When Is a Plumbing Inspection Needed?

The plumbing system in your home is complex, and often when there’s a problem, further inspections are needed. While you might be dealing with a simple issue like a leaky faucet, it can actually be caused by a deeper problem in your plumbing like poor water quality or excess pressure.

By performing detailed inspections, you give your plumbing contractor an opportunity to get to the source of the problem, ensuring a long-term fix. This article will be covering different aspects of pipe inspections and how they can work to help protect your home and your comfort.

Plumbing Cameras Offer a Contractors' Insight

A sewer or pipe camera is a small camera that attaches to a flexible tube that can then be run throughout your plumbing system. These lightweight and compact cameras are able to move with the twists and turns of your piping system and give your technicians insight into the location of the problem and also the health of your pipes.

When dealing with issues like clogs, for example, you also have to worry about pipe damage near the affected area, which is why it’s always useful to have some visibility.

Signs Your Sewer Lines Are in Trouble

The sewer system takes on a lot of waste on a daily basis. Whether it’s your toilet, kitchen sink, or shower, all that wastewater ends up in the same piping, which is why it’s more prone to damage. Although repairs should always be left to the pros, it’s important to be on the lookout for warning signs of sewer line damage. These can include:

  • Slow drainage
  • Low water pressure
  • Foul odors
  • Gurgling sounds
  • Pools of water
  • Flooded yard

As mentioned above, the vast majority of the sewer system is underground and around your home, including your yard. Routine sewer inspections help detect minor clogs before they escalate into major emergencies. When it comes to sewer line issues, your biggest concern is always going to be a ruptured pipe.

Not only will this disrupt a very important part of your plumbing system, but also it can contaminate your water supply, which can lead to some serious problems for you and your family.

How Can a Plumbing Inspection Benefit Your Home?

More often than not, homeowners wait until there’s an emergency before contacting a plumber. With routine plumbing inspections, you can enjoy plenty of perks, including:

  • plumbing benefitEarly Detection: A pipe inspection can help plumbers find minor problems before they become an emergency. What was once a small trickle of water from a leak, can quickly pour gallons of water into your home if left unrepaired.
  • Improved Performance: The cleaner and more efficiently your plumbing system operates, the better it will work for your home and family. That means better water pressure, quicker draining, and improved water quality.
  • Longer Lifespan: Your plumbing system and appliances should last you for years. By keeping up with your plumbing maintenance, your pipes' lifespans are guaranteed!

Dealing with a plumbing issue is never fun. Knowing when to call your plumber and relying on them for detailed inspection is one way to ease that frustration and ensure that your sewer and plumbing system as a whole are always working at their best.
