Whether you’re buying a new home or commercial property or having unexplained issues with your plumbing like frequent clogs or low water pressure, a video pipe inspection will provide you valuable insights into your plumbing. Pipes can be obstructed by tree roots, clogged by a buildup of flushed waste, or leaking due to a crack. You have no way of knowing the condition of your pipes unless you look inside every inch of the pipes inside your home and to the street.
We use a flexible fiber optic cable with a bright light and high-resolution video camera to inspect inside your plumbing, accessible branch lines, and pipes until we reach the sewer. The video is transmitted to the plumbing inspector in real time so the operator can pinpoint any concerns. This small, yet powerful tool records video of your plumbing, giving you peace of mind that nothing is wrong or pinpointing exactly where the issue(s) is so you can have them repaired.
Video pipe inspections are much faster, cheaper, and less damaging than digging up the entire length of a pipe just to find the problem. This inexpensive inspection can save you tens of thousands of dollars because knowing what the problem is and where it is allows us to create a better game plan for fixing it. The data provided by the video pipe inspection removes the time-consuming and costly guesswork, so we come prepared with the right tools to repair your damaged pipes efficiently, saving you time and hassle.
Plumbing issues occur over time due to aging pipes, freezing weather, natural disasters, ground settling, shifting soil, and root intrusion from tree growth. The longer the leak exists, the more damage it causes to your home and its foundation.
Don’t Purchase a New Property with a Video Pipe Inspection
Performing a video pipe inspection before you acquire a house or commercial property can save you thousands of dollars on plumbing problems that you cannot see without an inspection. An inspection will either give you the peace of mind you need or detect problems like clogs, pipe breaks, grease build-up, separations, bellied pipes, offset or misaligned pipes, deteriorating pipes, root intrusion, aging pipes, broken seals, stress cracks, corrosion, and more. Additionally, we can see if you have outdated or substandard pipe materials that no longer meet the building code or that are too small for your needs.
A video pipe inspection is a must-do when buying a house and is usually not included in a home inspection. It will give you a roadmap of your plumbing system so you know where your plumbing connects to the city or parish sewer system, and it may be useful for future insurance claims.
