Video Camera Inspection

Uncover all of your Sewer & Septic problems with a Video Camera Inspection.

Sometimes there are sewer or septic issues that run deeper than a flashlight and general inspection can determine. For those cases, a video camera inspection is the best route to take to uncover the problem in your sewer lines.

A video camera pipe inspection allows for a real-time visual inspection of underground sewer lines and other piping to determine the condition inside the pipe. A flexible fiber-optic cable is pushed through your pipe system with a water-proof, high-resolution camera and exceptional lighting, where it records the full route of your sewer lines. The camera operator monitors the video images and can make a more informed decision on what the issue is based on the footage received.

Why should you get a sewer video camera inspection done? Well there are a lot of reasons why almost any job might benefit from a video camera inspection, but here are a few of the top reasons:

• Save time and money: Instead of having to make guesses on where the issue lies or digging up the entire line for review, a video inspection can pinpoint the exact problem areas so that we only have to repair or replace a small section of the line. In most cases, your entire sewer line doesn’t need to be replaced.
• Documented proof for a warranty claim: If you recently had work done on your system and there is a warranty period, you can use the video footage as documentation to show there is a problem with your sewer and/or septic line. It can also be used for any insurance claim you are looking to make on your system.
• Identify pipe damage: Our technicians might be able to estimate where or what a problem might be with your septic system, but we typically cannot gauge the condition of the pipes without a video inspection. That visual indicator can alert us to bigger issues and save money in the long run.
• Follow-up to determine the problem is taken care of: After your system has been serviced, we can follow up to verify the obstructions have been eliminated and the lines are clean going forward.

Are you wondering what a video camera inspection might uncover in your sewer or septic system? Video camera inspections can find a multitude of issues, including:

• Blockage — grease buildup or a foreign object can restrict the proper flow and/or cleaning of the line
• Broken, cracked, corroded, or collapsed pipe — damaged pipes requiring repair or replacement
• Bellied pipe — sections of the pipe sometimes sink due to ground or soil conditions, which creates a valley that can collect waste
• Offset pipe — a misalignment can occur due to shifting soil, frozen ground, or general ground settling
• Off-grade pipe — substandard or outdated material of your existing pipes may have deteriorated or corroded
• Root infiltration — tree or shrub roots can disturb your sewer line, preventing normal cleaning and/or causing damage to the pipes
• Leaking joints — the seals between pipes can break, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe
