Why Camera Inspections Should Be Done Annually

In addition to being a smart financial investment, annual camera sewer line inspections should be viewed as necessary for ensuring the future health of your home’s drainage system. Modern video equipment now enables the plumber or sewer professional to view the interior of a pipe to determine its condition, even those of small diameter sewer lines and household connection pipes. This allows for detailed trouble shooting of even the smallest drain lines.

Major future problems can be curtailed by video inspection that verifies there are no breaks or defect in the pipe. Potential problems from clogs or leaks due to root infiltrations or corrosion in sewer lines may also be avoided through early detection. Errant roots from trees and vegetation, working into joint segments, can be identified and eradicated by cutter mechanism or inhibited by rooticide, before wrecking havoc with your drainage system.

A video picture, controlled remotely and with illuminating LEDs, is transmitted to a control module where it is permanently recorded. The camera operator analyzes much of the pipeline as it is viewed during the inspection. Important data can be compiled for possible future use as small lasers, able to measure even the pipe diameter, are used to aid in anticipating potential pipe weaknesses. The entire inspection can be saved for future review. Additionally, this stored documentation may prove useful for some insurance reimbursements.

As changes from previous inspections occur, various improvements can be made to your drainage system. Extensive defects and severe damage requiring costly excavation and repair may be avoided. Be proactive; invest in your home drainage system by calling your local sewer professional today, to begin annual camera sewer line inspections.
