In plumbing, the things you can’t see typically are what create the most trouble. Clogs buried underground, burst pipes, and tree root intrusions can remain unseen until they result in serious — and costly — repair work. This is where video camera inspections enter the picture. At Well Done Plumbing, we stop problems before they start using our state-of-the-art drain camera.
What is a Drain Camera Inspection?
During a drain camera inspection, we will be inserting a high-resolution waterproof camera into your drainage system. That way, plumbers can see inside the pipes with no wasteful digging or guessing. The images reveal obstructions, gaps, weakening and other hazards not apparent to the naked eye.
How Camera Inspections Prevent Costly Repairs
Early Problem Detection: Minor clogs and tiny cracks may not seem like an emergency at first — but they can quickly deteriorate into major backups or pipe collapses. Through camera inspections, these problems can be identified at their earliest and least costly phase to be corrected.
Pinpoint Accuracy: Rather than ripping up your floors or garden and guessing the problem, camera inspection allows us to pinpoint the exact area of damage. That means repairs can be pinpointed and less invasive, reducing labour and restoration costs.
Preventing Recurring Issues: While traditional drain cleaning will clear a blockage for the time being, it won’t answer why that clog was created in the first place. Camera inspections reveal underlying issues such as misshapen pipes, grease and invading tree roots, so you can solve the real problem instead of experiencing constant recurrences.
Smart Homeowner Investment: This can be compared to a plumbing health check-up. With regular preventative drain camera inspections, you eliminate surprise emergencies and prolong the life of your pipes – saving a fortune in future repair expenses.
When Should You Get a Camera Inspection?
- Commonly, these include your drain backing up or draining very slowly
- Odd smells from sinks or toilets
- Purchasing and selling homes
- After significant landscaping around pipes
- If You Suspect Tree Root Infiltration
