Keep reading to discover how the inspection process works and how it can benefit your North Carolina home.
How Sewer Camera Inspection Works
A sewer camera inspection, or plumbing camera inspection, is a non-invasive technique that allows our technicians to assess your system and check for issues such as cracks, corrosion, or leaks.
During the inspection, a specialized sewer scope is attached to the tip of a flexible rod and entered into your system. This sewer line camera connects to an HDTV monitor that displays the inside of the pipe for the technician to view. The technician then maneuvers the camera through the pipeline to assess the system and create a sewer inspection video. Then they can accurately assess the damage and recommend the proper repair solution.
This sewer inspection method eliminates the need for digging and reduces the damage to your property. Our technicians often use this technique for difficult-to-reach pipes, such as underground, in concrete, or behind walls, that wouldn’t be accessible without significant damage otherwise.
Signs You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
Identifying sewer issues early on helps avoid further damage and costly repairs. Look for the following signs that indicate it’s time for an inspection:
- Backups or clogged drains: There’s no need to worry if your drain occasionally experiences a minor clog. However, if you constantly find them filling with standing water, contact us for a drain camera inspection, as there is likely a clog within the main sewer line.
- Slow-moving drains: While one clogged pipe causes a slow drain, multiple slow drains throughout your home can indicate a clog in your sewer system.
- Strange noises: If you notice strange sounds coming from your fixtures or pipes, it’s best to get an inspection, as this can be a sign of clogs or trapped air in your system.
- Foul smells: If you smell sewage coming from your drains, it’s important to get an inspection. Unpleasant odors can signal a partial or complete blockage in your system that needs to be assessed as soon as possible.
- Yard flooding: When a blockage or leak occurs in your system, sewer water can leak into your yard. When this happens, you may see pools of standing water or notice foul-smelling wet spots.
- Cracks in your foundation: Leaking sewer lines underneath your home can cause the soil to shift and result in cracks in your foundation and walls. These cracks allow for mold and mildew growth to seep into your home, which can cause serious damage to your health.
