Video Inspection Services in San Jose, CA
Before the advent of video inspection technology, plumbing companies would have to remove, excavate, and replace large portions of piping in order to find the source of a clogged drain. Thankfully, the experts at SWAGS Plumbing and Rooter have access to innovative sewer video inspection technology to locate the obstructions in your home’s drains quickly and easily. Our video technology provides a live, real-time look into your San Jose, CA, home’s piping. Our friendly and experienced plumbers can quickly pinpoint the location of the clog and take the necessary steps to remove it. Contact our friendly and experienced local San Jose plumbers today to schedule your plumbing video inspection service.
How Do Drain Cam Inspections Work?
Plumbing inspection video cameras are an emerging technology that gives our plumbers unprecedented insight into the quality of your home’s sewer line and interior drains. It is the easiest way to inspect sewer pipes, especially those that would require excavation of your lawn or foundation to repair. A small camera attached to a pushrod is used, and as our plumber works the pushrod through your drains, the camera transmits real-time video footage directly to our monitor so the technicians can see exactly where the blockage is. It can also give us insight into the overall condition of your sewer pipes.
Do I Need a Sewer Video Inspection?
Not every blockage requires a video inspection. If our plumbers are certain they know where the clog is, it may not be necessary. However, there are several issues that may require a video inspection service from our experienced plumbing team, including:
Persistent Blockages
If you're experiencing frequent or persistent sewer line blockages, a video inspection can help pinpoint the exact location and cause, whether it's due to debris buildup, grease accumulation, or other obstructions.
Slow Draining Fixtures
When multiple fixtures in your home, such as sinks, toilets, or showers, are draining slowly, it may indicate a blockage or other issues within the sewer line. A video inspection can reveal the underlying cause and determine the best course of action to resolve the issue.
Invasive Tree Roots
Tree roots can work their way into your home’s underground pipes, causing significant damage to your plumbing system. Our video inspection services will discover exactly where the roots are located for proper removal.
Temperature Changes
Extreme hot and cold weather can cause your home’s foundation to shift, which leads to broken pipes. We can quickly identify any damage to your home’s sewer pipes and make the necessary repairs.
Old Pipes
If you own an older home, the pipes can quickly begin to deteriorate. Cast iron is a common material that degrades, splits, cracks, and may even collapse underground. With our video inspection service, we can discover if your sewer pipes need repair or complete replacement.
Don't Let These Savings Go Down the Drain
Benefits of Sewer Video Inspection Services
Sewer camera inspection services offer invaluable insights into the condition of your sewer pipe, allowing for thorough assessments and targeted solutions. At SWAGS Plumbing and Rooter, our sewer video inspection services utilize advanced technology to provide a detailed visual inspection of your sewer system. Explore the benefits of sewer video inspection services below:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Sewer video inspection allows for a precise and accurate diagnosis of sewer line issues. By inserting a specialized camera into the sewer line, plumbers can visually inspect the interior of the pipes, identifying the exact location and nature of the problem. This helps in determining the most effective and targeted solution.
- Time and Cost Savings: Video inspections can save both time and money in the long run. By quickly identifying the cause of the problem, plumbers can provide timely repairs or maintenance, preventing further damage and the need for extensive excavation. This efficient process reduces the overall repair time and minimizes associated costs.
- Proactive Maintenance: Regular sewer video inspections are a proactive approach to maintenance. By detecting potential issues early on, such as cracks, leaks, or root intrusion, preventative measures can be taken to address these problems before they escalate. This helps to avoid major sewer line failures and costly repairs in the future.
- Non-Invasive Method: Video inspection is a non-invasive method of evaluating sewer line conditions. Unlike traditional methods that require extensive digging and excavation, video inspections only require access points to insert the camera into the pipe. This minimizes disruption to landscaping, driveways, and other structures on your property.
- Evidence and Documentation: Sewer video inspections provide tangible evidence and documentation of the sewer line’s condition. The recorded footage serves as a visual record of the inspection, which can be shared with the homeowner, insurance companies, or potential buyers during property transactions. This transparency helps to ensure trust and clarity regarding the sewer line’s condition.
- Enhanced Decision-Making: With a clear visual understanding of the sewer line’s condition, homeowners and plumbers can make informed decisions regarding repairs, replacements, or maintenance. The real-time footage allows for a comprehensive evaluation, enabling better judgment and selection of the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions.
