Sewer Camera Inspections

As part of our comprehensive plumbing solutions at Siemer Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we use state-of-the-art video drain camera inspection technology to take the guesswork out of plumbing diagnostics. By sending a high-resolution camera directly into your pipes, we can see exactly what is causing your issue in real-time, saving you time, money, and unnecessary damage to your property.

As the camera travels through the plumbing, it sends a live video feed back to a monitor. This allows our technicians to visually inspect the entire length of the pipe, pinpoint the exact depth and location of the problem, and determine the most effective solution.

Signs You Need a Drain Camera Inspection Service

You don’t always need a camera to fix a simple clogged sink. However, there are signs of deeper plumbing issues best addressed by a drain inspection that you should be aware of. It is time to schedule a professional drain camera service if you notice any of the following warning signs:

  • Frequent backups 
  • Foul odors
  • Slow draining throughout the house
  • Unusually lush grass

You should also schedule a drain camera inspection before purchasing an older home to make sure there’s nothing wrong deep within its plumbing. 

By catching these warning signs early and getting a visual confirmation, you can stop a minor underground leak from turning into a major sewage flood in your home.

What Can a Pipe Camera Inspection Find?

Because we can see directly inside the line, a pipe camera inspection reveals the exact nature of the blockage or damage. During our pipe camera inspections, we commonly uncover:

Tree Root Intrusion: 

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can easily crush or grow through the joints of older sewer pipes.

Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: 

Shifting soil, freezing ground, and old age can cause pipes to crack, separate, or cave in.

“Bellied” Lines: 

A “bellied line,” or “sewer line belly,” is a sag or dip in a pipe where a section drops below the surrounding grade, causing water and waste to accumulate rather than flow freely.

Severe Grease and Grime Buildup: 

Years of pouring fats, oils, and soap scum down the drain can slowly choke off the diameter of the pipe.

Once we know exactly what we are dealing with, we can confidently recommend whether you simply need a thorough Drain Cleaning, a targeted Pipe Repair, or a more permanent Repiping solution.
