How are Cameras Used in Plumbing Repair?
When it comes to plumbing repair, video cameras have become an essential tool at New Age Plumbing. Now that waterproof cameras are available, guess work is a thing of the past for our team. When other plumbers go through a long process of troubleshooting, we don’t. A certified technician can use a camera to locate the exact obstruction in a pipe. Or they may find a multitude of other problems. Using a camera makes the process of fixing the problem much faster and smoother.
How Does a Plumber Use a Video Camera?
A certified plumber or a Master Plumber can use a camera to spot problems in hard to reach places. A technician will carefully feed the camera on the tip of a flexible rod or cord into the pipe. This is so the video camera can travel through the bends and curves of the plumbing system. The technician watches real-time video images. Then, they can determine the necessary plumbing repairs. Experts will lay eyes on actual cracks, obstructions, root penetration, buildup, misaligned pipes, or other problems. The certainty of actual pictures gives technicians the confidence to offer quality and thorough service. Not only that, the service is completed much faster due to identifying the problem with such ease. At the end of the day, both you and your plumber benefit from this technology.
Dropped Item Retrieval
A plumber can also use video cameras to retrieve lost items. They will often use a camera to find jewelry that has fallen down the drain. We know dropping a beloved heirloom or wedding ring down the drain can seem hopeless. However, there isn’t really a job too big or hard for our plumbers. Cameras can provide images of where the jewelry is in order for a plumber to safely pull it out. The job can get done with so much less guesswork.
Camera for Backup and Repeated Clogs
Drain line backups or repeated clogs are a few indications of problems that require camera work. Therefore, at New Age Plumbing we remain up-to-date with the latest plumbing repair technologies. We aren’t afraid to learn and use new items as long as it means providing thorough service. If you have backup or suspect an obstruction or root penetration in your plumbing system, give us a call.
