Protect the Integrity of Your Home with a Drain Camera Inspection

By Rufus Sweet


Many homeowners take the integrity of their home's drain and sewer system for granted. As a result, when there's a clog or the think is slow to drain or the toilets take a couple of flushes to go down, the homeowner heads out and buys some Drain-O. No big deal, right? Well, for one in every five homeowners, it ends up being a major problem. It doesn't have to be if you have a drain camera inspection done when your plumbing problems aren't cleared up with a simple drain cleaner.

No matter how long you have lived in your home, whether it's a few months or many years, problems in the sewer line or drain line system can build over time. Too many homeowners buy their house, have the inspection, sign the papers, and never think to have this aspect of the home checked and they pay dearly for their oversight sometime in the future. A drain camera inspection can offer a number of benefits to the existing homeowner, the future homeowner, and even construction companies and real estate agencies.

Sleep secure with a drain camera inspection

When you have a drain camera inspection, you may uncover potentially serious issues, such as cracks in the pipe, clogs that won't be eroded with chemicals, or even open lines (yes, it's happened) that run throughout your house and all the way to the main sewer line connection in the street. Just because you can't see a problem in the plumbing system of your house doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Think of your home as a living, breathing entity. Whenever there is a problem, such as a clogged drain, your house is trying to tell you something. If you notice an odd smell coming from a portion of the house, but you don't know what it is, only that you know it's new, your house is telling you something. It's easier to ignore what it's trying to tell you, but that often ends up being more costly in the long run.

It always pays to double check all aspects of your property. From roofing to drain lines you need to make sure they are securing your home and your family. Having a drain camera inspection is just the same as having a roof inspection. Never again will you have to worry about what is going on down there because you will have absolute peace of mind because you did the smart thing and got a drain camera inspection.

The best form of defense is attack. If you have a drain problem that needs attacking don't delay. Get it sorted and you will be so grateful you caught it just in time before it got more costly.
