Professional, Fast, & Reliable Sewer Camera Inspection Services in phoenix and Surrounding Areas
Maintaining sewer lines can be stressful for homeowners who don’t know where to look for solutions. Fact-finding video camera inspections help commercial and residential property owners save time and money.
Sewer camera inspection services are used for identifying the cause of common plumbing issues such as repeated drain and sewer line backups, frequent clogs, slow drains, and high water bills.
With the help of camera inspections, plumbing line issues are easily detected, and plumbing professionals have an easier time solving frequent sewer problems.
Plumbers use a waterproof camera attached to the end of a rod. The plumber snakes it into the pipe to visually inspect lines underground, behind walls, in concrete, or beneath the foundation. The camera sends signals to a monitor so that the technician can analyze the entire line.
Advanced camera models have LED lighting to illuminate the space, making clogs, cracks, and other structural damage identification easy. In addition, the included radio transmitter keeps a record of the depth and location of pipe obstructions.
A sewer camera inspection may be needed in homes that are more than 20 years old and have trees in the front yard or have a record of sewer line issues that keep returning.
Common sewer problems
Pipe Corrosion
Sewer line pipes react with wastewater contents during water transportation, and too much corrosion speeds up the wear and tear of the line and can result in holes or damage. Should pipe corrosion occur, homeowners are advised to use camera inspections to detect the damaged areas to avoid leaks.
Blockages
Homeowners often block sewer line pipes by flushing items that can’t make it into the main sewers. The list includes diapers, tampons, wipes, and other items that aren’t organic or flushable. Generally, it’s best to flush toilet paper and human waste and use the trash can for disposing of any other type of material, especially not organic material. Homeowners who notice water backing up, slower drains, or gurgling sounds inside the pipes may be dealing with pipe blockage.
Pipe shifting and breakage
Trees aren’t the only element that can break the sewer pipes. With time, pipes can shift and break under pressure. There are many reasons this may happen. The property foundation can shift after an excessive rainfall or due to excess weight or the sewer line can slowly change shape until it moves to its breaking point.
Tree root intrusion
Tree roots naturally look for moist areas. Yard trees near the sewer can intrude the sewer line pipes and start wrapping the roots around them. Over time, this can lead to a collapse of the pipes, especially if they already have cracks. It’s important to know where the plumbing system is located before planting trees in the yard. But if there are suspicions that a tree intrusion has occurred, a camera inspection can verify that.
Sewage Smell
A sewage smell is often no more than a nuisance. However, if the smell worsens, it can affect indoor air quality and comfort. Sometimes tightening or adding drain caps will resolve the matter. However, if the DIY solution doesn’t work, professional plumbers can inspect the issue with a video camera.
How Sewer Camera Inspection Can Help
Sewer camera inspection works by sending a tiny camera into the main sewer line and looking for blockages or other problems like cracks, tree roots, or clogs. The camera slowly moves through the pipes and records and documents everything along the way.
