When you’re having trouble with your sewage lines, the problem isn’t always obvious. The problem could be a clog that can be easily removed with a snake, or it could be a cracked pipe leaking wastewater into your home’s foundation. Instead of guessing and spending the time and effort to troubleshoot, many plumbers perform sewer camera inspections.
The video shows what’s causing the issue and where the issue is located. This helps homeowners save money because of the reduced labor hours involved in the repair.
The knowledgeable technicians here at Rudd Plumbing Heating and Air regularly use camera inspections to solve plumbing issues for our clients throughout Charleston, SC.
Comprehensive Camera Inspections in Charleston
During plumbing camera inspections, a small camera with a flexible cord gets inserted into a drainage system, usually at a cleanout. While the video feed is rarely super high definition, it’s more than sufficient to identify issues such as tree roots blocking drains or collapsed sewage lines.
Before sewer camera inspections, plumbers often performed unnecessary demolition to identify the cause of a drainage issue. They may have dug unsightly trenches into a landscaped yard or had to jackhammer through a tiled floor just to confirm a hunch.
Plumbing camera inspections offer several benefits, including:
Prevent unnecessary demolition and cleanup
Get documentation for insurance claims
Locate hidden leaks
Assurance before buying a home
Using camera inspections to identify drainage issues saves time and money. While sewer camera inspections aren’t free, they’re a lot more affordable than paying a plumber to troubleshoot every possible cause of a drainage issue.
Since many homeowner’s policies exclude coverage for repairs to plumbing, a camera inspection can be critical if there’s ever doubt about a covered cause of loss. If drainage pipes do get damaged by a covered cause of loss, but it happened before your policy began, insurance won’t cover it. That’s why it’s especially important for new homebuyers to perform thorough inspections of a home’s plumbing before finalizing the paperwork.
