Drain & Sewer Camera Inspections for Arizona Homeowners
Maintaining a healthy plumbing system in Arizona isn’t easy. Intrusive tree roots and intense heat all put your system to the test. It’s important to have a plumbing partner you can go to when things get murky. That’s where Alaskan Air Conditioning & Heating comes in.
We use modern technology, including drain and sewer camera inspections in Phoenix and Tucson, to get a high-definition look at what’s going on within your pipes and identify any problems. If you’re dealing with recurring drain clogs, a camera inspection can help figure out what’s going on.
Common Reasons for Camera Inspections
Most of us don’t think to check on the quality of our sewers until we encounter a serious problem. And when those problems do pop up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of an invasive inspection to find the source of the issue. A camera inspection can quickly identify and locate common plumbing problems. With the high definition output, we can also clearly see the cause and extent, and make a plan to fix it.
Here are common reasons that Arizona homeowners schedule drain and sewer camera inspections.
- Identify invasive tree roots that are growing into your pipes.
- Locate stubborn clogs caused by a buildup of grease, hair, or foreign objects.
- Inspect the condition of older pipes that may be collapsing or cracking.
- Check the condition of pipes before buying the home.
- Verify that a recent plumbing repair or cleaning was successful and the line is completely clear.
How Camera Inspections Work
Inspecting a sewer line used to be anything but simple. The process used to be invasive and messy, requiring plenty of digging. Now, with more modern technology like sewer camera inspections, the process is quick and painless. With specialized equipment, we’re able to navigate even the twistiest pipes to inspect your entire plumbing system.
Camera Access
The process starts with finding an access point for the camera, which is most often the main sewer cleanout. Once we have our point of entry, we prep the camera and make sure it’s sending us a high-definition, real-time view of the interior of the pipe.
Real-Time Video
As we feed the camera through the line, a live video stream is sent to our team to review. The camera head is equipped with LED lights that show us any cracks, scale buildup, or structural shifts. We keep track of the distance that the camera travels so we know exactly where any problems are located.
Summary
After everything is said and done, we’ll provide a summary of what we found and the video recording. The video removes any mystery and gives us all a clear picture of what exactly is happening in your plumbing system. From here we recommend the most effective and least invasive solution for any issues.
