Video camera inspections are effective at detecting a host of plumbing problems. A common issue is a pipe belly, a sag, or a dip in the pipeline resulting from soil conditions or incorrect installation. These belly formations can result in water pooling and sediment deposits, raising the potential for blockage and corrosion. Detecting such deformities in their infancy allows for corrective measures to be taken prior to any serious damage.
Tree root intrusion is another common finding. Roots naturally hunt for moisture and can get into tiny crevices in pipes, ultimately causing large clogs or even pipe rupture. Video inspections will show the damage and location of root intrusion, making removal and repair specific. The inspection can also reveal signs of corrosion, plumbing leaks, and out-of-alignment pipe joints, all of which can reduce the efficiency and safety of your plumbing system if you don’t fix it.
