Plagued with slow draining pipes and repetitive clogs? Many causes of these problems are found deep within the pipe itself and can go undiagnosed until a major plumbing problem arises. Instead of relying on traditional drain line troubleshooting methods, video inspection pinpoints the trouble spot and helps visually confirm the cause of the problem. There could be several reasons for continually slow draining pipes and repetitive clogs. Video inspection shows exactly the problem whether it be root intrusion, crushed, or cracked / misaligned pipes. Mr. Rooter video camera inspection service is the most effective method available to locate suspected problem areas within drain lines.

Video inspection:

• Details condition of drain lines
• Locates point of repair, if needed
• Is safe for all pipes
• Verifies like new condition of cleaned pipe
• Verifies like-new condition of cleaned pipe when used with our hydro-scrubbing equipment.

When repetitive clogs occur be sure to contact a professional, reputable plumber. Numerous calls to a plumber waste not only your time but money. Instead of spending $70 to $135 per service call to a “budget plumber” several times for the same problem, call Mr. Rooter to have the problem fixed right, the first time. Our video inspection will show the condition of your drain lines and locate the problem so the best solution for your problem can be determined. Video inspection shows:

• Broken or collapsed pipes — drain pipes and sewer lines may become damage or completely broken due to settling, frozen ground or shifting soil surrounding the pipe.
• Pipe corrosion — the pipe has deteriorated or cracked, causing blockage in the line and restricting water flow.
• Leaking joints — the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
• Root penetration — when tree roots or shrubs have infringe the sewer / drain line, preventing normal flow and/or broken the pipe and eventually damaging the line.
• Low-grade pipes — existing pipes are constructed of below standard material that have deteriorated or corroded over time.
