Clogs happen. Sometimes things are poured down the drain that shouldn’t be poured down there, and items are flushed down the toilet that should never be flushed. But sometimes clogs happen and we don’t know the cause. That’s where sewer video camera inspections come in.
A sewer video camera inspection allows our plumbing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing to inspect and identify plumbing issues from the ground level of your Glendora home. But what does it mean to inspect a plumbing problem from the ground level, and why is this the preferred option? Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits of using a sewer video camera inspection to detect your plumbing problems in Glendora, CA.
Sewer Video Camera Inspections Are Non-Invasive
Inspecting your sewer line from the ground level means that you don’t have to worry about our plumbing technicians tearing up your yard or property to get your plumbing system. Instead, all we need to do is dig up a single, small point of entry to inspect the pipe and pinpoint the problem using our specially-made fiber-optic cameras. This simple procedure not only safeguards your yard but also saves you time and money.
Sewer Line Inspections Help Identify the Problem
It’s important to have your sewer line inspected when you’re experiencing plumbing problems. If you assume you have a clog in your plumbing, but really you have issues with tree roots, you could end up wasting time and money on plumbing services that won’t actually help restore your sewer line to its former glory. A sewer video camera inspection allows our plumbing technicians to determine what the problem is with your sewer line, what caused the problem, and how to fix it. What’s more, in the event that your plumbing problem is caused by something you poured down the drain or flushed down the toilet, you’ll know in the future not to pour or flush those items down the drain.
Sewer Line Camera Inspections Locate Breaks in the Lines
Clogs aren’t the only thing that can cause plumbing problems. Another common plumbing issue that Glendora homeowners run into is a break in the sewer line. When your sewer line is broken, it can impact the water pressure in your home and leak sewage into your yard and your property’s foundation. This can be significantly damaging to your property.
Breaks in your sewer line can be challenging to find, but sewer camera inspections make them easier to spot. Using our specially-made fiber-optic cameras, our plumbing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing will ease the sewer line camera into your pipes and feed the camera through the line until we find the break, clog, or other problem.
Sewer Video Camera Inspections Make It Easier to Replace the Pipe
Sometimes you don’t need to have an entire pipeline repaired, just a part of the pipeline. Using a sewer video camera inspection, our experienced plumbing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing can locate the part of your plumbing system that needs to be replaced and then replace the damaged pipe using trenchless sewer line replacement. Compared to traditional sewer line replacement, this method is not only efficient but also saves money.
Inspections Can Help to Locate Leaks
As we mentioned above, it can be difficult to locate breaks or leaks in your plumbing system. Unfortunately, leaks that go undetected can actually end up costing you a lot of money. Even a small plumbing leak can waste up to 90 gallons of water a day. That’s 90 gallons of water that you’re paying for but aren’t even using. This can be especially frustrating for Glendora homeowners when California is going through periods of drought when you’re trying to conserve water.
Sewer video camera inspections allow our plumbing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing to pinpoint the leaks in your plumbing system. We can even use the location of the leak we find to determine potential plumbing problems such as sewer line breaks, intrusive tree roots, and more. By catching these leaks before they can cause major problems, you can have peace of mind knowing you’re saving money on what would be larger repairs.
Sewer Video Camera Inspections Require Fewer Permits
When you’re having your plumbing system repaired, some repairs and replacements require permits from your local government agency. However, because sewer video camera inspections and trenchless sewer line repairs don’t require our technicians to dig up your property (which could disrupt both your yard and the neighborhood), you don’t need to apply for as many permits as you would if you were to use traditional repair methods. Sewer video camera inspections and trenchless sewer line repairs oftentimes don’t even require a permit because they may not even disrupt your property at all.
Sewer Line Camera Inspections Can Help Save Money On Future Repairs
With a sewer video camera inspection, our plumbing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing are capable of detecting problems such as clogs, sewer line breaks, leaks, tree root issues, corroded pipelines, and more. By detecting these problems, we’re able to fix smaller issues before they can become bigger disasters. For instance, if you contact our plumbing service because of a potential clog and our technicians find that your pipeline is rusting and nearing the end of its life, you can save money by replacing that pipeline now rather than waiting for it to burst and having to deal with the damage and clean-up later.
Sewer Line Camera Inspections Can Determine the State of Your Pipes
Speaking of your pipelines reaching the end of their life, sewer video camera inspections can also help you determine the state of your pipes. This is especially important if you live in or have moved into a fairly older home. Older homes typically have older plumbing systems, and they may need to be replaced sooner rather than later. The average plumbing system typically lasts anywhere from 20 to 50 years, although some brass plumbing systems can last up to 70 years with proper maintenance.
Regular repairs and maintenance can help to keep your plumbing system in great shape. Western Rooter and Plumbing offers drain cleaning and hydro jetting to help keep your plumbing system clear of any food, hair, and other debris that could put your sewer line at risk for clogs. Drain cleaning can also prevent the need for using chemical drain cleaners, which can actually do more harm than good for your pipes. Chemical drain cleaners can break down your Glendora home’s plumbing system, aging your pipes even more.
