Plumbing problems can be a big headache for homeowners, especially when battling persistent blockages. Traditional pipe repairs in these cases often involved digging trenches and breaking through walls — a messy and expensive folly!
But there is a piece of tech that will go where no man has ventured before. Even the tightest of spots in your drainage system. Enter CCTV drain cameras: a smart solution for inspecting and repairing pipes in quick time.
Here’s why CCTV drain cameras are an essential part of any modern plumber’s toolkit.
1. Protect your property with non-invasive repairs
Gone are the days when plumbing repairs meant digging up your front yard or breaking through walls to diagnose problems. This invasive approach was not only incredibly disruptive for the homeowner and neighbors but also very expensive, with the potential to cause more damage than the issue itself.
CCTV drain camera inspection services are completely noninvasive. Plumbers can send these incredible devices deep into your drains to visually inspect your pipes remotely. There are no big digs or mass destruction. This means that your garden and walls stay intact, saving you the mess and money of repairs later.
2. Keep workers safe in head-to-reach areas
CCTV cameras have also improved working conditions for plumbers. Lots of drain problems manifest in tight and dangerous spots that are usually too dangerous for people to access. CCTV makes light work of navigating these areas, easily passing through narrow pipes and bends, while sending real-time footage to technicians outside.
This approach is safer and more effective. It speeds up the inspection time and shields workers from hazardous areas near gas lines or unstable underground trenches. Safer inspections translate to fewer accidents and a better-quality repair process.
3. Reduce repair costs with ultra-accurate diagnoses
Making the unseen visible for the first time is one of the true ‘superpowers’ of CCTV cameras. In the past, plumbers had to make decisions about leaks or blockages based on pure guesswork. They were often unsighted and didn’t have access to all the details. CCTV uses HD cameras to provide specialists with a crystal-clear view of everything.
Repairs are much more targeted and efficient when plumbers know precisely what and where the problem is. There are no unnecessary labor costs (goodbye to wasting a whole day on diagnosing issues!), and everything gets sorted quickly, which translates to significant savings for you.
4. Access powerful features
CCTV drain cameras are easy to use. You’ll probably spot that the team at DrainFixers can wield them in every direction without a problem. But they are also packed with helpful features, including LED lighting and zoom capabilities, which capture detailed footage even in the darkest recesses of your pipes.
Technicians can also record CCTV drain camera inspections and review the footage later to see the issues clearly. These features make inspections faster and more accurate, giving you peace of mind that you’ll get the right drain repair for your home.
5. Get the most reliable data
Capturing footage also reduces the risk of human error during inspections. With CCTV cameras, it’s extremely unlikely that a hidden problem will be missed as literally every square inch of your pipe’s interior is beamed to our pros in all its glory.
It means that we have more reliable data to diagnose issues accurately every step of the way, and you get the best pair repair solutions. Getting it right the first time will prevent repeat visits or surprise breakdowns in the months and years to come.
