When dealing with underground pipes and lines buried behind walls, it is essential that you have a reliable means of detecting broken pipes, clogs, and other types of damage. When you reach out for our clogged drain services, we’ll use our video inspection camera to examine your household drain lines’ interior. This allows our qualified plumber to evaluate your piping’s health and locate the blockage that causes your drain issue. However, your drain lines may not always be an underlying issue, which means we’ll have to look deeper into your sewer pipe.
In this case, the camera will be lowered down the sewer trap, otherwise known as cleanout, situated outside your home. It connects to your home’s sewer lateral and allows our plumbing technician to conduct a sewer camera inspection. While locating the clog, we’ll examine its health condition and measure its level of efficiency. The sewer line clog may be caused by years of buildup that includes sludge, mineral deposits, debris, and other foreign objects. Alternatively, tree root intrusion is the other culprit.
Additional plumbing tools are needed to locate plumbing leaks, as the camera alone won’t do. Leak detection tools include acoustic listening and thermographic imaging devices.
