Sewer camera inspection

At BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air, we offer quality sewer camera inspection in Colorado Springs, CO. This helps us identify specific issues with our clients’ sewer lines, making the repair or replacement process easier, faster, and more effective. That said, there are limits to what we can find during an inspection. We discuss these further below:

What an Inspection Can Find

One of the main things the inspection finds is the location of sewer lines. If a client wants to add drainage systems, replace their plumbing systems, conduct a foundation repair, or level their home, a pipe inspection is vital to identify where the old pipes are to avoid damaging them.

A sewer inspection also helps us diagnose pipe connections and identify issues like sagging, shifting, and corrosion. We also identify clogs, their location, and their extent, helping us decide the best way to deal with them. It also helps us identify tree root intrusion into the pipes, one of the main issues people deal with.

When moving into a new house, a plumbing inspection is vital. It helps us identify the type and age of the pipes to help our clients determine whether they need to replace them and the best way to take care of them.

What an Inspection Can’t Find

Unlike many people’s beliefs, a line inspection cannot help locate a leak. Since the camera is usually inside the pipe, it does not get the perspective from the outside. Therefore, it only sees what is inside or gets into the line.

Also, most pipes are usually PVC or cast iron with thick walls. Therefore, sometimes our plumbers might see what looks like a hole or crack in the pipe, but in a real sense, it is a dent in the pipe, and waste does not get through it. Therefore, we don’t primarily rely on the camera when looking for leaks.
