How Video Pipe Inspection Gets to the Bottom of Plumbing Problems

Only a few short years ago, plumbing was still largely reliant on old fashioned tools and a quality work ethic. Those factors haven’t changed, but technology in our culture has advanced at an astonishing rate lately, and that applies to the plumbing industry too. Nowhere is that more apparent than with the advent of video pipe inspection, which is an invaluable tool for getting to the bottom of countless plumbing-based issues. Here’s a quick outline of how it all works.

What It Does

Every cell phone these days has its own light and video camera, most of which are smaller than your fingernail. It’s helped create a revolution in communication and data-sharing, as well as letting you record funny moments with your family or pets to share. But you can also apply that same technology to plumbing. Video camera inspection lets you run the camber on a flexible cable into the plumbing pipe itself, which the plumber monitors it with a tablet. That provides an excellent look at the problem and lets the plumber devise the perfect solution.

How Is That Beneficial?

Before video camera inspection, pinpointing the problem was often a matter of educated guesswork. A plumber could only estimate the exact location of a clog, for instance, and needed to use a motorized snake or similar tool to determine what was causing the clog. A leak was easier to spot, but it was tough to tell if that leak was an isolated incident, or whether corrosion had occurred throughout the pipe length itself. That can have a drastic effect on the extent and cost of the repair job. Video pipe inspection ensures that repairs will be more accurate, faster and that they last longer.
