Sewer Camera Inspection

Do you know what is happening inside your pipes? A sewer camera inspection lets you see problems before they turn into costly repairs.

Inside Your Pipes: What a Sewer Camera Inspection Reveals

A sewer camera inspection is more than a quick look; it’s a detailed evaluation of your plumbing’s hidden areas. This service helps identify current problems and prevent future damage. Here’s what it can reveal:

• Root Intrusion: Tree roots can enter your pipes through small cracks, seeking water and nutrients. Over time, they grow and block the flow of wastewater. With a camera inspection, you can detect these roots early and prevent expensive repairs.
• Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: Aging, shifting soil, or heavy traffic above can damage sewer lines. A camera inspection shows cracks or collapses that cause leaks, backups, or contamination. Spotting these problems early can save you time and money.
• Grease Buildup: Grease and oil can coat the inside of pipes, narrow their diameter and slow water flow. Over time, this can cause blockages. A video inspection identifies buildup so it can be cleaned before it causes major issues.
• Foreign Object Blockages: Toys, wipes, and other objects can get stuck in pipes, restricting water flow and causing backups. A camera inspection finds exactly where the object is, making removal faster and easier.

Is Your Plumbing Due for a Video Camera Inspection?

A video camera inspection is one of the most accurate ways to identify hidden plumbing problems without unnecessary digging or guesswork. It allows our plumbers to pinpoint issues quickly, saving you both time and money. Knowing when to schedule one can help prevent costly repairs and protect your home’s plumbing system. Here are key times you should consider calling Iron Mountain Plumbing for a professional video camera inspection:

• Persistent or Recurring Clogs: If your drains keep clogging even after cleaning, a camera inspection can reveal deeper blockages, root intrusions, or damaged pipes that standard tools can’t detect. This targeted approach allows us to fix the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms.
• Before Buying a New Home: A camera inspection gives you a clear picture of the plumbing’s condition before you commit to a purchase. You’ll know about any costly repairs ahead of time and can negotiate or budget accordingly.
• Sewer Line Backups: When sewage backs up into your home, it’s often a sign of a major obstruction or damage. A camera inspection allows us to locate the exact problem so we can resolve it quickly and efficiently.
• Unexplained High Water Bills: If your water usage hasn’t changed but your bill has skyrocketed, a hidden leak could be the culprit. A video inspection helps locate leaks in hard-to-reach areas without damaging walls or floors.
• Old or Deteriorating Pipes: If your home has aging plumbing, a camera inspection can assess its condition and identify corrosion, cracks, or other issues before they turn into costly emergencies.

After Major Plumbing Work: Once repairs or replacements are completed, a camera inspection ensures the work was done properly and your pipes are in excellent condition moving forward.
