Millburn Water Line Tip: Advantages of Using Video Pipe Inspection

Monday, January 9th, 2012

If you have any problems with the drains, sewer lines, or plumbing fixtures in your Millburn home, it’s important to locate the source of the problem as quickly as possible to prevent further damage to the plumbing system.

Video pipe inspection enables professional plumbers to locate blockages, check for cracks or leaks, and determine the best approach for making any needed repairs as efficiently as possible without damage to your property.

If you have any problems with your plumbing, call one of the qualified plumbers at Resolve Rooter today and set up an appointment.

Here are some reasons plumbers use video pipe inspections and the advantages to this technique.

Less Invasive Investigation of Plumbing Problems

Instead of hours of costly digging to locate and repair pipes, a video pipe inspection makes it possible to insert a small, fiber optic video line into a drain pipe and check for issues without tearing up large chunks of your property.  A video inspection line is fed inside your drains to look for leaks, blockages, or other problems that can only be detected with a camera. Once our qualified plumbers find the cause of the problem, we can use the camera to determine the best repair methods.

Detecting Root Penetration and Overall Plumbing Inspections

Video pipe inspection is typically used to check for small leaks and blockages in residential plumbing systems, but it can be used to look for any roots penetrating the sewer and drainage lines. If you own an older home, video camera inspections are ideal for inspecting the overall integrity of your plumbing system. Additionally, video inspections can locate issues when other techniques, such as water jetting, have not been successful at cleaning debris from a pipe or sewer line.

Leak Detection and Lowering Water Bills

Older pipes, or pipes that are exposed to extreme weather conditions, can have leaks that you could be unaware of. Even a minor leak adds up over time, and detecting and repairing leaks will lower your water bills and overall energy costs. Monitoring the water bills for your home can help with leak detection. If there’s been an unexplained rise in your bills recently, there could be a hidden leak inside your pipe system.

The advances of video inspection technology have made it easier for plumbers to inspect the plumbing system in your Millburn home and determine the best solutions to any issues. Call Resolve Rooter if you have questions or would like to set up an appointment with one of our qualified plumbers.

Why You Might Need Video Inspection for Your Stroudsburg Home’s Water or Sewer Line?

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

When you suspect a problem in your pipes, the first thing you should do is call for an inspection. Never assume you need a new pipe line installed or that your Stroudsburg house is about to be flooded. It could be as simple as a small crack that can be sealed easily or a clog from excess food and grease being put down the drain.

In the past, inspection was a hit or miss process. Using trial and error a plumber would attempt to determine the source of the problem. However, with modern trenchless technology and the low cost of video equipment, it is now possible to look inside the pipe and see what the problem is directly.

How Video Inspection Works

The process varies depending on the length of pipe that needs to be inspected. For instance, for a sewer line or water line, a small hole is dug to access the pipe. However, inside this may not be necessary depending on where your plumber suspects the problem originates.

That said, pipe inspection is most commonly needed for underground lines that cannot be accessed without some digging. Instead of digging up the pipe completely, a video line can be used to check for specific problems.

Once your plumber has access to the pipe line, they will insert the video inspection unit and check for things like roots, clogs, leaks, and cracks. This is such a powerful tool because instead of guessing where the problem is located and repairing based on those assumptions, your plumber can now be 100% sure of the problem and solve it accordingly.

The process is relatively simple and it saves a tremendous amount of money when pipe replacement is not needed. In some cases, a simple repair or high speed jetting solves the problem and the homeowner is left with a modest bill instead of a five figure punch to the gut. Whether a video inspection is right for you depends on the problems you are having, but the only way to be sure is to call a professional and discuss your observations.
