Video Camera Inspections

Scheduling a camera inspection for your sewer is as well an added advantage and will let you know the state of your sewer right away and help you avoid sewer repairs.

Technology has positively affected almost all industries, including the sewer industry. In the past, property owners were not able to know what was happening below the surface in their sewer lines unless they were dug up and opened. The digital camera has made it possible for sewer technicians to see inside the sewer lines for the purposes of both preventing and identifying sewer problems.

  1. Many home and business owners use video inspections as part of their regular sewer maintenance, keeping ahead of sewer problems that may arise. Having an annual inspection can reveal problems before there are backups and emergency repairs needed on a sewer system. Some common issues that can be found during a video inspection include

  2. • Tree root invasion. It is very common for tree roots to find their way into sewer lines. Not only can these roots clog pipes, but they can also begin to split and crack existing lines. Video inspections can detect these invasions and the property owner can often have their pipes cleared of the roots through hydro jetting before any further damage is done.

  3. • Debris. Collections of debris can be found through video inspections. By doing regular inspections, a partial clog that has formed can be found and cleaned out before it fully blocks the pipe, causing sewer backups and other problems.

  4. • Sewer pipe problems. Whether there are already signs of a problem or a video inspection is being done as a preventive measure, the camera can show any cracks, breaks or offsets that are in the pipes. This allows problems to be diagnosed quickly and reduces the risk of bigger problems down the road.
