Game of Pipes: Do You Know Your Plumbing System?

The plumbing system in your home is as important as the heart pumps blood in your body to ensure you go about your normal activities. However, when something is off – be it a clog that no one knows how it got there or a leak that went unnoticed – it causes chaos in the blink of an eye. That is where plumbing camera inspections come into play.

At Reliable Plumbing Source And Drains Pvt Ltd, we pride ourselves on dealing with the unknown and making your plumbing systems understandable to homeowners in Canada. But do you know as much about the pipes that are in your home?

Welcome to our thrilling tour of your plumbing system and a chance to learn how drain camera inspection can be your key to avoiding expensive repairs.

1. A World Under Your Feet

When it comes to plumbing, most of us visualize sinks, faucets, and at most a couple of pipes that may have burst. But there is a whole world hidden beneath your floors and walls. Your plumbing system is a network of pipes that brings fresh water in and takes waste water out of your house. These pipes, however, may undergo blockage, cracking, or even invasion by tree roots over time.

This is where sewer camera inspections come in. With the help of this technology, our cameras get into your pipes and show you what is going on at the moment. It is like having a map that shows you where to look for plumbing problems before they become huge problems.

2. How Do You Know That Your Pipes Are in Trouble?

Unfortunately, your plumbing system is likely to show signs of failure before a major crisis develops. Watch out for:

• Slow drain in the sink or shower.

• Frequent blockage or need for regular cleaning of toilets.

• Unusual sound like gurgling from the pipes.

• Bad smells coming from the drainages.

If you have experienced any of these problems, then a camera inspection will give you the solution you require. Plumbing camera inspections are not invasive, unlike other conventional techniques that may require guesswork or digging, making it easier for you to save time, money, and energy.

3. How does drain camera inspection work?

Let’s break it down simply. The professional technicians at Reliable Plumbing Source And Drains Pvt Ltd employ a miniature, waterproof camera, mounted on a flexible cable. This camera is fitted into your drain or sewer line and then is pushed through the pipe system.

The camera transmits the images to a monitor and we can see blockage, crack, or any other problem that may be hiding. We can identify from the camera inspection whether it is a clump of grease tree root intrusion or even a collapsed pipe.

4. Why Camera Inspections are Better Than Traditional Techniques?

Problems with plumbing in the past meant a lot of guesswork – digging up gardens, removing lengths of pipe, or even part of your house to find out where the problem was. Well, those days are gone with plumbing camera inspections.

Here’s why they’re a game-changer:

• Where there is an issue with a structure, no guesswork is needed; the camera reveals the location.

• Do not waste time trying to solve the issue as this will take much of your time.

• Do not dig up the ground or make repairs where they are not necessary.

• This way one can ensure that the problems are found early enough before they become costly.

5. Sewer Camera Inspection: Common Issues

Want to know what we come across most often during our inspections? Here are some common culprits:

• Tree Roots: These can penetrate through old pipes and thus lead to major blockages.

• Grease Buildup: A frequent problem of kitchen drains.

• Pipe Corrosion: These pipes are made from metal and hence with time they rust and this causes a lot of leakage.

• Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: This is mostly a result of soil movements or deterioration of the structures that support them.

• Foreign Objects: Oh, from kids’ toys to items that should not be flushed, we have heard it all.

6. Be Proactive, Not Reactive

At Reliable Plumbing Source And Drains Pvt Ltd, it is our policy to prevent problems from occurring. The best way to prevent problems is to perform routine sewer camera inspections. If you are a first-time homebuyer, or you think you have a plumbing issue, or you simply want to ensure that your pipes are in good shape, then a drain camera inspection is a good idea.

Never let a blockage in your drain cause a terrible day for you. If you schedule an inspection today, you are not only solving the current issues but also avoiding the ones in the future.
