Pipe camera inspection helps identify the exact issues, their causes, and their extents, eliminating any guesswork when diagnosing and solving pipe issues. At The Pipe Medic, we have been providing thorough and efficient sewer camera inspection services in Atlanta, GA for a long time, and here are the most common things the cameras help us identify.
What Information Can You Get From a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Tree Root Intrusion
This is one of the most common problems in pipes made from cast iron, clay, and other porous materials. Tree roots grow out in search of water and organic matter, and if there is a crack in the water or sewer pipes, they grow through it. This might cause severe blockages and damage to the pipes that sometimes require a complete pipe replacement, which a pipe camera inspection can help us determine.
Blockages
Every homeowner deals with blockages to different extents from different causes like grease, mineral, and hair buildup. A sewer video inspection helps us identify the location of the clog, its cause, and its seriousness, making it easy to identify the best way to deal with it. Without a professional inspection, homeowners might be tempted to try DIY methods that might make the clogs worse or damage other parts of the pipes.
Broken, Damaged, Collapsed, Or Sagging Pipes
Identifying these issues in pipes buried underground or behind walls is impossible without a camera-based plumbing inspection. The camera helps us identify the condition and position of the pipes. While sagging or bellied lines are rare, it happens when the ground shifts and might result in serious and recurring blockages.
Condition Of a Repair Or Replacement
Once we have completed a pipe repair or replacement project, we need a drain inspection to help us see if we did it correctly. If we did the trenchless lining, the inspection would help us determine whether we covered the whole pipe evenly.
