When you think about it, it’s really amazing how much plumbing technology has advanced in the last fifty years or so. A century ago, if a home or business owner had a clogged or broken sewer drain, they had few options to fix it that weren’t time consuming and potentially expensive. Back then, the only real solution was to dig up the pipe by hand to find what had happened and where the problem was located, then fix or unclog it by hand. In most instances, the reason for a clogged or stopped up drain was a total mystery unless you picked up a shovel and started digging.

Today, however, things have changed significantly. Thanks to modern technology like fiber optics and closed circuit video cameras, a plumber can now use a drain drain video camera to see exactly what’s going on inside your pipes without doing any digging at all. By simply running a flexible, waterproof drain camera line into your clogged sewer line, they can see in vivid color what the problem is and even locate exactly where it is. This means that it takes less time, less effort and costs less money to fix.

Drain video inspecting cameras aren’t owned by every plumbing company, since they are a relatively expensive piece of equipment. But you should be a able to find several different companies in your local area that will be able to camera your drain. The best course to take is to call each of these companies and how much they charge per how for camera inspections, then have the cheapest company do the work for you.

One word of warning, however: if you decide not to use the same company to fix the problem in the drain, make sure that you request a copy of the video they record from inside your drain. By doing this, you will ensure that no further camera charges will be incurred from the company you choose to fix the drain. Whoever you choose, they will need to see for themselves exactly what is going on inside your drain, and they can’t simply take your word for what another company saw with its drain camera. If a company doesn’t allow customers to keep or purchase a copy of the drain camera video tape, then it’s best to look elsewhere.

All things considered, we are very lucky to live during a time when potentially devastating sewer line problems can be fixed quickly and easily using modern technology. It may cost a few bucks to get your drain inspected by a video camera, but the amount of money you will save by going this route is definitely worth it. By knowing exactly what is causing the problems with your blocked or broken drain, you can save time, money and effort when it’s time to fix things.
