Preventing Drain Clogs with a Camera Inspection

Clogs and leaks are a common plumbing problem, but they can be a major inconvenience in your home. Some obvious problems can be fixed with a plunger, but others may be hard to detect until they escalate. For severe clogs or blockages, you may need professional assistance. Luckily, Jones Services is equipped with the tools to inspect your plumbing and fix clogs and blockages.

Benefits of a Camera Inspection

During a camera inspection, a plumber uses a waterproof camera that’s attached to a small and flexible sewer cable. The plumber then inserts this tool into a plumbing access point (Likely a toilet in your home) for a visual inspection of your pipes insides. Your plumbing is a complicated system, and most of it is inaccessible behind walls or underground. A camera inspection is a non-invasive and gentle method of checking up on them. In addition to locating clogs, here are some other ways that a camera inspection can benefit you:

• Accuracy. It doesn’t get more accurate or precise than a camera inspection. A plumber can visually inspect your plumbing to pinpoint the exact location and cause of your clog. It gives you a speedy diagnosis while saving you money on more extensive work.
• Prevention. Camera inspections aren’t just for finding clogs and leaks. A Jones professional will be able to see other problems, like cracks, pest infestations, and other causes for concern.
• Less labor. Before camera inspections, plumbers would have to dig to get to your pipes. Digging and other construction can be invasive and costly, so a camera inspection saves you the money and hassle that construction would cost.

Signs You Need a Camera Inspection

Some plumbing problems occur near the surface, making them easier to take care of. However, the whole system is connected to the main sewer line. In other words, the deeper the clog, the harder it will be to fix. Because blockages can escalate quickly, it’s important for you to know when to call a plumber. Here are some signs that you should watch out for:

• Slow drains. Are you having problems with a sink or shower that drains very slowly? If so, you may have a clog. If several water fixtures are experiencing drainage problems at once, you should call a professional to find the area of concern.
• Pests. Critters and creepy crawlers are never welcome guests. If you notice an abundance of them, they may be coming from a crack in your sewer line. Cockroaches, mice, and even rats can squeeze through small faults.
• An unusually high water bill. If your utilities skyrocket out of nowhere, a hidden leak may be the culprit. A camera inspection will be able to locate it for an easy fix.
• Sewage backup. All waste water should flow down your pipes and away from your home. If it flows in the opposite direction, you may have an unpleasant situation. If it seems like backups occur every time you flush a toilet or use a sink, the problem could be in your sewer line.
• Foul odors. Your plumbing should never be smelly! If you’re smelling sewage or strange odors around your home, a camera inspection will figure out why.
• Mold or mildew. If you see or smell mold and mildew (an unpleasant, musty odor), call a professional ASAP. Not only is it bad for your health, it grows at a rapid rate. This often occurs around a leaky pipe.
