We use the most advanced technology and tools available for\nall the plumbing services we provide. The plumbing industry moves fast with new\nadvances, and we\u2019ve been in the industry for almost forty years\u2014there have been\nnumerous big shifts in technology during that time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important tool developments for plumbing is digital video and miniaturization technology that allows for video pipe inspection equipment. We often use video pipe inspection during a range of jobs. We\u2019re going to explain in a bit more depth what video pipe inspections are and when you may need this service done for your plumbing in Laguna Niguel, CA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Tiny Camera on a Cable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the extremely<\/em> short description of what video\npipe inspection equipment is. This tool allows a technician to send a miniaturized\ndigital camera down into pipes so they can be examined from the inside\u2014once something\nthat would be thought impossible. Today, we can mount an HD digital camera onto\nthe end of a long fiber-optic cable, along with a powerful LED light, and then feed\nthat cable into a drain or a clean-out. The cables are long enough to allow a technician\nto examine the entire length of a home\u2019s sewer line if necessary. The images\nfrom the camera are sent back to monitors, and the technician can record the inspection\nto show to a customer later.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When This Is Useful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking about when you would need to schedule\nvideo pipe inspection, you\u2019re sort of asking the wrong question. This equipment\nis used for a variety of different services. For example, one question you\nmight ask: \u201cAre roots clogging up my sewer line?\u201d We can answer that question\nfor you by using video cameras to look inside the sewer line. Before this\ntechnology, we would have to dig down to reach the sewer line to examine it.\nNow we can find out what kind of trouble your sewer line has quickly and\nwithout any digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another question: \u201cWhy are drains slow?\u201d We can examine the\ndrains in your house with video pipe inspection equipment and discover if you\u2019ve\ngot build-up and what kind. We\u2019ll know exactly how to tackle the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also use video pipe inspection to see if your pipes\nneed to be replaced because of damage. Since so many of your pipes are hidden down\nin the walls and ceilings, it\u2019s easier for us to examine them from the inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another use for video pipe inspection is in leak detection. Once we narrow down where we think a leak is occurring, the video cameras can give us an exact spot. This lets us fix the leak with a minimal amount of excavating into your walls and floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t have to worry about how a job will get done when you call on our team. We always bring the best equipment and know how to diagnose the issue so the work will be done accurately and without major disruption to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
