maintenance steps that can save you money and grief. Technology has improved so much that your plumber can use high tech video cameras to take images of the inside of drains, pipes and sewer lines to identify not only debris and dirt that requires cleaning, but fractured pipes, collapsed drains and tree roots just waiting to cause future damage.
For business owners, downtime caused by water or sewage damage can interrupt service and negatively impact profits. Leveraging regular camera inspections can pinpoint problem areas and help you prevent these potential financial catastrophes.
For home owners (and new home buyers), the financial loss and emotional strain caused by water or sewage damage to home and property can be devastating. Making video camera inspections of your plumbing a part of your regular home maintenance can prevent heartache.
You can expect 3 basic steps in a video camera inspection of your drain lines, sewer lines, and septic system. First, the plumbing contractor will find an access point to insert the camera. Second, he or she will view and identify trouble areas inch by inch along the path of the camera as it is pulled or pushed through the line. Last, your plumber will provide a report including video footage that details the condition of your drain lines and sewer lines.
