What is a plumbing camera inspection?
Sometimes identifying the cause of the blockage is not much easier than eliminating it. Since these processes are interconnected, and the pipes are located underground, the cause of the clog should be sought under the floor. If plumbers had to dig up the entire yard, now a quick and effective way to locate the place of breakdown is available – a plumbing camera inspection.
What does this procedure consist of? To carry out a visual examination of sewage lines and other hard-to-reach pipelines, specially constructed waterproof video camera snakes are pushed down a pipeline. The camera is able to move within the pipe and transmit its video feed to an HDTV screen thanks to the bendable rod. Its powerful LED lights can illuminate the line inside, showing the location of any blockage sources and cracks. At the same time, the built-in radio transmitter pinpoints the exact depth at which any pipe issues were detected. A technician may digitally record an examination of an entire pipeline for use in the event of a future emergency. This also applies to pipes located under the subfloor, inside the house’s concrete foundation, walls, or behind a home. Using this device, plumbers can see precisely what’s going on inside the pipes, eliminating any guessing.

When should I get a drain inspection?
Based on our practice, this procedure is hardly a regular task for our plumbers. Anyway, this is a great way to avoid breaking through a floor or digging a lawn when you need to check the condition of pipes. However, we want to highlight situations where a special request for this service is necessary.
You are suffering from old plumbing. Many sewer issues appear gradually and may go undetected for years before finally causing extensive harm. Tiny cracks in a sewage pipe may allow sewage to leak underground for years before anyone notices. In addition, if a well water is used in your house, you may find such issues particularly troublesome. Another common issue that may arise before your home’s drains get blocked is root infiltration. This problem develops into slow drains, bringing a lot of discomfort to homeowners. To solve this problem, applying hydro-jetting and snaking methods, our team will perform a drain inspection to quickly uncover it.
You decided to buy a new house. You may learn more about the condition of the sewage line by having a video inspection before you buy the property. Especially in older neighbourhoods, easements for sewer lateral connections between properties are not always well defined. A video check may reveal this if any other houses share the lateral. When it comes to new houses, things are no better – for instance, ground settlement may become a problem because of the methods used by certain construction workers. To avoid future detection of a sheared sewer line, hire a specialist to perform a CCTV sewer line inspection in London in advance.
You need to find a breaking pipe or determine the type of system. The transmission of a wireless signal from a modern inspection camera to a receiver allows the latter to indicate precisely where the camera is. This ability allows not only detecting old drain pipes or sewer lines but also finding buried pipes.
