Video Pipe Inspection in King of Prussia & West Chester, PA
Plumbers once had to do plenty of guesswork to solve problems down in the pipes and drains of a house. These were often educated guesses, but because the plumbers couldn’t see the inside of the pipes, they were still guesses.
Those times are gone because of the technology now available that allows plumbers to examine household plumbing from the inside: video pipe inspection equipment.
Signature HVAC is the plumbing contractor serving West Chester, PA, to call when you need service that may require a drain camera inspection or sewer camera inspection.
We have a staff of highly trained professionals with the best in miniaturized video camera equipment who can provide service that’s fast and accurate. We offer on-time service in hours, not days, and we aim for 100% customer satisfaction on every job.
What Is a Video Pipe Inspection?
Modern plumbing equipment uses digital miniaturization techniques to examine pipes and sewer lines from the inside. A digital video camera and LED light are mounted at the end of a long fiber optic cable that the plumber can snake down a drain or a sewer cleanout.
The cable is long enough for the plumber to inspect the entire length of a sewer line if necessary. The video camera sends back images to a monitor for the plumber to see and record.
This equipment makes many plumbing jobs faster and more precise. Here are several ways plumbers can put this technology to work:
- Finding the exact location of hidden leaks and determining the best way to fix them
- Examining the nature of clogs deep in the plumbing so the plumbers can find the best way to remove them
- Determining the general condition of pipes, water mains, and sewer lines for the purposes of repiping
- Recording the completion of a plumbing job to show to clients so they know the service was done correctly
Do I Need to Hire a Professional to Perform a Video Pipe Inspection?
You might think you could purchase video pipe inspection equipment yourself, but this isn’t feasible. This a specialized and extremely expensive tool that requires training to operate and to interpret the results it sends back.
When you have plumbing concerns in your house, you only need to call our plumbers and they’ll do whatever work is necessary to resolve the problem fast and determine whether a drain camera inspection will help.
What Is a Sewer Line Video Camera?
Nowhere is video pipe inspection equipment more helpful than when it comes to a sewer line inspection. Sewer lines are hard to access without digging up property to reach them, so sending a camera down through a clean-out to examine them for damage or root infiltration saves time and returns quick answers.
When you believe you have a damaged sewer line, call Signature HVAC and we’ll use a sewer camera to diagnose the problem and determine the best solution. We’ve built our reputation in West Chester, PA, on our superb customer service and getting jobs done right the first time.
