A sewer camera inspection can detect numerous problems that may be going on within the plumbing system that you can’t identify with tools like an auger or drain cleaning fluids. Some of the issues that a sewer camera can catch include cracks in the pipes, specific areas with blockages, sags in the sewer line, obstructions, and visible pipe damage.
While you can find homeowner-grade cameras, they generally don’t offer the same length, durability, or power as the professional sewer cameras trained plumbers use.
The sewer camera Plumber Near Me uses is high resolution, well-lit, and extends for yards, ensuring our technicians can find the area that needs attention to complete the repair. These services start with a general inspection, including trying to clean the drain line.
If clearing the drain line with a chemical cleaner doesn’t work, they use an auger to force any blockages out of the pipe. An auger physically travels down the pipe to push any blockages out of the sewer line.
When augering doesn’t work, professionals at Plumber Near Me turn to a sewer line camera inspection. During this inspection, the sewer camera scope travels from the start of the sewage trap through the entire line locating any cracks, blockages, or obstructions for clear camera-based evidence.
The sewer camera typically stops once it hits an obstruction alerting the plumber to further inspect that area. Then, this camera can continually push beyond the obstruction or blockage until the end of the sewer line for an extremely thorough inspection.
