Sewer Drain Camera

When you have stubborn drain clogs that live deep within a residential or commercial sewer line, it's important to deal with the source of the issue. Tru Plumbing and Gas performs sewer camera inspections to locate and determine the best way to clear tough or recurring clogs. This high-technology diagnostic procedure is used to approach every drain cleaning job with confidence. Learn about how sewer drain camera inspections from the plumbers at Tru Plumbing and Gas are integral to the drain cleaning process. 

How Sewer Camera Inspections Work

A drain camera inspection sends a high-powered camera down your sewer line so our plumbers can find the root of the clog or other issue and inspect the condition of your sewer line pipes. This process typically takes up to an hour.

Video camera inspections also help determine whether our professional plumbers need to use hydrojetting, which involves blasting high-pressure water down the pipes to cut through severe clogs and clean the pipe walls. Hydrojetting is effective but can be structurally harmful to pipes with cracks or signs of corrosion. 

Signs You Need a Drain Camera Inspection

Signs that you need a drain camera inspection for your sewer line include: 

• Multiple slow drains, which indicates a blockage in the sewer line.
• Foul sewage odors coming from drains.
• Sewage backups. 
• Gurgling sounds from the toilet or drains. 
• Lush green spots and wet patches in the yard, which signals sewer runoff.

What Problems Can a Sewer Camera Detect?

A plumbing camera inspection is mainly used to identify the cause of a stubborn clog or blockage caused by grease, hair buildup, soap scum, or all of the above. 

Tree root intrusion is also a common issue in Florida area homes with an old-growth tree in the yard. Tree roots find small holes in the piping and begin to grow inside, causing blockages and collapsed lines. Tree roots can only be removed through hydrojetting or pipe refitting services. 

Video pipe inspections can also reveal sagging or sinking pipes, as well as misaligned pipes that have shifted over time. The cost of this important diagnostic process usually depends on the access point and size of your piping system.

Residential Sewer Camera Inspections

A residential drain line camera inspection may be a necessary yearly service, especially for homes with a yard containing old-growth trees. The drains in multi-rental homes and vacation spots also need frequent drain cleaning, which may require a camera inspection of the plumbing.  

Our sewer scope inspections are especially helpful for older and aging homes where pipes may be deteriorating underground due to natural corrosion.

Commercial Drain and Sewer Camera Inspections

Commercial properties usually experience heavier usage and more complex drainage issues than residential properties. Restaurants, retail buildings, office spaces, apartment complexes, and industrial facilities all benefit from routine sewer camera inspections.

Tru Plumbing and Gas’s main sewer line inspections are designed to:

• Prevent commercial plumbing emergencies.
• Reduce downtime in businesses.
• Identify recurring drainage problems.
• Locate grease buildup, especially in restaurants.
• Maintain compliance with local plumbing regulations.
• Detect pipe damage before major failures. 

Sewer Camera Inspections for Homebuyers

Hidden sewer line problems can turn the excitement of purchasing a home into a messy nightmare. An underground pipe inspection can save homebuyers headaches and provide peace of mind about the condition of their prospective pipes.  

Tru Plumbing and Gas will provide an honest assessment of the condition of the pipes and locate any problem areas. A pre-purchase home inspection can also help you plan for preventative maintenance services. This is especially important for older homes to avoid extra costs before moving in. 

Benefits of Sewer Video Inspections

Sewer video inspections offer several advantages over traditional diagnostic methods, including:

• Precise diagnostics: Camera inspections allow plumbers to visually see the problem and its exact location in the piping system, eliminating any guesswork. 
• A non-invasive diagnostic: Using a camera to check pipe conditions avoids unnecessary excavation and repairs to your property.
• Faster repairs: Our precise diagnostic process enables our plumbers to determine the best course of action and quickly repair drainage issues. 
• Preventative maintenance: A video camera inspection finds minor problem areas before they become expensive repair jobs. 

Sewer Camera Inspection vs. Traditional Diagnostics

Relying on symptoms of plumbing issues alone leads to guesswork and can result in incomplete repairs. Traditional diagnostics identify that a blockage exists, but they often can’t determine:

• The exact location of the blockage. 
• The pipes' condition. 
• The extent of damage deep underground.
• If there are multiple issues. 

Sometimes, a traditional diagnosis is enough to resolve the issue, but for anything more involved, the skilled plumbers at Tru Plumbing and Gas will use a high-powered camera for sewer inspection services.
