What is a Camera Inspection?
Ken’s Sewer Service offers a wide range of drain cleaning services, one of which includes main sewer line camera video inspection documentation. A camera is a very important tool we use that diagnoses the inside of a sewer system properly. Being able to clean a sewer line with blades and cables might only be the first step to cleaning a sewer line. Inspecting a sewer drain line is beneficial for both residential and commercial property owners. We recommend if you're purchasing a new property, have the seller camera inspect their sewer line before you get stuck with major repair costs. If the seller will not pay for a camera inspection, do your due diligence and spend the money to camera the main drain yourself.
A camera inspection is a process used to visually examine the interior of plumbing pipes or sewer lines using a specialized waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable. The camera transmits live video footage to a monitor, allowing technicians to identify issues such as blockages, cracks, corrosion, or leaks without invasive digging. Camera inspections are commonly used to diagnose sewer line problems, locate pipe damage, or assess the overall condition of a plumbing system. This method is efficient, non-destructive, and helps homeowners and plumbers pinpoint exact problem areas for targeted repairs or maintenance.
What are some reasons to inspect a sewer line?
• Over time the ground shifts & settles and may result in low sagging and bellied lines. Which ultimately means sewage will not drain properly.
• Tree roots may have intruded into the joints or cracks in your sewer pipe. Tree roots will grow, catch debris and block up your sewer, which will prevent sewage from flowing properly to the city connection.
• Harmful chemicals that may have been used in sewer lines to remove tree roots may have seriously damaged the sewer pipe.
• In general, sewer pipes that were installed with the age of older homes are nearing the end of their life.
• Normal everyday wear and tear on a sewer pipe eventually breaks down and weakens.
• Having a camera inspection done on a house over 10 years old if you're looking to purchase it is a good idea. Do your due diligence.
Pros to having a sewer line camera inspected?
• A camera inspection provides information on the sewer line whether there is debris, offsets or a broken piece of tile.
• Video inspections will provide an owner of the condition of their sewer line.
• A camera will provide information about the length of the sewer line.
• A camera will show if there are any foreign objects obstructing your sewer line. For example, a gas line or any other utility line that may have punctured through.
Cons to having a sewer line camera inspected?
• Honestly, there are none.
