Sometimes you can tell right away when your septic system is having problems, but it’s not always easy to determine the cause. That’s when a septic tank contractor may recommend a camera inspection to find the issue. Here are four reasons why a camera inspection would be beneficial for you and your septic tank.

Why You Should Invest in a Camera Inspection for Your Septic System

1. Come Up With a Solution

Using a cable with a specialized camera at the end allows your septic tank contractor to inspect your sewer pipes. The camera can uncover hidden issues like clogs, broken or collapsed pipes, corrosion, and tree root infiltration. Your contractor can then analyze the severity of the issue and take the necessary steps to either unclog the pipe or replace it.

2. Save Time & Money

When your contractor uses a camera, he doesn’t need to dig up the ground around your pipes to find the problem. You’ll save money and time, plus you won’t need to worry about heavy equipment on your property or landscape repairs when they’re finished. 

3. Know What You’re Getting Into

When buying a house, you can hire a septic tank contractor to check the pipes with a camera for any developing issues. Even if nothing is found, you will have peace of mind that you’re investing in a home with a working septic system. On the other hand, if your inspector does find a problem, you can move on to other options or use it to negotiate the property’s price.
