Our Pipeline Inspection Services

There are two common ways to inspect pipelines. One is a camera inspection using small, flexible, waterproof cameras that travel through the pipe and show the interior condition clearly.

The other approach involves opening or taking apart exposed pipe sections when surface-level inspection is needed. Pipe Surgeons chooses the method that gives the clearest information with the least disruption.

When Do You Need a Pipeline Inspection?

A pipeline inspection gives you a clear view of the line before repairs begin. It helps confirm whether the problem is buildup, roots, corrosion, cracks, offsets, or another issue.

Your pipeline inspection cost can vary, depending on:

Accessibility of sewer cleanout:

A sewer cleanout is the access point for plumbers to get into your home’s sewer line. If your sewer cleanout is on ground-level, it will be less expensive than if your sewer cleanout is located on the roof.

Equipment needed:

Our plumbers will attempt to unclog your drain using a drain cable machine first. If the clog cannot be cleared using the drain cable machine, we may recommend hydro jetting, which will likely raise the total cost of the project.

Plumbing:

You’ll pay more for better-quality plumbers. With any plumbing work, you want a plumber who’s licensed and experienced, offers strong warranties and has a good reputation.

Pipeline Inspections

At Pipe Surgeons, we rely on pipeline inspections to find stubborn clogs and remove them as soon as possible. We also recommend inspections as a preventative step before major pipe repairs.

Reliable cameras and advanced locating equipment help us inspect pipes throughout Florida with accurate findings and clear recommendations.

Pipeline Inspection Method

Pipeline inspections use a non-intrusive video camera to reveal clogs, roots, corrosion, leaks, cracks, offsets, and damaged pipe sections. The technician records findings and explains the issue in plain language.

We consider pipe age, pipe material, depth, access, and the severity of the issue before recommending a repair plan.

When Do You Need a Pipeline Inspection?

Tree roots, grease buildup, heavy paper, wipes, and aging pipe materials can create recurring drainage problems. Plungers and drain chemicals may not solve the real issue.

A camera inspection shows exactly what is happening inside the line, helping you make an informed decision before repair work begins.
