What We Look For During a Sewer Camera Inspection
Although highly underrated, your home depends on a functional sewer and plumbing system for your comfort and health. If something is amiss, you could be looking at unnecessary repair expenses, an awful stench, or health hazards. Fortunately, you can avoid these problems by scheduling routine sewer inspections. NuFlow St. Louis walks you through the details of what we look for during a sewer camera inspection in St. Louis, MO.
What is a sewer camera inspection?
Your sewer lines lie underneath your home’s foundation. Due to their location, sewer lines aren’t the easiest system to inspect. Typically, your plumber will inspect the pipes using a special sewer video camera that’s linked to a flexible cable. The gadget passes through the main sewer lines into your target lines enabling the plumber to monitor what’s in the pipes without tampering with the plumbing system.
What do sewer camera inspection services offer?
Locating lines
Sewer cameras have attached GPS services that send out signals. Plumbers will hold a special receiver above the ground, helping them pinpoint the camera's position snaking underground along the sewer lines.
Detecting drainage and obstruction issues
If you suspect a fault in your sewer system, the plumber will suggest passing the sewer camera within the sewer system to determine what’s causing the problem. The camera is likely to unveil problems such as tree roots, debris build-up, broken pipes, and stoppages.
Determine sewer system connections
A sewer inspection can help reveal the condition and location of fittings and connections in the sewer system, especially during plumbing repairs and replacements. Your plumber will see where water flows to or from to prevent interfering with clean water when searching through sewer lines. They also prevent unnecessary plumbing repairs from determining the real cause of issues.
