SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION
Sewer camera inspections take the guesswork out of assessing the condition of sewer lines and other lines beneath the ground. This includes under your home’s foundation. In fact, video cameras have become one of the most valuable tools in the plumbing industry.
A professionally trained technician inserts a high-resolution video camera that is on the tip of a rod into the sewer lines and pipes. The rods are flexible which allow the camera to snake around and videotape pipes 2-inches to 36-inches in diameter.
Specially designed waterproof cameras allow your St. Cloud Roto-Rooter Plumbers to make a visual inspection of underground pipes in real time. This allows the condition of your pipes to be assessed immediately on a monitor which you can see, and the footage is saved for future reference if needed.
During the sewer camera inspection, radio transmitters record depth and physical location of any defects and obstructions it encounters. This data allows your plumber to accurately diagnose any problems (and offer solutions), in addition to the visual evidence transmitted by the video.
DAMAGED PIPES
Sewer camera inspections can identify problems such as damaged pipes, collapsed pipes, cracks and broken seals. Due to shifts in soil, drain lines can be offset and cause misalignment around joints that can break seals between pipes. Sewer lines may also collapse on themselves.
CLOGGED OR OBSTRUCTED SEWER LINES
Sewer camera inspection can identify clogs and obstructions in lines that may have been caused by foreign objects that shouldn’t have been flushed, tree roots, grease buildup and more.
NATURAL WEAR AND TEAR
A sewer camera inspection can identify the type of pipes your old home or business have installed. This information helps you determine the best solution for your broken or clogged pipes.
If you are experiencing repeated problems with sewer lines or other pipes in your home or business, it is strongly suggested to schedule such service. Another reason to employ a sewer camera inspection is if you are purchasing a new home or business, since a sewer inspection isn’t typically part of a standard home inspection.
