When the sewer system malfunctions at your home or investment property, it can certainly be one of the most unpleasant experiences that you will ever deal with as a property owner. In the good old days it was next to impossible to discover when problems were brewing until they actually happened. When sewer related disasters strike, it is typically in the form of raw sewage backing up into the property through the plumbing fixtures, or leaking directly into the ground. Both situations pose severe health hazards to people and pets alike. It certainly is not a circumstance that you want to find yourself in from a health and wellness standpoint. Not to mention the fact that when all is said and done, the property owner is responsible from a financial standpoint.
The good news is that the technology of today has made it possible to discover the potentially devastating break down of your sewer system prior to it actually occurring. Sewer camera inspection from your trusted plumber in Birmingham, AL, has helped a vast amount of property owners in the area to avoid the expense, health risks, and inconvenience of sewer system breakdowns. In a best-case scenario, this non-invasive procedure will provide you with that much-needed peace of mind. For those of you that actually have undiscovered sewer related issues, it is a small investment that will end up saving you a ton of money and stress in the long run.
At Cole Plumbing, our sewer camera inspection services, involve our team of experts examining the interior of a sewer line using a small high-resolution camera. This makes it easier to diagnose issues that are coming from within the sewer line.
What Are the Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspection Services?
There are many benefits that come with a pipe camera inspection. One such benefit includes being able to detect a leak more efficiently. Leaks can happen just about anywhere, but finding the main source isn’t always simple.
Another benefit of a thorough drain inspection is having the opportunity to make the repair process much easier. It also becomes easier to assess the integrity of the pipes. Pipes usually start to degrade from within but closer inspection can catch it early.
When a top-notch plumbing contractor is able to discover potential problems through the use of a video camera system, it is far more likely that they will be able to make minor repairs prior to them becoming major issues. This is certainly a far better situation for the property owner than having to invest in major system overhauls. It is important for you to understand exactly how the sewer camera inspection in Birmingham, AL, works in order to get the most for your money. We will insert a tiny, waterproof video camera that is attached to the end of a long and flexible rod into the sewer line. The camera is then snaked through the entire length of the pipe. It is flexible enough to fit around any bends, corners, and turns within the pipe.
Common Issues We Check
The video camera is able to discover exactly what is going on inside the sewer line. If there are any blocks, clogs, or defects to the pipe the camera will see it immediately. The images are projected back to the technician in real-time and can be viewed on their laptop computer, tablet, or smartphone. At this point the video technician will analyze the images in order to determine if the sewer pipes are healthy. If they are not, the plumbing contractor will form a plan of action to fix the problem in the most cost-effective and time-saving manner as possible. The images may also be recorded, thereby providing both the plumbing contractor and property owner with a documented history that can be compared to future inspections. Some of the most common issues we check during a sewer video inspectio, include:
- Clogged pipes
- Leaky pipes
- Pipe degradation
- Decreased water pressure
