If your Tallahassee drains are frequently slow, back up, or make noise, the issue may be deep in your sewer line, caused by shifting soil, tree roots, grease, or wear. Since these pipes are buried, a sewer camera inspection (video pipe inspection) may be necessary to see inside without digging up your yard.
At Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, we offer a FREE Sewer Camera Inspection to give homeowners clear answers about the condition of their plumbing.
What Happens During a Sewer Camera Inspection
Video pipe inspections in Tallahassee, FL are a simple and noninvasive way to examine the inside of your pipes. During a video pipe inspection, our Peaden Pros insert a small waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your sewer line. The camera travels through the pipe while sending live video to a monitor. This allows our technicians to carefully monitor the pipe’s condition from the inside.
Because the camera provides a clear visual view of the pipe interior, a video pipe inspection removes the guesswork that used to come with diagnosing sewer problems.
Problems a Video Pipe Inspection Can Reveal
Many sewer line issues develop slowly over time and remain hidden underground until they start causing noticeable problems inside your home. A sewer camera inspection can reveal what is happening before the situation becomes more serious.
Some of the common issues our Peaden Pros see during inspections include:
- Tree roots growing into pipes through small openings
- Grease and debris are building up along the pipe walls
- Cracks or damaged sections of pipe
- Pipes that have shifted out of alignment
- Low spots in the pipe where water collects
- Corrosion in older metal pipes
Even small issues within the sewer line can lead to slow drains or recurring clogs if left unaddressed.
Understanding What the Inspection Shows
One of the most helpful parts of a sewer camera inspection is being able to actually see what is happening inside your pipes. Our Peaden Pros will walk you through the video and explain what the camera found in simple terms.
For example, the camera might show a section of pipe where water tends to pool rather than flow smoothly. This can happen when the pipe settles slightly over time. In other cases, tree roots may have grown into the pipe through small cracks, slowly blocking the line as they expand.
Sometimes the problem is simply buildup inside the pipe from grease, soap residue, or minerals in the water. In situations like these, cleaning services may restore proper flow. If the camera reveals a damaged pipe section, our Peaden Pros will explain the repair options and help you decide the best next step.
