What Are The Benefits Of Using A Plumbing Camera?
Video inspection is becoming an increasingly important practice in professional plumbing service. Essentially, video inspection consists of a digital plumbing camera attached to a push rod that is inserted into your pipes to allow for a clear visual inspection deep inside. These inspections can also be recorded. A plumbing camera is essential in accurately finding the root of a problem.
What Is A Plumbing Camera Used For?
- Checking/diagnosing the specific cause of a clog or damage
- Finding exact location of clog or damage
- Verifying that blockage has been removed
- Determining types of pipes used in home
- Inspection of condition of pipes (especially older ones)
- Proactive deep inspection of pipes to diagnose minor issues before they turn larger
- Finding cracked pipes
What Are The Benefits Of Using A Plumbing Camera During Inspection Or Plumbing Service?
- Accurate Diagnosis – Being able to see a real-time feed of deep within your home’s pipes is the most accurate way to diagnose and treat the actual source of an issue.
- Eliminates Unnecessary Digging – Major digging to find the source of an issue can be scary. With a plumbing camera inspection, you can avoid extensive and unnecessary excavation of your yard to find the source of damage.
- Quick – Since camera’ing is a no-dig solution, it allows us to pinpoint the exact place of damage/clog on the first try, this solution is less time consuming. Meaning, less time spent on finding the issues, and more time spend on the repair/replacement.
- Determine Condition Of Pipes – Without the use of a plumbing camera technology system, it’s hard to 100% accurately determine the condition of your pipes. A plumbing camera inspection is particularly important when purchasing a new home to evaluate the condition of older pipes.
- Stored Footage – The footage captured during a plumbing camera service can be recorded. This is a great resource to have for insurance purposes and to keep on file to later reference.
