After another particularly hectic day, you are looking forward to a warm bath before bedtime. This retreat has left you feeling relaxed and ready for a peaceful night of slumber.
Then, you notice it’s taking forever for the water to drain from the tub, and this reminds you of how long the kitchen sink took to drain after cleaning up following dinner. And, come to think of it, the water was an unusual color. What’s going on?
When chatting with your neighbor the next day, you mention these observations. And, he asked if you had recent spikes in your water bill. Yes, you have noticed an increase the past couple months. He suggests checking your sewer drainage pipes, especially if you have seen other telltale signs such as depressions in your lawn or overly lush spots around your landscape.
Well, your curiosity is piqued enough to spend time researching the possible issues causing your slow drains and discolored water, and identify ways you could solve the problem.
Here is something quite interesting you discover: pipeline video inspection – also referred to as a sewer camera inspection.
Pipeline video inspection allows for a visual check of sewer lines and other drain pipes. Such a scan can also provide a glimpse of pipes behind walls, encased in concrete slabs, and beneath your home’s foundation.
As it relates to your sewer line, a highly-knowledgeable plumbing professional uses a non-invasive process implementing a sophisticated camera with high-resolution imaging and waterproof protection.
The camera is attached to a flexible rod for complete mobility and maneuverability, and allows the technician to look inside the entire length of the line – checking for backed up objects, dirt, structural defects, tree root intrusions, and a host of other possible issues.
This results in a thorough and precise analysis in real time, and issues can be correctly identified and promptly addressed.
Without a video inspection, your family could be living with the silent threat of a broken sewer line, especially since you’re noticing symptoms.
A damaged line may fail to contain sewage properly, leading to leaks and exposing your family to harmful pathogens and foul odors. If your sewer drainage pipes become damaged in any way, your home’s entire plumbing infrastructure could become compromised, leading to disastrous results if not immediately handled.
Another major advantage to video inspections is the convenience they offer busy homeowners. They save time and money by offering a designated location for plumbers to address sewer line issues without extensive excavation. Rather than digging up the entire length of a pipe to find and fix the problem, these special cameras pinpoint damage or blockages in places undetected by traditional methods.
You may want to include a video inspection of the plumbing when in the process of purchasing a home. A sewer line camera examination can be a critical step in the home inspection process. It provides valuable insights into the condition of the home’s sewer system which will affect the overall value and livability of the property. You will be grateful for this information and thankful for your diligence.
Video inspections are a good idea. They give peace of mind to you, the homeowner. You can trust the process and your plumber to provide comprehensive, interactive reporting to help you plan repairs, maintain your system integrity, and mitigate risk to your home.
