Drain Camera Inspections in San Antonio, Texas | Drain Connection
Some plumbing problems can’t be seen from the surface. Persistent clogs, slow drains, and foul odors are often just symptoms of a more serious, hidden issue deep within your pipes. In the past, diagnosing these problems involved expensive and destructive trial and error. Not anymore.
Drain Connection utilizes state-of-the-art video camera inspection technology to eliminate the guesswork from plumbing. We provide a non-invasive, crystal-clear view inside your pipes to identify the exact cause and location of any problem. For homeowners and businesses across San Antonio, Texas, and its surrounding communities, including Castle Hills, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and La Cantera, we deliver certainty, precision, and peace of mind. You can explore resources like Plumbing Basics on HowStuffWorks to find out the benefits of drain camera inspections.
What is a Drain Camera Inspection?
A drain camera inspection is a modern plumbing technique that utilizes a specially designed, high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible fiber-optic rod. This rod is inserted into your plumbing system through an accessible cleanout port. Our technician then skillfully navigates the camera through your pipes, viewing the real-time video feed on a monitor.
This allows us to see every inch of your pipe’s interior, from your home to the main sewer line, without any digging.
When Do You Need a Video Inspection?
A camera inspection is often the most effective first step in many situations. Call Drain Connection if you are experiencing:
Buying a New Home: A pre-purchase sewer inspection is crucial for uncovering hidden, costly problems before you buy a property.
Retrieving Lost Items: If a valuable item, such as a ring, has been accidentally flushed, we can often locate it using our camera. At the first sign of a clog, call the experts at Drain Connection.
Recurring Clogs: If you have a drain that constantly clogs despite being cleared, a camera inspection can help identify the underlying cause.
Slow Drains: When multiple drains in your home are slow, a camera can pinpoint a blockage in the main sewer line.
Suspected Root Intrusion: If you have large trees on your property, a camera inspection can confirm if their roots have infiltrated and damaged your pipes.
Foul Sewer Odors: Unexplained sewer smells can indicate a cracked or broken pipe, which a camera can easily locate.
Planning a Remodel: Before investing in a kitchen or bathroom renovation, inspect the pipes to ensure they can handle the new demand.
What We Can Uncover: The Power of a Clear View
Our high-definition cameras leave no stone unturned and can accurately identify a wide range of issues, including:
- Leaking Pipe Joints: Detect separated or failing seals between sections of pipe.
- Severe Blockages: Pinpoint the exact location of clogs caused by grease, sludge, and foreign objects.
- Tree Root Intrusion: See exactly where roots have broken through pipe walls.
- Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: Identify structural damage that requires repair or replacement.
- Pipe Corrosion: Assess the internal condition and remaining lifespan of older pipes.
- “Bellied” or Sunken Pipes: Find sections of pipe that have sunk due to soil conditions, causing waste to collect.
