For decades, diagnosing plumbing problems was largely a game of guesswork. Plumbers had to rely on symptoms and experience to determine what was happening inside hidden pipes. Today, that guessing game is over. At Judd's Plumbing, we use advanced camera inspection technology to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. This revolutionary approach transforms how we diagnose and solve plumbing problems, saving you time, money, and unnecessary damage to your property.
A plumbing camera inspection involves feeding a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible fiber-optic cable into your pipes. As the camera travels through your plumbing system, it transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our technicians to see exactly what's happening inside. This technology lets us visually inspect every inch of your pipes without digging up your yard or tearing down walls.
Our technician will locate the best access point to your pipes, typically through a cleanout, roof vent, or toilet drain. We ensure the camera and cable are clean and functioning properly before beginning the inspection.
The flexible cable, with its high-resolution camera on the end, is carefully fed into your plumbing system. As it travels, the camera records its journey, showing us:
While the camera moves through your pipes, our technician monitors the live feed, identifying issues and documenting their exact location. The camera equipment includes a transmitter that allows us to mark the precise depth and location of any problems—even through concrete or soil.
We record the entire inspection and can show you exactly what we found. This visual evidence eliminates any doubt about what's happening in your plumbing system and what repairs are necessary.
Hidden Blockages: We can identify the exact nature and location of clogs, whether they're caused by grease buildup, foreign objects, or mineral deposits.
Tree Root Intrusion: Camera inspections show us exactly where roots have entered your pipes and how extensive the problem has become.
Pipe Damage: We can identify cracks, holes, collapsed sections, and corrosion that need attention before they cause major problems.
Structural Issues: The camera reveals bellied pipes (sagging sections that trap debris), misaligned joints, and other structural concerns.
Pre-Purchase Assessments: Before buying a property, a camera inspection can reveal potential plumbing issues that might cost thousands to repair.
Recurring Clogs: If you have frequent drain problems, a camera inspection can identify the underlying cause.
Slow Drains Throughout Your Home: When multiple drains are slow, there's likely an issue with your main sewer line.
Unusual Noises: Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets often indicate ventilation problems or blockages.
Sewer Odors: Persistent sewer smells suggest cracks or breaks in your pipes.
Before Major Plumbing Investments: If you're considering repiping or other significant plumbing work, a camera inspection ensures you're addressing the right problems.
After a Plumbing Emergency: Following a major backup or other emergency, an inspection can identify any remaining issues.
Accuracy: There's no more guessing about what's causing your plumbing problems. We see the issue directly and can plan the most effective solution.
Cost Savings: By accurately diagnosing problems, we avoid unnecessary digging or exploratory demolition that drives up repair costs.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular camera inspections can identify small issues before they become major emergencies.
Documentation: The recorded inspection provides visual proof of your pipes' condition, which is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and warranty purposes.
Faster Repairs: Knowing exactly what's wrong and where the problem is located means we can complete repairs more efficiently.
While some homeowners consider renting inspection equipment, professional camera inspections offer significant advantages. Our technicians have the training to interpret what they're seeing and understand how different issues affect your plumbing system. We also use industrial-grade equipment that provides clearer images and better maneuverability than consumer-grade options.
With camera inspection technology, you no longer have to wonder what's happening inside your pipes. You'll see the evidence for yourself and understand exactly what needs to be repaired and why. This transparency ensures you get the right solution for your specific plumbing problem.
