A Day in the Life of a Sewer Camera Inspection
As a plumber, every day presents a new challenge. From leaky faucets to clogged drains, my job is to ensure that homes run smoothly. But one aspect of my work that always keeps me on my toes is sewer camera inspections. Today, I'm going to take you through a recent inspection I conducted, sharing my insights and experiences along the way.
It all started with a call about a potential issue with a sewer line. The homeowners had noticed standing water and even encountered sewer flies – never a good sign. Armed with my trusty sewer camera, sponsored by Leak Pro, I embarked on a mission to uncover the source of the problem.
Before diving in, I made sure to record the date and time, a crucial step for documentation. With the camera rolling, I descended into the depths of the sewer line, eager to uncover any hidden issues.
One thing I love about using the Milwaukee camera is its clarity and ease of use. As I navigated through the pipes, I kept a keen eye out for any signs of trouble – root intrusions, separations, or unexpected blockages. The camera's high-definition footage allowed me to capture every detail, ensuring nothing went unnoticed.
Despite encountering some standing water and minor obstructions along the way, I remained vigilant, determined to get to the root of the problem. With each twist and turn of the camera, I gained a better understanding of the sewer system's layout and condition.
One particularly intriguing discovery was a mysterious branch line leading off to the right. In a house with multiple additions and renovations, deciphering the plumbing layout can be like solving a puzzle. But with the help of my trusty camera, I was able to map out the entire system with precision.
As I neared the end of the inspection, I breathed a sigh of relief – no major breaks or leaks were detected. The sewer line may have been showing its age, but it was holding up surprisingly well.
Reflecting on the experience, I couldn't help but think about the importance of integrity in my profession. While some unscrupulous plumbers may resort to deceptive tactics to drum up business, I take pride in my commitment to honesty and transparency.
That's why I always make it a point to record myself during inspections, ensuring that homeowners know exactly who's behind the camera. Trust is the cornerstone of any successful business, and I refuse to compromise mine for a quick buck.
As I wrapped up the inspection, I couldn't help but feel grateful for tools like the Leak Pro equipment that make my job easier and more efficient. With the right training and technology, plumbers can tackle even the most challenging issues with confidence.
