Main Sewer Line Camera Inspection

Drain Camera Inspection

Main Sewer Line Camera Inspection

When plumbing problems arise, you’ll have to find a 24/7 emergency plumber to save the day. If it’s not apparent what the problem is, your plumber may suggest a sewer line camera inspection. In this article, our Twin Cities plumbers answer some questions regarding this technique.

What Does a Sewer Line Inspection Camera Do? 

Specially designed waterproof video camera snakes are forced through pipelines to perform visual inspections of sewage lines and other difficult-to-reach pipes. This is a non-invasive technique that is used for pipes that are underground, encased in concrete, hidden behind walls, and under the base of your house. Video pipe inspections eliminate the guesswork associated with issues hidden inside pipes.

How Does a Sewer Line Camera Inspection Work?

A flexible rod is inserted into the pipe by your McQuillan Bros sewer solutions expert. At the tip of the rod is a high-definition video camera. The flexible rod allows the camera to move through the pipe when transmitting video to an HDTV display. One of our plumbers will inspect the entire length of a pipeline and record the inspection digitally for future reference.

Camera snakes from McQuillan Bros are outfitted with bright LED lights that illuminate the inside of the tubing, revealing any holes, clog sources, or structural issues. Inside the camera, a radio transmitter records the underground depth as well as the exact physical position of any faults or obstructions in the pipe. This enables the technician to reliably identify any plumbing issues and provide our customers with cost-effective care or repair options. Our friends at Gilmore Heating, Air, and Plumbing, a plumbing company in Sacramento, highly recommend a sewer line camera inspection so that you can identify any potential problems.

What Problems Can a Sewer Line Camera Inspection Catch?

The service technician will see any issues with the pipe using a sewer inspection video camera. Root interference, cracks, punctures, corrosion, or misaligned pipe parts are examples of this. The camera can also detect grease accumulation, leaks, and obstructions. Following the operation, a follow-up video inspection may be performed to ensure that the pipeline has been properly cleaned or repaired.

When Should I Get a Sewer Line Camera Inspection?

This form of plumbing inspection is suggested if you have frequent sewer and drain line backups, sluggish drains, or clogs. Furthermore, realtors and prospective homeowners frequently recognize the cost savings of performing a professional video inspection of sewer pipes prior to purchasing a house. The sewer inspection will decide whether or not the sewer line is free of issues that may result in costly future repairs.

If you are experiencing plumbing problems in the Twin Cities area or beyond, McQuillan Bros is more than happy to help. We’re Minnesota’s Orignal Home Service company since 1883. Contact us today for a free plumbing estimate.
