Video Camera Inspections

Using specialized camera equipment, Express Plumbing offers a wide range of video inspection services from 2” to 60” lines.

 

Inspections can be made in any direction up to 1,000 feet, depending on the pipe diameter and condition.  With real-time inspections, you can see any deficiency with the system, including damaged or offset joints, collapsed pipe, reverse grade, root intrusion, and blockages.

 

A Drain Video Inspection can reveal the condition deep in the plumbing system and detect problems like roots that have penetrated the drain.


Video camera inspections pinpoint problems like these:

  • Broken, cracked or collapsed pipe — damaged pipes requiring repair or replacement.
  • Offset pipe — sewer pipes have become misaligned due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, etc.
  • Blockage — grease buildup or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
  • Corrosion — the pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing sections to collapse and restrict water flow.
  • Bellied pipe — a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
  • Leaking joints — the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
  • Root infiltration — tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line, preventing normal cleaning and/or roots have damaged the pipe.
  • Off-grade pipe — existing pipes are constructed of substandard or outdated material that may have deteriorated or corroded.
