Sewer Camera Inspection In Boca Raton

Having to constantly call out a plumber to deal with a persistent blocked drain can be really frustrating for homeowners. In the past, finding the exact cause of a blockage usually meant digging up your beautifully landscaped yard or patio into a construction zone.

Thankfully, a technology now exists that deals brilliantly with both issues. By getting a professional sewer camera inspection in Boca Raton, you can see every detail of what is happening inside your sewer lines without digging up your yard.

If your drains are regularly blocked and acting up, the team at Hardenburgh Plumbing is ready to assist. We use our high-definition, waterproof sewer cameras to travel deep inside your sewer lines and find the root cause of the issues! By conducting a camera inspection in your sewer lines, you’ll be saving yourself, time, money, and unnecessary damage to your valued property.

How Sewer Camera Inspections Work

The benefit of a sewer video camera inspection is that it’s completely non-invasive. One of our highly-skilled master plumbers finds the most convenient access point, known as a cleanout, to gain access to the sewer lines. Once they have located the cleanout, they insert a flexible fiber-optic rod into the line. On the very tip of the rod is a high-resolution video camera that transmits a signal back to a viewing monitor.

The monitor, which is also high-definition, is then carefully watched by the technician as the fiber-optic rod is fed through the pipe until the cause of the blockage is located.

When Should You Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection?

While not every drain or sewer problem requires a camera inspection, there are certain situations where a sewer camera inspection can provide valuable answers. By sending a high-definition camera through the line, our plumbers can identify the exact cause and location of a problem without unnecessary digging or guesswork.

Frequent & Recurring Drain Clogs

As a homeowner you might find that you’re having to plunge the same toilet every week and that the tub continues to drain slowly, or your shower keeps backing up. If this is the case then the weekly plunger job is not fixing the problem, it’s merely treating the symptom. By doing a camera inspection, our technicians reveal the exact structural reason behind the continued blockages.

Common causes of recurring clogs include:

• Collapsed pipe – Old ceramic pipes that have cracked and broken over time are a big culprit here
• Sagging lines – Subsidence causes “bellied” pipes where a valley forms and blocks the flow of sewage out to the main lines
• Heavy build-up of grease and scale – Grease and limescale can both coat the sewer lines over time, throttling the pipes and reducing the flow rate of your sewer lines

Destructive Root Intrusion

Boca Raton’s mature landscaping and tropical vegetation can create challenges for underground sewer lines. Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer pipes through small cracks, joints, or damaged sections of pipe.

Once inside, roots continue to grow and trap debris, eventually creating severe blockages and potentially causing pipe damage. A sewer camera inspection allows our team to locate root intrusion early before it develops into a major sewer repair project.

Sewer Camera Inspections for Home Buyers

A sewer camera inspection can be one of the most valuable inspections performed during the home-buying process. While a standard home inspection evaluates many components of the property, it typically does not provide a detailed view of the underground sewer system.

Hidden sewer line problems can lead to costly repairs after closing. Scheduling a sewer camera inspection before purchasing a home can reveal issues such as root intrusion, pipe deterioration, blockages, or damaged sewer lines. This information can provide peace of mind and may even help you negotiate repairs or pricing with the seller before finalizing the purchase.
