Sewer Camera Inspections

One of the absolute worst places to need plumbing repairs is in the sewer line. That's the main outtake pipe that removes all the used wastewater  from your home and into your cities sewer system. When waste water starts backing up into your house, not only is it gross, it can mean you are probably in for a very difficult and expensive repair.

Typically your sewer pipe is solidly buried by several feet of dirt and pavement, it's almost impossible to diagnose what the problem is without a major excavation. Fortunately, one of the more popular plumbing services available is sewer inspection by camera, which allows technicians to discover and diagnose problems in your sewer pipe without having to dig it up first.  

Sewer Camera Inspections

If you suspect a sewer pipe problem or have been told you need an expensive repair done, trust us to give you an accurate assessment of your pipes with a video camera inspection. Having a video inspection done, will first show if a problem actually exists and what the scope of the problem is.

A flexible rod with a high-resolution color video camera on its tip is inserted into the pipe for inspection. Video images are transmitted to the camera operator and can be saved onto a videotape for a permanent record. Radio transmitters on the camera record the depth and physical location from the surface so that defects and obstructions can be corrected cost effectively.

Many different types of objects can get into your lines we have seen household items like towels and toys to roots from nearby trees which will indeed break right thru all types of material and create very difficult clogs that take extreme measures to clear. 

Having a plumber with a camera to inspect your sewer lines can be a most valuable tool. Just imagine knowing in advance what is causing your plumbing issue. This type of inspection can save you time and money and give you piece of mind that a problem is being addressed right the first time. 

Sewer Camera Inspection Equipment

The cost for a sewer line inspection can vary from Plumbing Company to Plumbing Company. The investment in the equipment can play a part in what a plumbing contractor has to charge for this service. A residential video sewer inspection can cost $100-$800, but averages about $250-$500, depending on the length of the pipes, local rates, if the inspection is being done in conjunction with other work or as a separate job, and whether the images are just sent to a monitor or are recorded for later viewing.  

Video sewer inspections are not typically included in a standard home inspection, and are usually ordered separately, if needed. Many experts recommend doing a video sewer inspection on a house built more than 25 years ago. Prior to 1984, many homes were constructed with clay sewer pipes, which are easily broken or crushed. A video sewer inspection may also be helpful if water is backing up inside the house or crawlspace, if there are large trees in the yard near the sewer or if the ground has moved or settled near the sewer line.

If you have a persistent clog and think it may be the result of a larger plumbing problem Paul Vadnais Plumbing has the tools and experience to get to the roof of your problem
