Homeowners love plumbing camera inspection services because it gives them a chance to see things for themselves. This equipment is not always the best diagnostic solution, though. For instance, if we need to service a gas line under 1 inch in diameter, inspecting it with a camera is not the best option. We have more effective methods. However, there are some situations that are perfectly suited to the use of this equipment. Below, you can find some of the situations where we commonly use our video camera equipment.
Identifying the Source of a Blockage
Camera plumbing inspections are a perfect way to identify the source of a blockage. Clogs near your drain’s mouth may be easy to identify with a snake or rooter. However, when blockages occur deep within your plumbing system, it can be more difficult to identify the source. When we insert a camera into your plumbing, we can visually inspect the source of a clog. Once we know what is causing a clog, we can offer you the most reliable solutions for removing it. We can also help you create a maintenance plan that reduces the likelihood of similar clogs occurring in the future.
Inspecting Plumbing Before Buying a Home
When you purchase a home, you want to thoroughly understand your future expenses as a homeowner. Future plumbing repairs can be a major drain on your budget. Many buyers purchase a house only to find out later that they need to replace the sewer line, install a new water line, or pay for some other costly project. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Pomona Valley can examine your potential home with plumbing inspection camera services to help you understand the condition of a home’s plumbing. This way, you can purchase a home with a full understanding of its value and potential future expenses.
Retrieving Lost Items
The moment you drop something valuable down the drain, you might feel yourself panicking. It can be incredibly stressful to lose a wedding ring or some other irreplaceable item in your plumbing system. We can often help, though. One of the most difficult parts of retrieving lost items in your plumbing system is locating them. That’s where our video camera equipment can really save the day. We can use this equipment to pinpoint the location of your lost items. Once we know where your lost item is, we have equipment that allows us to recover it.
