Video Camera Pipe Inspection

Collinsville Video Camera Pipe Inspection
As you already know, the vast majority of your plumbing pipes are hidden from view. This is both for aesthetic reasons and to keep you from tripping over the tangle of pipes running all over your house. While hiding pipes in the walls may have a lot of advantages, though, it has one big disadvantage. If you can’t see the pipes, you often won’t notice any drain and sewer problems that may develop with them. That’s where video camera inspection comes in. Embrich Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning offers comprehensive video camera inspection services throughout Collinsville, IL. If you need video camera inspection services of any kind, call today to schedule an appointment.

What is Video Camera Inspection?
Video camera inspection is the primary method that service experts use to find problems with a plumbing system. A long cord is inserted into the system, with a motorized camera at the end of it. The camera travels through the plumbing system, sending video back to the service expert controlling it. This way, the service expert can thoroughly examine your pipes for issues without tearing up the house to physically examine them. Video camera inspection makes it much easier to find and fix problems earlier, so that they have less time to cause damage. This is by far the best method for keeping tabs on your home’s plumbing.

Why You Need Video Camera Inspection
As previously mentioned, many plumbing problems go unnoticed because the pipes are hidden from view. Most plumbing problems can cause a great deal of damage if allowed to progress for too long. For example:
- Pinhole Leaks: These tiny leaks are only large enough to leak a couple drops of water at a time, but if left alone for long enough they can cause a great deal of water damage. Most homeowners don’t notice pinhole leaks, because they’re too small to cause a drop in water pressure. Pinhole leaks tend to only get noticed once they’ve rotted out the surrounding area, which is quite obvious even from the other side of the wall.
- Corrosion: Various kinds of corrosion can affect your pipes, weakening them and making it more likely for leaks or ruptures to occur. Without close examination of the pipes, however, there is no way to actually observe this corrosion occurring.
- Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer lines, and even the smallest crack or joint in a pipe can give them a way in. Once inside, roots continue to grow and expand, gradually obstructing the flow of wastewater and putting pressure on the pipe walls. This can lead to slow drains, recurring clogs, or even complete blockages over time. Because root intrusion happens underground and out of sight, it often goes unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred, making a video inspection one of the most effective ways to identify and address the issue early.
The only way to catch these issues early is to have a service expert examine your pipes on a fairly regular basis, and the best way to do that is with video camera inspection.

We made an online appointment on Saturday which was super easy and helpful that we could upload pictures of what was going on. Monday morning, Cliff came to check out the issue. There were a few other things we also needed done, but weren't expecting to do at the time. However, we decided to go for it.
The next morning, by 8 am, Cody and Jack were here and got to work quickly. They fixed a pipe, a leaking bathtub faucet, replaced the garbage disposal and kitchen sink faucet, and installed an ro system in the kitchen. They began shortly after 8 and were finished by 10:30. Luckily there wasn't anything exceptional that extended their stay. Divide and conquer was their motto and boy did they! Thank you so much to Embrich for their professionalism and quick, excellent work. We are very impressed. To Cliff, Jack, and Cody - thank you! I'm pretty sure we've found our new company!
We also signed up for their membership program and we were told today that all of our "checkup" appointments had already been scheduled and that they would reach out with more info when those dates got closer. Super impressed!
We highly recommend Embrich and love that they are family owned and local.
