When your sewer isn't draining properly, it can be a major headache. Although it might be easy to assume that the problem is a simple clogged drain, it could be any number of different problems ranging from small leaks to majorly damaged pipes. For many years, it was difficult to discern exactly what problem might be plaguing a private sewer. Fortunately, modern technology has increased to the point where we can send a sewer video camera (AKA: the sewer scope) down to discover what's wrong.
A plumbing inspection camera is a fiber optic line with a high definition video camera attached that can be snaked through a plumbing line to provide a clear picture of what is going on within. This sewer camera can show broken pipes, corrosion, clogs, and other major issues. By employing video pipe inspections, home owners can avoid costly repairs and get right down to solving the problem.
In the past, plumbers would have to do extensive work to discover the problems behind sewer malfunction. This often included excavation of the pipe line, damaging pipe the yards and requiring multiple days worth of work. By using a plumbing camera, it is possible to avoid this step. Although it is occasionally still necessary to replace pipes, using sewer pipe inspection can save time and money for everyone involved.
If a sewer scope detects pipe corrosion, it is possible to fix the issue without bringing in heavy machinery. By using certain sealants, it is possible to fix leaky corroding pipes or leaky joints. This is quicker, easier, and less damaging to the surrounding area. This sealant can be sometimes be sent down the same path as the video inspection camera, thereby avoiding any additional access points.
