Pipe inspections are essential when we are checking in on the continued health of your property’s plumbing system—they can help us identify potential problems before something breaks down and requires more costly repairs. Through the use of non-invasive inspection methods, we are able to take a look at your pipes without causing any undue damage or having to cut through your walls or floors.
When you schedule a pipe inspection, our first step will be to find a cleanout or drain opening. Through that opening, we can insert a camera on a flexible cable. We can monitor the live feed from the camera as we feed the cable through the pipes, checking for blockages, cracks, leaks, corrosion, or tree roots along the way. We can reach far into your plumbing system using this method, which lets us inspect sections of your pipes that would otherwise be incredibly difficult to get to. In addition to catching any larger issues with your pipes, we might also check for things like poor water flow or places where your pipes may be weakening.
Once we’re done with our inspection, we will write up a report for you, which will include the overall condition of your pipes as well as any action we recommend you take. These recommendations might be something simple like a cleaning, but we might also recommend repairs or replacements on sections of your plumbing system.
Pipe inspections can be especially useful to you when you are thinking about buying a home, if you know your property is getting old, or if you are experiencing regular clogging. Regular pipe inspections can help you to keep your system strong and working well.
