Frequently Asked Questions About Columbus Camera Pipe Inspections

The camera can identify tree roots, older cast iron pipes with buildup, or a broken line. It helps us locate where the problem is according to where the blockage is located. The locator will tell you the depth of the pipe, so if there are tree roots in your main sewer that goes through your front yard, we can pinpoint pretty close to where the problem would be.

It’s very tight for 2-inch lines. You can do some 2-inch lines, but it’s usually 3-inch and up. Smaller pipes like those for kitchen or bathroom sinks (typically 1.5-inch) are too small for camera inspection.

Sewer camera inspection services in Columbus usually take between 30-60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and how many twists and turns there are in the pipes.

If a line is blocked, we’re not going to be able to see anything in that line. If the line has debris and build up, there’s a good possibility we’re not going to be able to see anything as it gets on the end of the camera. We always let people know ahead of time that there’s no guarantee we’ll be able to see the problem.

Camera inspection is especially useful if there is a line that is consistently backing up. Without the camera, you wouldn’t be able to tell that there was an issue unless the system was having some other kind of symptom, and even then, you wouldn’t know where it was. Camera diagnostics help us pinpoint issues and give us the information we need to solve the problem.
