It really would be an ideal world if you could see inside your plumbing and sewer system, wouldn’t it? You would be able to schedule repair work, find out if there is something clogging your pipes and see exactly where the damage is so you know exactly where to dig when it comes time for repairs.
The pursuit of the ideal world is why the sewer inspection camera was invented. The ability to see inside a pipe without a major construction project was a revelation to plumbers, construction companies and municipalities across the country.
If we all had our way, we would be able to call up a live picture of what’s going on anywhere in our plumbing system any time we like. Unfortunately, we don’t live in such a world just yet, so we have to pick and choose the times when we think we’ll need a sewer camera inspection service.

Buying
If you are in the market for a house, and you’ve narrowed your choices down to one or two locations, you’ve just discovered one of the best times for a complete inspection of a plumbing system with a sewer camera service.
Nothing will take the smile out of owning a home faster than finding out there is a nest of ferrets or a three-inch-wide tree root in your sewer pipes. A good time to find out about these extra features in your plumbing system is before you go into escrow, not when something wicked this way comes out of your kitchen sink the night of your housewarming party.
Pressure Troubles
If you find your water pressure is suddenly appearing and disappearing, you may either have some damage in your system or you might have buildup or an obstruction somewhere. This is what sewer cameras were invented for, so make sure you get a look at whatever might be going on inside your pipes.
One of the toughest things for a plumber in Fontana to figure out is where a leak might have formed inside your plumbing system. Without potentially expensive detective work, finding a small or obscured leak can be a huge undertaking. But with a camera inspection, finding such a leak is much easier.
Time Passage
Proper maintenance doctrine demands any mechanical device, even one as relatively simple as a sewer pipe, be inspected for damage or wear on a regular basis by a Fontana plumber. If too much time has passed since your last opportunity to take a look at what’s going on in your sewer pipes, it’s probably a good time to schedule a camera inspection.
At the very least you might be able to identify locations in your drainage system that might become problems in the future. Best to head off potential expense and damage before it becomes an issue. As we all know, mechanical problems that aren’t addressed become breakdowns, and one thing everyone can agree on is avoiding a backed up sewer system.
The best practice for homeowners and building owners is to work with a plumber who has considerable experience with camera inspections. Make sure you take advantage of expertise when it is available. That will give you the best chance of success.
