Gloucester County, NJ Video Pipe Inspection Services

Video Camera Inspection in Gloucester County, NJ

Before video camera pipe inspection services were available, locating and clearing drainage system blocks was mainly guesswork. The plumber would snake a rotating mechanical cable into the drain lines until resistance was felt, indicating that the block had been reached. The plumber would continue to rotate and push the cable into the block, hoping to break it up and, possibly, snag part of it so that it could be pulled back out of the drain. The only way to tell if the drain was open was to run water through it. If water ran freely through the drain, the block was considered fixed.

With video pipe inspection technology a thin, flexible fiber optic cable is fed into the drain until it reaches the blockage. Depending on the location and type of blockage, a SPS Mechanical Inc. plumber can break it up with a mechanical cable or blast it out with a jet of water. The plumber then inspects the line to make sure the block has been completely removed, and not just pushed further down the line to cause trouble later.

Being able to quickly locate the block decreases the time spent grinding the mechanical plumbing snake through the pipes. That reduces the chance of damaging the drain pipes in your home. By being able to see the location of the block, the plumber can more easily understand what caused it and use that information to prevent future problems.
