Have you ever been in a situation where you smell a nasty sewer gas odor? Or maybe you notice your feet are under water while you are taking a shower.
Or even worse than that, your toilet water hits the floor when you flush! These are all problems that are directly related to a dtysfunctioning sewer system, yet it is totally invisible under fixtures, flooring, walls, pipes, and even our outside earth.
So, you are aware of the problem, but now what? You, as the homeowner, may be able to narrow down where it’s coming from, but definitely don’t know what the underlying problem is or how to fix it. This is where you need to be able to see what lies underneath the surface. You need a sewer line inspection camera!
What is a sewer line inspection camera? It is a specially built waterproof video camera that snakes through pipes to clear a viewable inspection of sewer lines and other difficult to reach pipes. Video pipe inspections take the guessing game out of issues lurking inside of pipes. Did you know? The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 12-percent of homes in our country have water leaks that waste 90-gallons or more each day. That adds up to roughly 45 cents a day you are paying out of pocket.
Drainage or Stoppage Issues- In most cases, the camera will be able to see what the cause of the problem is. Often in situations like these, we find stoppages, blockages, roots, mud, broken pipe, etc.
Sewer System Connections- With the camera, we can see fittings, pipe tees, and other types of connection. We can also use it at the links to run water. We’re able to see where the water flows to or from and comes from one line to another.
Locate Lines- Sewer cameras have location devices that send out a signal. Using a particular signal receiver above ground, our plumbers pinpoint where the camera is underground.
If you are having a plumbing situation that warrants more information, please consider using a professional that has access to a camera and can further use that information to educate you with a plan to solve your plumbing problem.
