New technology makes it easier than ever to see what’s going on in your underground sewer pipes. Digital camera inspections are the best way to have your sewer pipes inspected, giving you a close up view of exactly what is happening in your sewer lines. This newer technology is used by many professional sewer and plumbing companies to offer you a true view of what is going on beneath the surface of your property.
Benefits Of A Sewer Camera Inspection
There are several reasons to schedule a camera inspection of your sewer pipes, even when everything seems to be functioning correctly in your plumbing and sewer system. Camera inspections can be part of your regular maintenance, to identify issues before they become significant sewer problems. Consider these uses of video obtained through a camera inspection:
- Tree roots. A video inspection can show any tree roots which have begun to grow into your sewer pipes before they cause a clog.
- Deterioration. Older sewer pipes can become cracked or corroded over time. Annual inspections can give you a look underground to see how your pipes are holding up.
- Diagnose problems. The most common use for camera inspections in your sewer lines is to find clogs or leaks in your sewer system. It can also show sludge build up which may be causing slow drainage, requiring cleaning of your sewer pipes.
Most sewer and plumbing companies who use camera inspections will share these with you, so you can see exactly what is happening in your pipes. Consider scheduling a video inspection once a year, especially for older sewer pipe systems that may need to be replaced in the next few years. It can reduce the possibility of emergency sewer repairs and backups down the road.
