Sewer Camera Inspections

If you have had a sewer clog or major sewer back up lately, chances are you need a "sewer camera inspection"

What the "hootin-anny" is a sewer camera anyhow???

I can't tell you how many times people have asked me that!!! They actually say "hootin-anny" too!

Sewer cameras are very useful tools in the drain cleaning industry. Each one of our fully stocked service vans have 2 different styles. They are used to actually "Scope" the interior of a sewer line to determine what is causing damage or clogs.

Our cameras can be viewed in full color and can reach up to 200'. As an added feature, each truck is equipped with a "locator feature".... what is this you ask?

Assuming www.SPLASHplumbing.com has been successful in clearing your clogged drain (and we always are) it is our policy to offer a sewer camera inspection. Once we insert our color sewer camera into a sewer main, we can easily see what is causing any drain back ups or clogs. Once our camera is positioned into view, we can simply locate where it is by activating a function within the camera system allowing us to use another piece of equipment called a "locator". This locator receives a signal from the camera head and our Technician will be able pinpoint its location.

Once this is completed, location and depth can be determined! Simple ... right?
