Benefits of Commercial Plumbing Camera Inspections in Norfolk, VA
Video camera inspections offer a number of benefits for Norfolk businesses seeking fast and hassle-free solutions:
- An accurate diagnosis with no guesswork.
- No need to dig trenches or uproot pipes.

Common Problems Found During Camera Inspections
Blockages from fats, oils, and grease (known as “FOGs”) are some of the most common issues identified with video camera inspections, but blockages can also result from flushed hygiene products, hair, coffee grounds, and other non-biodegradable items. Tree roots can also intrude into the pipes, causing cracks and blockages.
Other problems include misaligned or collapsed pipes, as well as structural damage. In all cases, video camera technology will diagnose the issue and point a technician toward the best solution.
When Should Norfolk Businesses Schedule a Plumbing Video Camera Inspection?
Not sure whether or not you need to schedule a video camera inspection? Here are a few signs:
- Frequent blockages: If your drains keep blocking, there’s an issue that needs to be resolved.
- Sewer line backups: A camera will identify the source of the problem and pinpoint its location.
- Foul odors from drains: Bad smells result from blockages, including sludge, grease, and fat. A camera will find the issue.
- Unexplained water bill increases: If your water bill keeps climbing even though your usage hasn’t changed, there may be a leak in the line.
- Preventions: Conducting regular checks will find issues before things spiral, saving you a lot of work and money in the future.
- After repairing a line: A camera inspection will check that the work was successful and the pipes are operating efficiently.
