How Does a Sewer Camera Inspection Work?

Clogged pipes and other sewer issues can arise at any time due to various reasons. Sometimes the cause is immediately obvious and easily resolvable, such as in the event of a tree root invasion that was not stopped in time. However, there are other instances when the root of the problem may be less obvious and run far deeper. When you need a reliable diagnosis of your sewer and drain issues, a sewer camera inspection in Philadelphia, PA from Integrity Environmental Services is invaluable.

How Inspections Work

We typically start out our pipe camera inspection services by setting up the equipment and the monitors. And then our technician carefully sends a small, specially designed camera down the sewer line, maneuvering it until the camera has traveled the length of the pipe. The camera records the condition of the sewer line and sends the footage back to our monitors. This allows inspectors to see any damage, blockages, or other problems that may be occurring in the sewer line. 

Getting a sewer video inspection done can help diagnose the problem with accurate visuals. When problems are identified through a visual sewer inspection and the exact location and nature of the problem are known, it can make the process of pipe rehabilitation much easier and more efficient. 

What They Reveal

If potential problems are identified and addressed before they have a chance to cause major damage, this can help to prevent the need for expensive and disruptive repairs in the future. A drain inspection will help provide an accurate diagnosis by offering a more complete picture of the system’s condition, which can allow you to make more informed decisions in the future.

As with any such process, it is a good idea to speak with a capable professional as soon as you notice problems. A preventative sewer inspection can avert potential damage from spiraling out of control.
