We get it — the sewer is probably not your favorite topic of conversation. We know that not everyone loves talking about the down and dirty of a system that is literally down and dirty. But, at some point, you may be unable to avoid an issue with your sewer line. Fortunately, gone are the days of intrusively digging into the ground to reach pipe blockages. Plumbing technologies such as camera inspection and trenchless sewer repair have drastically reduced the amount of stress Seattleites feel when it comes to sewer problems. Today, our focus is on the sewer camera. As skilled providers of camera sewer inspection in Seattle, Price Busters Plumbing & Sewer has the skinny on the hows and whys of utilizing video cameras for your pipework.
How It Works
It’s just the nature of the beast when it comes to owning a property. Your drains start to slow and clog, and you find yourself running the gamut of DIY plumbing tips. While there is certainly nothing wrong with taking matters into your own hands, you may come to the point where professional help is absolutely necessary.
The process of camera inspection involves a fiber optic cable with a camera at the end. The camera is inserted into a pipe and a live picture feed is sent to a technician. He or she is then able to see the inner workings of the pipe in vivid detail. When we perform camera sewer inspection in Seattle, we look for several major issues:
-
Collapsed lines
The cause of this can be twofold: Either the pipe is too old, or it was improperly installed to the point where it gets crushed under the weight of the ground or objects above it.
-
Blocked pipes
Whether a property is residential or commercial, problematic materials (grease, hair, food, etc.) can build up and result in sewer pipe clogs.
-
Leaks and cracks of all sizes
Even a small crack and leak is a big concern; it can blow up into a huge problem in the long run.
-
Tree infiltration
This tends to be a problem in Seattle. The trees are gorgeous, but their roots can get into pipes and cause blockages and damage.
-
Pipe corrosion
Rust is a corrosive enemy of pipes!
The Benefits of Camera Sewer Inspection in Seattle
Really, non-invasive camera technology is advantageous anywhere; however, since we spend all our time in the Greater Seattle and Puget Sound area, we know what matters most to our clientele:
Time
Traditional (or maybe we should call it “old school”) methods for sewer inspection involve digging into the ground or a wall and somewhat guesstimating where the issue is. Obviously, you can imagine how much longer this takes than just snaking a high-tech camera through a pipe.
Money
Excavation is expensive. Not to mention, you have to pay even more to repair the disturbed ground, yard, or wall. Inspection with a camera doesn’t require this kind of work. We’re talking possibly thousands of dollars in savings here!
Accuracy

The process is also great when purchasing a new home (helps in determining value) or performing a bathroom remodel (locating drain lines). Plus, it’s useful in simply checking the state of your sewer system for maintenance or preventative reasons.
