Camera Inspections

When it comes to reliable drain cleaning, there’s no better way to ensure the health of your pipes than with camera inspections. Kingston Plumbing & Heating, Inc.’s drain cleaning services use camera inspections to quickly, easily, and accurately identify the source of your plumbing problem. Our high-resolution camera scopes out the inside of your sewer pipes deeper than the eye can see. With help from advanced camera inspection technologies, Kingston Plumbing & Heating, Inc. can resolve your sewer line issue in no time.

When Do Plumbers Use Camera Inspections?

Camera inspections allow us to view the insides of pipes that are in cement, beneath your home’s foundation, and underground. The camera’s flexible rod can maneuver a pipe’s twists and turns easily, even in pipes as small as two inches in diameter. Thanks to radio transmitter technology, the camera can record the exact physical location and depth of the issue, taking the guesswork out of plumbing repairs. Our camera inspections reach tough places that would otherwise be impossible to see without opening the pipes.

A home or business owner might need a camera inspection service if he or she experiences repeated clogs, slow draining, and drain line backups. These problems point to an issue deep within the sewage system. Camera inspections are the most efficient way to solve deep-pipe issues. At Kingston Plumbing & Heating, Inc., customers have also used camera inspections to find lost jewelry and valuables fallen down drains. Camera inspections can even be used to locate animals trapped or lost in pipe systems.

At Kingston Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we recommend that all homeowners invest in camera inspections before moving in to a new home. This quick and easy service can save you a bundle in the future by catching cracked pipes and clogs before it causes a significant plumbing problem. After a camera inspection of your pipes, you can move into your new home with peace of mind. If you do need repairs, take advantage of our limited-time $25.00 off any repair coupon.

What to Expect During Camera Inspections

The first thing our plumbers will do when we arrive at your home is assess your plumbing problem. We do this with our cameras – the most popular way to inspect a clogged pipe. During this process, we’ll feed a flexible cable through your pipes.

The fiber-optic cable has a small waterproof camera attached to the end of it, which can record and send high-resolution video of your pipes in real-time. The small camera won’t damage your pipes, and it eliminates the guesswork of older plumbing methods. Instead of digging up your pipes and crossing our fingers that we have the right location, camera inspections let us know the site of the problem for sure.

As the camera transmits a live video feed of the deep insides of your pipes, our camera operator determines the location of the problem. There are bright lights on the cable to illuminate the inside of your system, so it’s easy to locate issues. We can save your video to replay for you and for further inspection. When the camera operator examines the video feed, he or she will be looking for:

• Debris that may cause a blockage. If we see grease buildup, bulky waste, or something else clogging your pipes, we’ll know how to conduct repairs. We’ll use one of our excellent drain cleaning methods to remove the debris, choosing the best solution depending on the type of blockage. Review all our plumbing and drain cleaning services.
• Tree roots infiltrating your system. A common plumbing problem we see blocking sewer pipes are tree roots breaking into the pipes from underground. If tree or plant roots have worked their way into your system, we can remove the roots and repair your pipes.
• Pipe damage. We’ll look for pipes that are broken, corroded, cracked, or collapsed. A shift in the ground surrounding your pipes can cause these issues, especially if your pipes are older. We’ll also check for broken seals between your pipes as well as pipes that aren’t properly aligned. These issues can all cause leaks.

The high-resolution video of camera inspection allows our team to accurately assess the issue and come up with an appropriate solution on the spot. As soon as we determine the cause of your plumbing problem, it’s easy to list the options for repairs or replacements. We’ll either unclog your pipes, replace broken sections, or suggest a complete re-piping. As Master Plumbers, we have the equipment and training to complete every type of plumbing repair.
