Maintaining your home gets you up and running for the day, the shower, the kitchen, the lighting, everything requires maintenance to function smoothly. Pipe inspections falls under the maintenance list and many people tend to ignore it, they only call the plumber when there is a problem.
What is pipe inspection you ask? Well, it is when a plumber uses a camera to inspect your pipes and plumbing status. It helps them to identify if there are any leaks, buildup or potential problem area in your plumbing system.
You may not think it is important to have these inspections so, here’s why pipe inspection is essential and beneficial for you:
1. Detect Pipe Issues
You are peacefully doing your dishes and suddenly the water stops flowing. Maybe something is jamming it, maybe there’s some internal problem. You call the plumber and get it fixed.
If you do regular pipe inspections, these small issues will be detected in the process before turning into a big plumbing issue. Through pipe inspections, small cracks, tree roots, or corrosion that could affect your pipe will be detected and fixed in time.
2. Precise and Accurate
The problem is easily detected, the guessing work is out the window. With the availability of 360 degrees view, accurate data is received, the process is faster and it does not do any further damage to your pipes leading to unnecessary work.
3. Environment friendly
We always try to look for a better alternative to help and save the environment. Through pipe inspection, we can contribute a bit towards it. How you ask? When there is a pipe problem in an underground area, the land is excavated and not every time digging up the ground is needed.
The CCTV inspection points out directly if where the problem lies and gives an accurate area and depth for the digging and sometimes saves the process altogether preventing unnecessary excavation.
4. Saves Time
With the new CCTV pipe inspection, the wait is a lot less. The camera not only captures the problem but also leads to speedier solutions.
After the plumbing is done, you won’t have to wait to see if the problem is fixed or was something else the problem. It is immediately known and if fixed at once saving you time in both trying to identify the problem and fixing it at once.
5. Prevents Plumbing Emergency
Imagine you woke up late, you are taking a shower and all of a sudden, the shower doesn’t work, there’s no water in the kitchen, basically, your water supply has stopped. Now you got to clean up, call your plumber, get ready and you are late for work.
You can save this from happening just by having an annual pipe inspection and being aware of any issue in the plumbing and get a viable solution in time to prevent an emergency situation from occurring.
6. Extend the life of your plumbing
Pipe inspections lets you know when you need to have a pipe cleaning or when there is a requirement to replace old pipes or work in the pipe line. Proper maintenance and cleaning of your pipeline will extend the expected lifespan of your entire pipeline.
7. Can save you from a fine
Did you know your city can fine you if your swear line doesn’t function properly? You will be fined even if you are not the cause of the disruption unless you have proof that you are not the cause.
And the swear cameras come in handy here. During pipe inspection, the footage is recorded and this recording can save you from being fined. Even if it doesn’t, you will have proof and a case to fight against if you are fined.
8. Positive affect on your property value
If you are thinking of selling your property, showing your client a clean swear and pipelines will have a positive impact on them.
Who doesn’t want a home with no plumbing issues. If you are regularly doing pipe inspection, you have a record of maintenance of your pipelines. When the buyer knows they won’t have to worry about the plumbing of the house your property will automatically move upwards in their list.
