Why Drain Camera Inspections Are Important for Drain Cleaning

In order to keep your home’s drain lines working smoothly, they need to be properly cleaned every few years (if not every year).

Sure signs that your drain lines need to be cleaned are slow flow or backed up tubs and sinks. There are many different ways to unclog and clean sewer drain lines, but one of the most effective includes the use of a sewer line camera, or video pipe inspection.

Why are video pipe inspections so important to drain cleaning?

Video pipe inspections prior to a drain cleaning service help the plumber to locate any issues or trouble areas. Marking the exact location of buildups or blockages will help to make the cleaning process more efficient.

Once the drain cleaning service is complete, the plumber will conduct a second video pipe inspection to ensure that the sewer line was cleaned properly, that all blockages have been removed, and that all leaks have been properly sealed. This second inspection provides you peace-of-mind that the job was done right and your drain line is in great working order, ready for use.

Why should I find a drain cleaning service near me to have my drains cleaned yearly?

It is possible that your home’s plumbing system could go 5 years or even a decade without experiencing any major problems. However, if you let it go on this long, you may find yourself with a significantly more costly repair. It’s better to be proactive than reactive and keep your drains and drain lines flowing smoothly.
