Plumbing problems can be a major headache, causing inconvenience, property damage, and hefty repair bills. Thankfully, modern technology provides a powerful tool for diagnosing these issues: the plumbing camera inspection. This service involves inserting a small, waterproof camera into your pipes, allowing us to identify a wide range of problems with pinpoint accuracy.
- Clogged Pipes – One of the most common problems we can identify with a plumbing camera inspection is clogged drain pipes. Hair, grease, soap residue, and other debris can slowly build up on pipe walls over time, narrowing the pipe opening and impeding water flow. Using a plumbing camera can help reveal the location of the clog.
- Broken or Cracked Pipes – Underground pipes may settle, shift, or corrode over years of use, causing cracks and breaks. A camera can pinpoint damaged locations and determine if replacement is needed. Cracks allow root intrusions and leakage of waste/sewage.
- Slopes and Sags – Drain pipes must be properly sloped to keep waste flowing. A plumbing camera inspection can identify low spots or sags where waste accumulates and causes blockages and backups. These areas need repair to restore proper drainage slope.
- Leaky Joints – Plumbing camera inspections can detect leaks at pipe joints caused by installation issues, shifting, cracks, tree roots, etc. Identifying leak locations is the first step toward repair and preventing further damage to your plumbing system.
- Rust or Corrosion – Metal pipes, especially cast iron and galvanized steel, become rusty and corroded over time, eventually developing leaks and failures. Inspections help determine pipe condition and remaining useful life.
- Collapsed Pipes – Camera images show whether pipes have collapsed from excessive settling, earthquake damage, water erosion, or other structural failure. Collapsed pipes require immediate repair or replacement.
Quickly recognizing and resolving these issues can help you save both time and money by preventing possible future harm.
