Commercial Plumbing Video Camera Inspections In Syracuse, NY

Why Plumbing Camera Inspections Are So Effective

The biggest advantage of a plumbing camera inspection is that it takes out the guesswork. Your plumber will not have to make a “best guess” about the inside of your line or do any unnecessary digging. We’ll know exactly what the problem is, and we’ll be able to give you an accurate estimate before any work begins.

Issues a Plumbing Video Camera Can Detect

No matter what type of business you run, preventative maintenance will be key to keeping your plumbing working as it should. Any sort of plumbing problem can cripple your operations, so identifying minor issues before they become major will be extremely important. It’s not at all an overstatement to say that a plumbing camera inspection can be crucial to keep your business running. These are just a few of the things a camera can detect before they cause extensive — and expensive — damage:

• Tree roots — A plumbing video camera can spot the intrusion of tree roots without having to dig up a pipe to get to the problem. It lets a plumber know exactly where the intrusion has occurred so the obstruction can be removed as efficiently as possible.
• Objects — No matter what type of business you run, odds are someone has flushed something down the toilet that didn’t belong. It could be something as strange as a children’s toy or something as common as a napkin. A camera inspection can pinpoint the location of the object and make extracting it much faster and easier.
• Cracked pipes — A small crack in a pipe can lead to big problems if it isn’t repaired quickly. To prevent a crack from becoming larger and leading to a major flood, your plumber will, of course, need to find out where it’s located. A plumbing camera inspection can provide that information, eliminating the need for tearing up your landscaping unnecessarily.
• Collapsed or settled pipes — A section of pipe is considered to be “settled” when it is sitting lower than the surrounding line. This can make it easy for debris to build up in that area of the line, leading to a potentially damaging clog. A video camera can detect settling before major problems can occur.
• Leaks — Many plumbing leaks start out small, gradually doing damage to the surrounding area that may take weeks, months or even longer to be seen. A leaking pipe joint can be especially subtle — and particularly damaging — because of the corrosion it can cause. A plumbing camera inspection is the least invasive way of pinpointing a leak so repairs can be performed with the least possible amount of disruption to your business.

Signs You May Have an Undetected Plumbing Leak

Although most leaks take a long time to manifest themselves, if you are alert you can usually spot the signs of a problem. For example, you may hear a dripping sound without seeing any water, or you might notice musty or damp odors in your facility. You might hear a groaning noise or a squealing sound when you turn on a faucet. There is also a chance your monthly water bill spikes unexpectedly. All of these are signs you need a plumbing camera inspection performed as soon as possible so you can quickly get to the cause of the problem.
