Plumbing Sewer Camera Inspections

When is it time to hire a professional plumber and get a real sewer line inspection with a video camera?

A video can tell you the truth of what lies beneath your home deep in the recesses of the drainage systems for your home (or business) plumbing system. Video never lies, and in a lot of cases what you see is what you get. Roots, debris, children toys, clothing, dead animals they have all been found with the technology that allows you to go where you  never wanted to go.

Video cameras are an invaluable tool for plumbers today. A waterproof camera allows for an up close visual inspection of your sewer lines.

A skilled plumber can insert the camera attached to a flexible rod, with high resolution well lit video into a pipe as small as 2" diameter to a large 36" pipe. The flexible tubing allows the camera to snake it's way thru your sewer system and show you where trouble may already be or where trouble may be developing. Spotting an issue with this type of camera can save you time and money down the road troubleshooting issues deep within your sewer system.

Eliminate the guesswork. During the course of your sewer camera inspection depths and locations can be mapped with radio transmitted signals, eliminating guesswork when it comes time to tackle a plumbing issue. Eliminate the guesswork and resolve your plumbing issues quickly and for less cost.

Slow drainage may be roots from a nearby the blocking the sewer flow. If you have a sewer pipe that has been compromised and cracked you may have dirt or rocks that have worked their way into your sewer system.

 Additionally, a video camera line inspection before you purchase a home will help ensure that sewer lines are free of problems that can cause headaches and expensive repairs after you move in.

Video camera inspections have also been helpful in locating expensive jewelry or other valuables that have fallen into your homes plumbing system. 

Costs for sewer camera inspections can vary. From a quick look to an extensive overview. 

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.

Bathroom Plumbing Water conservation tips.

Arguably water is one of our most precious resources. And when it comes to conserving water very few of us think of the importance for the future generations to have reliable clean water resources. The first line of defense is in your own home. Kitchens, Bathrooms, Laundry Plumbing systems are all utilizing water every day. There are ways to reduce water usage in these areas and they are pretty simple. 

Turn off the water Are you one of those that turns on a faucet and leaves the water running while you brush your teeth. This is something we all do in the morning part of our routine. And once you add up all the family members in a home as ink that is running constantly can add up to many gallons of water simply running down the drain. After you wet your toothbrush, turn the faucet off and see what a difference it makes in your water usage

Men be smart while shaving Once again here is an area we can all conserve. While shaving isn’t a daily activity, (for some of us) it is important to keep an eye on the faucet. If you leave a faucet open and running while shaving the amount of water wasted can again add up to gallons. This will waste water and increase your water bill considerably. If you tend to let the water run while you shave in the morning, consider filling a bowl with water and using that to shave with instead.

Showers vs. Baths.  Soaking in the bathtub after a long day is a great way to reduce stress and relax. But baths use considerably more water than a shower. You can test this by closing the drain the next time you shower. You may be surprised how little water a shower can consume.

Plumbing and Water Conservation

Replace your toilet As part of a good and healthy water conservation routine replacing old appliances like toilets and making sure you have up to date plumbing systems like repairing leaks under sinks and making sure your tub and showers have water efficient heads on them. These can be simple ways to reduce water usage in your home.

\Water supply and drainage is critical to the proper continuous operation of many appliances in your home. From your ice maker to you dishwasher, these appliances depend on the ability to draw and drain properly. This ebb and flow guarantee you enjoy a long life from your appliances as well as some health and safety features.

Indoor Jacuzzi tubs, Dishwashers Refrigerator Freezers, most homes or businesses have some type of these appliances. Some minor maintenance and visual inspections can reduce the chances of more major issues down the road.

If you are installing a new dishwasher it is best to consult a professional. Making a secure connection on the supply side is important to reduce the risk of leakage. When it comes to the drain side, in a dishwasher there is typically a drain tray located near the back. A visual inspection can easily determine if there is debri blocking the drainage. Clear this debri regularly for proper drainage.

Jacuzzi tubs rely on pressure jets to blast that powerful water. Sometimes these jets can get a little clogged and are easily cleaned with a recommended cleaning solution and a little elbow grease. If you have a hard water issue it may leave calcified deposits in the jets over time and reduce the pressure of water released.
