How Does a Video Camera Inspection Work in Plumbing?

If your residential plumbing system experiences slow water flow or clogged drains, consider a video camera inspection from B&D Plumbing. This non-invasive technology enables our plumbers to diagnose and solve problems without tearing apart floors or walls. This article provides an insight into how our video camera inspections work and why they’re crucial for your home.

What is a Video Camera Inspection?

A video camera inspection involves inserting a flexible rod with a high-resolution camera into your plumbing pipes to identify any cracks, blockages, or other issues. Our master plumbers can view and record real-time footage of the inside of your pipes through the camera. Based on what they see, our plumbing technicians make informed decisions about repairs.

The Significance of Video Camera Inspections

Video camera inspections are vital for many reasons:

  • Our clients save time and money in the long run, without the guesswork that comes with our plumbing diagnoses.
  • Video camera inspections can identify problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as corrosion or the intrusion of tree roots.
  • Your property doesn’t have to be torn apart to locate and repair the problem through our noninvasive video inspections.

When Does Your Plumbing System Need a Video Camera Inspection?

Signs you may need a video camera inspection from B&D Plumbing include:

  • A slow water flow
  • Foul odors
  • Frequent drain clogs
  • Constant faucet leaks
  • Toilet flappers are not sealed correctly
  • The patio drains are full of leaves

When the plumbing technicians at B&D Plumbing complete video sewer inspections, they provide customers with copies of the videos via Google Drive for their records.

The Preparation Process for a Video Camera Inspection

Preparing for a video camera inspection includes:

  • Ensuring that all drains are clear and accessible for our plumbers and that there is no lingering water in the pipes.
  • Remove any obstacles that might hinder the plumber’s access to your pipes.
  • Understand the scope of the inspection and what repairs may be required.
