HOW DRAIN LINE VIDEO CAMERA INSPECTION WORK?

It might be a frustrating situation if you have a sewer or pipe problem but don't know where to explore. There is now a simple and quick answer. Video pipe inspection is a useful tool for locating leaks, cracks, and obstructions in pipes.

What makes a drain clogged?


A buildup of sludge or grease on the interior of sewer pipes can cause them to clog. While blockages can develop in any property due to a lack of maintenance and not necessarily a breakdown, they are more common in food service facilities due to the use of oil, vegetable waste, and other fodder. This is why drain line video camera inspection is important.


WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR DRAIN LINE VIDEO CAMERA INSPECTION


Step 1


The majority of businesses have a cleanout port for their sewer line, which a technician will use to get access to your pipe. If your house doesn't have any built-in insertion points, you'll have to make one so the sewer camera can be installed into the pipe. To access the pipe, the technician will need to dig a tiny hole and then make a small hole in the pipe through which a camera can be inserted.


Step 2


The sewer camera is inserted into the pipe in the second step of the procedure. The camera is compact and uses a fiber optic connection to deliver a live video to a monitor/CCTV, allowing the technician to see within the pipe.


Step 3


Express Sewer & Drain plumbing specialists will be able to see if your pipes are broken, slipping, or clogged with globs of hair, grease, or organic growth like tree roots throughout the operation. The video is saved so that you may revisit it later to figure out what's wrong with your sewer line.


After the camera has traveled the length of the pipe, the footage is evaluated, and a recommendation for how to proceed is made. A sewage camera can detect a variety of pipe problems, including:


  • Blockages 

  • Collapsed sewer lines 

  • Commercial cleanouts

  • Corrosion

  • Broken pipes

  • Drain line

Is Drain Line Video Camera Inspection Necessary?


While this is not a common occurrence, if you want to add a bathroom or remodel your kitchen or bathroom, you may need a video inspection. You may want to inspect your sewer line to ensure that it can handle the increased demands due to the higher volumes of wastewater involved. Most households, on the other hand, only want a sewage line video inspection if there is a problem, such as a blockage that cannot be resolved with plunging, chemical drain cleaners or drain maintenance.

Do you have a toilet running continuously? You may be surprised to know that there are many reasons why toilets run continuously. Find out what causes them here! Toilets can sometimes run continuously for no apparent reason. This condition is called "toilet tank overflow." It can happen when the water level in the tank drops below the float valve. The float valve opens the drain line, allowing water to flow into the bowl. The Tank Is Empty. If the tank is empty, then the float valve will open the drain line.
