The Best Sewer Camera Inspection in Richmond, VA

What Do We Use Cameras For?

Cameras provide a noninvasive way to locate plumbing issues. This technology makes it easy for us to perform the following tasks:

• Inspecting septic systems
• Remodel septic systems
• Inspect homes for sale
• Retrieve lost items

Video cameras also turn up problems that could have resulted in much more expensive repairs down the road. We hire licensed, bonded and insured plumbers familiar with conducting video camera inspections. This allows the technician to locate the exact cause of the problem before beginning repairs. It may also provide you with valuable insight into your home’s plumbing system.

What Is a Plumbing Camera Inspection?

You may be wondering what exactly we do during a camera inspection. If your business or home experience is a sewer line issue or drain back up, we need to find the blockage or source of damage causing the leak. Most plumbers snake the line, hoping that that takes care of the problem. However, without a sewer camera inspection, you don’t know the source of the damage.

During a video camera inspection, we snake the camera through the pipes on the end of a rigid auger. This allows us to record the condition of your pipes and any blockages all the way to the main city line or your septic tank. The camera detects broken pipes, roots and debris that could be causing your back up or leak.

What Are Some of the Best Uses for a Plumbing Camera?

Take the guesswork out of your plumbing repair. Having a camera inspection gives you solid evidence of the condition inside your commercial or residential plumbing system. If there’s a broken pipe ten feet underground or 30 feet down the pipe inside your home, we will find it and provide all your repair options.

If you’re purchasing a new home, faulty plumbing could end up being a very costly mistake after you move in. However, with a traditional home inspection, there is no camera inspection. Cover your bases so you don’t have to regret it later.

With the video plumbing inspection, you get peace of mind from knowing exactly what the problem is. You can see what’s happening for yourself.

What You Should Expect

An experienced plumber will come to your home with all the equipment needed to perform the camera inspection. The equipment is lightweight and doesn’t have to go directly inside the home. Instead, our plumber accesses the sewer line from an outside section of the pipe that ties into the main sewer line. If your home doesn’t have a clean-out line, we can add one to make it easier to troubleshoot future problems.

Our professional plumbers feed the camera into the sewer line. We track the distance, so we know exactly where to find the problem once we locate it. The footage is examined on a small monitor the plumbing team brings with them.
