General Albany Plumbing & Rooter has a sewer video camera with the capability of running 100 feet of sewer line. This can help diagnose problems with blockage or broken lines which may be caused by:
- Tree roots
- Damaged pipe
- Foreign objects
- Bellies or bows in the pipe
While no one really wants to see the inside of their home's sewer line, it is sometimes imperative for plumbers to be fully aware of the condition of these pipes. Roots, collapses, breaks, and bellies can cause catastrophic damage to sewer line function and condition. You probably won't even be aware of any existing issues until your home's drains begin to slow, and eventually back up completely. After you've called General Albany Plumbing & Rooter to clear your lines, we will camera your sewer line at no additional charge. This is because we consider this process to be a necessary step in the maintenance of your sewer system. Our sewer camera equipment offers the latest technology in the field, being digital and full-color, and offering long range inspection and location possibilities.
Once the line is clear and we have inserted the camera, we can observe your sewer line in its entirety, finding any problems which may have contributed to your stoppage. Older homes had cast iron or clay sewer lines, and this piping was subject to root penetration and collapse. Once we have located the source of the problem, we can prescribe the best remedy for the situation, being either repair or replacement. The use of a sewer camera also reduces costs all around. You, the customer, pay less because we can dig and expose only the damaged section of piping without having to search your entire yard. This saves not only on our costs, but on landscaping repairs as well.
Overall, sewer camera inspection is a necessary part of any sewer repair job. It saves time, money, and frustration from both parties, and offers further insight to your sewer problems.
