Modern technology makes it possible to quickly and accurately diagnose the condition of sewer pipes without destructive methods. Sewer Camera Inspection is an effective way to inspect pipelines using a specialized plumbing camera. This method can identify clogs, cracks, tree roots and other problems without the need for excavation or demolition.
Beezee Plumbing provides professional drain inspection services in Chicago and the suburbs. We use a sewer camera with locator, which not only detects the problem, but also pinpoints its exact location. Thanks to pipe camera inspection, our experts can quickly assess the condition of the system and offer the right option to fix the problem.
Our services are suitable for both private homeowners and commercial businesses. If you are experiencing clogs, unpleasant odors or slow drainage, a sewer scope inspection can help you identify the problem early and avoid costly repairs.
How Sewer Camera Inspections Work
At the heart of the process of effective pipe diagnosis is the use of a plumbing camera, which transmits a live image to a monitor, allowing the technician to examine the inside of the pipes in detail.
How does a plumbing camera inspection work?
- Specialists insert a flexible cable with a miniature pipe camera at the end. The camera is equipped with a powerful LED light, which allows a clear image even in completely dark pipes.
- The video from the camera is streamed to a monitor, where the plumber analyzes the condition of the pipe. Thanks to the high clarity of the image, you can see the smallest details and identify hidden defects.
- The combination of sewer camera with locator makes it possible not only to see the problem, but also to determine its exact location. This is especially useful for underground faults - no need to dig randomly, which reduces repair costs.
- After the inspection, the specialist provides the client with a detailed report on the condition of the pipeline and recommends possible solutions to the identified problems.
Diagnostics with a sewer camera can help to identify a wide variety of causes that impede drainage.
- Clogs and grease deposits.
- Tree roots penetrating old pipes through cracks and joints.
- Cracks and breaks in pipe walls, that can lead to leaks and ground subsidence.
- Corrosion and deterioration of pipes.
- Pipe misalignment (broken joints).
With a plumbing camera inspection, property owners can proactively identify plumbing problems and take steps to avoid costly repairs.
Benefits of a Plumbing Camera Inspection
The use of plumbing camera inspections offers many advantages over traditional methods of pipeline diagnostics.
- Accurate and detailed diagnostics
- With sewer scope inspection, specialists can see the real condition of the pipeline. High-quality video allows even the smallest cracks, corrosion, blockages and other defects that cannot be detected by external inspection.
- No excavation and no demolition work
- Sewer camera inspection completely eliminates the need for demolition work. The flexible pipe camera can be easily passed through the pipeline, giving a complete picture of its condition without damaging the surrounding infrastructure.
- Avoiding accidents and costly repairs
- Drain inspection services can detect pipe deterioration, small cracks and debris buildup in the early stages before they lead to blockages, ruptures or flooding. This helps avoid emergencies and save money on repairs.
- Saving time and money
- Compared to traditional diagnostic methods, the sewer camera with locator allows you to quickly identify the location of the problem, which significantly reduces the time required for the work. And since there is no need for unnecessary excavation and dismantling, customers save money on remedial work.
- The optimal solution for pre-purchase real estate inspections
- When buying a home or commercial building, it is important to make sure that the plumbing system is in good condition. A plumbing camera inspection can help you identify hidden defects that may require costly repairs in the future and help you make an informed decision before you buy.
The sewer line inspection method is suitable for all types of properties - from private homes to restaurants, office buildings and industrial facilities. Regular sewer line inspections reduce the risk of unexpected problems and help keep your system running smoothly.
When Do You Need a Sewer Line Inspection?
Sewer problems can occur suddenly, but many of them can be detected in advance with a sewer camera inspection. Timely diagnosis can avoid serious damage, accidents and costly repairs. Let's look at the main cases when a plumbing camera inspection is necessary.
- Slow drainage or frequent clogs
- If the water in your sink, shower or toilet is draining slowly, and pipe cleaning is not having a lasting effect. A Sewer scope inspection can help you identify the cause: grease deposits, accumulated debris or foreign objects in the pipes.
- Unpleasant odors from the sewer system
- Sewer odor in the house or on the plot is a sign of possible leaks (accumulation of waste or damaged pipes). Pipe camera inspection allows you to find the exact location of the problem and eliminate it without unnecessary work.
- Preparing to buy a property
- Before buying a home or commercial building, it is important to check the condition of the sewer system. Hidden defects can lead to serious costs in the future. Sewer line inspection will help ensure that the pipes are free of cracks, clogs or corrosion.
- Leaks or frequent basement flooding
- Water in the basement or on the property may indicate damage to the sewer line. A plumbing camera inspection can help determine if there are cracks or breaks where water is seeping through.
- Old sewer pipes
- If your home is more than 20-30 years old, it's worth checking the condition of your pipes. Over time, they can become corroded, cracked and worn. Drain inspection services can help you assess their current condition and take action before serious problems arise.
- Scheduled inspection to prevent accidents
- A regular sewer scope inspection is a preventive measure that helps you to avoid unexpected problems. Timely diagnosis with a plumbing camera can avoid many troubles and save you money on repairs.
If you suspect a sewer scope problem, it is better not to wait for an emergency, but to have a professional inspection done beforehand.
