Video Drain Inspection

Video Drain Inspection: Is It Worth it?

Do you value your plumbing system?

You may generally not give this question much thought. However, when something goes wrong with your plumbing, the answer is you value it a ton!

You depend on your plumbing system to heat water for your showers, to supply that water and to drain the used wastewater away. Plumbing is what allows you to simply flush your toilet and walk away, as well as to do your laundry without hauling around pails of water. Any problem with your plumbing system is a big problem. If you find that your drains are clogged or that you hear running water without an identifiable source, a professional plumber can help find the root of the problem.

Some consumers complain that companies offering low cost sewer inspections may charge relatively high rates for needed repairs discovered during the video process.

Video Drain Inspection

Before hiring a contractor to just do a video inspection, ask about its fees for standard repairs.

What the video inspection should be include:

Running a video camera through the household sewer pipes; typically from the house to its connection to the public sewer system can be used to evaluate the type and condition of underground pipes, and to identify problems like leaking or broken joints, intruding roots, blockages, corrosion or collapsed pipes.

Homeowners might have a video inspection done to find the cause of periodic sewer backups or other ongoing problems, or when selling or buying an older house.

A camera on the end of a long cable is fed through the sewer line and sends back images that can be viewed on a monitor and may be recorded for later viewing. A stream of water from the house may be run through the pipes during the inspection to make it easier to move the camera and to provide a visual reference. Video Drain Inspection

Video drain inspection is not typically included in a standard home inspection, and are usually ordered separately, if needed. Many experts recommend doing a video sewer inspection on a house built more than 25 years ago.

Prior to 1984, many homes were constructed with clay sewer pipes, which are easily broken or crushed. A video sewer inspection may also be helpful if water is backing up inside the house or crawlspace, if there are large trees in the yard near the sewer or if the ground has moved or settled near the sewer line.

With our modern equipment, the interior of your pipes can be inspected without damaging your plumbing system. Pipes are made of more than hard plastic, and the connections are the most vulnerable areas. Which is why the proper equipment is needed to inspect your pipes.

Roots from trees and vegetation can grow into your joints or connections and force their way in, causing a larger opening. Once they infiltrate, they tend to form a root ball that will cut off or greatly slow down the water flow.

This can happen in your fresh water or wastewater plumbing system and is only one possible cause of slow moving water or clogs.

With the Reliable Contractor Services video inspection and location service, the problem will be found quickly so our repair technicians can deal with the issues.
