Problems We Commonly Find With Our Sewer & Drain Camer Inspections:
Blockages: These can be caused by a buildup of grease, soap, hair, baby wipes, garbage, dirt, debris, sand, or other debris in the pipes. In severe cases, these can cause the pipe to be completely blocked.
Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots are attracted to the water in the sewer lines and can infiltrate the pipes, leading to blockages and damage. As the tree roots infiltrate the line they often allow sand, dirt, mud, and debris to infiltrate the line as well. Everything gets clogged in the root mass, resulting in a very clogged pipe.
Cracks or Breaks in the Pipe: These can be caused by various factors, such as ground movement, construction, aging pipes, or tree root intrusion.
Corrosion: Over time, cast iron pipes can corrode and deteriorate, which can lead to leaks or complete pipe failure.
Bellied or Sagging Pipes: This happens when a section of the pipe slopes downwards, creating a 'valley' or 'belly' that can collect debris and waste, leading to repeated blockages.
Off-Grade Pipe: This refers to pipes that are made from substandard materials, or have deteriorated to the point of not meeting code requirements.
Leaks: These can be caused by cracks, breaks, or loose joints in the pipe from a number of different factors.
Improperly Installed Pipes: If pipes were not installed properly, such as being sloped incorrectly or not being connected at junctions properly, this can lead to recurring issues.
How Does The Drain Camera Inspection Work?
When you call us with a sewer or drain issue that needs a camera inspection to solve, we'll quickly dispatch a member of our team to your home or business. When we arrive we'll ask you to show us the affected area (if it's obvious).
We'll need to know the locations of any drains, clean-outs, or bathrooms so we can decide on the best point of entry for our camera. Generally we want the camera to go directly in the drain or clean-out that is closest to the problem area. If you don't know, that's OK too, we're professionals and can figure it out!
If you're having a problem with your drain or sewer system our experienced technicians will be able to identify the problem in your pipes using our state-of-the-art drain camera system. You can watch on the live feed from the camera as we discover the problem in your drain pipes and we'll be able to explain the problem to you. The video feed is extremely helpful when making the decisions as to which repair method will be most appropriate.
How To Prepare Your Home Or Building For A Sewer Camera Inspection
Preparing your home or building for a sewer camera or drain inspection can streamline the process and facilitate a more accurate inspection. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the locations of the drain cleanouts in your home. These are typically located in basements, crawlspaces, or even outdoors, and allow direct access to the sewer or drain line. Remove any obstructions near these areas to ensure our plumber has easy access.
Similarly, if our plumbing service vehicle needs access to specific areas, such as the driveway or near an outdoor cleanout, ensure these paths are clear. This could involve moving vehicles, outdoor furniture, or other objects that could hinder access.
Inside the home, move furniture or items away from access points such as sinks, toilets, and indoor cleanouts. This will allow the plumber to work efficiently and safely, without the risk of damaging your belongings.
Finally, refrain from heavy water use shortly before the inspection. Excessive water flow can make it harder for the camera to clearly view the inside of the pipes and may obscure potential issues. By limiting water use, you help create the best conditions for a successful and informative sewer camera or drain inspection.
