What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

WHAT’S THE DEAL?
Camera inspections can be performed for a few reasons; purchasing/selling a new home, after continuously having to pay to have your drains snaked and you would like to get to the bottom of the issue, before and after hydro-jetting the line.

BUYING/SELLING YOUR HOME
It is always good to know what is lurking in your pipes before you buy a home. This can save you a big headache in the future. Performing a basic camera inspection gives you the option of seeing the integrity of your pipes. To make sure you are not buying a lemon of a home (get it?!) This helps the buyers/sellers determine what they are getting into, You would hate to get into a new home and find that the sewer is broken and can eventually create a headache. You want to invest your money in home improvement, not a plumbing nightmare.

SNAKING YOUR DRAINS CONTINUOUSLY
It is not normal to need a plumber every month. If you notice that you have an issue with the drains backing up frequently we can come out and determine if the sewer had some sort of blockage the snake could not clear. This can also determine if anything is broken. Whether the sewer needs to be pressure washed (aka. hydro-jetted) or a sewer needs to be repaired or replaced, the camera will be able to get a clear view.

BEFORE AND AFTER HYDRO-JETTING
Many times in order to get a good look at your sewer we need to hydro-jet the pipes first because the debris has accumulated and we cannot get a good look at what is causing the issues at the time. What we do is run the sewer camera before to take a look at the sewer and after we hydro-jet the sewer and drain lines to make sure everything is in good standing.

In order to run the camera, it is best to have a clean-out. These are access pipes that are located in the exterior of the home most of the time or garage to help us get the camera, snakes, and hydro-jetting in the drains/sewer.

If you would like to learn more, we are more than happy to go over any questions or concerns that you may have.
