Video Pipe Inspection | Plumbers Arlington
Clogged drains and sewer pipes are one of the most aggravating plumbing issues that homeowner’s experience. Even worse, is when drainage issues result in sewer backup. In the past, a plumber would attempt to unclog the drain with various tools, and if it failed, removal of the affected pipe was required to identify and provide a solution for the issue. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing plumbers in Arlington have the latest technology. One of those is the sewer camera, for providing a video pipe inspection.
The sewer camera is a high-resolution video camera attached to a flexible fiber optic cable. The camera provides a live video feed, while recording the images as the cable travels through the pipe. The live images are transmitted to a monitor for the viewing of our plumbers in Arlington. From the images, the cause of the blockage is identified, and the plumber is able to determine the most efficient and effective solution for restoring free flowing drainage.
Drain Cleaning
Drain and sewer pipe clogs are a common plumbing issue. Drain cleaning will resolve clogs, and the process of hydro jetting provides effective cleaning for the toughest clogs.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses highly pressurized water with forward and reverse jets provide 360 degrees of cleaning for the cleanest pipe possible. Not even stubborn grease clogs can withstand the power of hydro jetting.
Sewer Pipe Problems
The video pipe inspection enables our plumbers in Arlington to identify the following common sewer pipe issues:
- Broken, cracked, or collapsed pipe will require replacement by our plumbers in Arlington.
- Offset pipe occurs when the pipe becomes misaligned.
- Tree roots or stubborn grease is a common cause of a blocked sewer pipe. Once in the pipe, the roots will grow until a blockage occurs.
- Older homes may contain galvanized metal sewer pipe. The pipe will eventually corrode with rust, resulting in the leakage into the environment, blockage, or collapsed pipe. A leaking sewer pipe requires immediate intervention to prevent the risk of disease causing organisms entering the water table, lakes and streams.
- Bellied pipe occurs when pipe sags into the soil, creating a low point where a blockage can form.
A video pipe inspection enables our plumbers in Arlington to identify the cause of a clogged sewer pipe, and to determine the most efficient means of resolving the situation with a long term, reliable repair.
