Drain problems are not unusual, but if you encounter repeated issues, they may indicate a significant underlying problem. Professionals can perform comprehensive video camera inspections to determine the cause of your plumbing concerns and provide a lasting solution. Here are four reasons to consider this valuable service.

Why Drain Video Inspections Are Useful

1. Avoid Lawn Damage

It used to be impossible to identify drain problems without digging a trench in the yard to access the sewer line. Advancements in technology have simplified the process—a plumber can insert a slender camera into the sewer line cleanout instead of tearing up the grass.

2. Find the Source

If you’ve used drain cleaning products repeatedly without results, the issue is likely far deeper and more complicated. A plumbing professional can use the camera to locate the source of the problem.

For example, the camera can find a stubborn blockage lodged deep within the lines, giving the plumber an idea of how long it will take to resolve it. It can also detect issues like tree roots in sewer lines and cracks that might be inviting unwelcome pests into the home.

3. Confirm the Repair

Once the repair work is done, you can have peace of mind knowing the job was completed properly. Your plumbing technician can use the camera to reinspect the affected area and confirm that the fix worked. They can also perform any necessary adjustments before leaving your home, allowing you to save time and money on future concerns.

4. Check the Pipes

A video inspection can also tell you a lot about the condition of your pipes. If you live in an older home, the pipes may have aged to the point that they’re corroded or close to failing. Your plumber can then take the appropriate preventative steps to keep your system intact.
