8 Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspection Services

Hey there, homeowners! It’s Mike, the Matador Plumber.

Let’s talk about something that’s not exactly glamorous, but super important for the well-being of your home – your home’s sewer pipes!

One of the best ways to keep an eye on the condition of your sewer system is through sewer camera inspections performed by a professional plumber. These nifty little cameras are like tiny spies that can venture deep into your pipes and send back crystal-clear video footage of what’s going on inside.

Think of it as a regular check-up for your home’s “internals”. A sewer camera inspection allows your plumber to diagnose any potential problems before they turn into major headaches (or backups…yuck!).

From identifying pesky clogs and blockages to spotting cracks, root intrusions, and even locating that missing piece of jewelry that accidentally went down the drain, these cameras have got you covered. And the best part? They can do all of this with minimal digging and disruption to your yard or landscaping.

Whether you’re a first-time homeowner wanting to start on the right foot, a seasoned pro looking to stay on top of maintenance, or someone preparing to buy a new home (smart move, by the way!), considering a sewer camera inspection is a wise investment in the long-term health of your pipes – and your peace of mind.

So, let’s list all of the key benefits that will benefit you when doing a sewer camera inspection on your home’s sewer piping:

#1: Identifies Clogs and Blockages

A sewer camera inspection allows the plumber to visually locate the exact position and cause of any clogs or blockages in the sewer line. This enables targeted repairs instead of guesswork.

#2: Detects Cracks, Bellies, and Pipe Damage

The camera can spot cracks, breaks, bellied sections, and other damage in the sewer pipes that could lead to leaks or collapses. Early detection prevents bigger problems down the line.

#3: Locates Root Intrusion

Tree and shrub roots can infiltrate sewer lines and cause clogs or breaks. The camera identifies any root intrusion so the plumber knows where to clear the roots.

#4: Minimizes Digging and Disruption

Instead of digging up the entire yard to inspect pipes, the camera can be inserted into access points, avoiding landscape damage and reducing costs.

#5: Enables Informed Repair Decisions

With video footage of the pipe’s interior condition, the homeowner can make an informed decision on whether repairs, relining or pipe replacement is needed.

#6: Recovers Dropped Objects

If jewelry, toys or other valuables are dropped down a drain, the camera can locate the object and guide retrieval efforts.

#7: Assesses Condition Before Buying a Home

For home buyers, a sewer inspection identifies any existing pipe issues that may require major repairs after purchase.

#8: Provides Preventative Maintenance

Regular inspections allow monitoring of pipe condition over time to catch developing issues early when repairs are simpler and cheaper.

In Summary.

Sewer camera inspections provide visual evidence to accurately diagnose sewer line problems, make informed repair decisions, locate leaks and obstructions precisely, and enable preventative maintenance – saving time, costs and disruption for the homeowner.
