If you're having serious work done on your plumbing, you’ll need to know what's going on inside those pipes. Whether you have a major bathroom or kitchen remodeling planned, or you're dealing with a stubborn clog, video sewer inspections get you the information you need to get your pipes flowing smoothly. Read on to find out how this unbeatable service works and why you should call your local drain cleaning service for help.

The Basics

Video Sewer InspectionsA video sewer inspection uses a live camera at the end of a long cable. The line is run down your pipes and into the sewer—sometimes over 300 feet. All along the way, it sends a video feed that you and your plumber can watch, allowing you to find problems and map out your plumbing as necessary.

What You'll See

Good sewer cameras are designed to generate a very clear picture so that you can see what's going on in your pipes. However, due to the motion of feeding the camera down the line, the video is likely to be jerky and unstable. Still, you'll get a pretty good idea of conditions all through the line, right up to any blockage. When a blockage is found, your drain technician will use the camera's transmitter to find the exact location and mark it for repairs or sewer cleaning.

Why Choose a Professional

You might be tempted to get your own drain inspection camera and find the clog yourself. But home-use cameras are usually of lower quality than professional equipment, with a much shorter line that may not reach the blockage. There are also services that allow you to rent a better camera for video sewer inspections. This usually isn't cost effective unless you need the camera for multiple jobs. For the best balance between cost and quality, hiring a company to do the inspection is your best bet.

If you need to know what's happening in your plumbing, a professional video sewer inspection is the way to learn. Call your local drain cleaning service today to arrange a visit and get a peek inside your pipes.
