4 Benefits of Camera Technology When it Comes to Septic Backups

Rachel Kline • May 29, 2019

Whether your home or business requires emergency pumping or you’re calling to schedule routine maintenance for your septic tank or grease trap, we use the latest technology to offer high quality service to each of our customers. One of the ways we diagnose backups and open clogged lines is with the help of a video camera inspection.

How does it work?
When there's a backup or a clog in your sewer line, we snake a cable down the pipe(s) with a specialized camera on the end. We receive video feedback that shows us exactly what’s happening after you flush, use the sink etc. Our video cable can extend meters beneath the ground to show us if there’s a problem in the pipes directly under your kitchen or bathroom, or further down the water line. We use camera technology for both residential and commercial jobs. We can perform a video pipe inspection to determine what's causing a backup at your restaurant or business.

What Are the Benefits?

  1. Video technology allows us to diagnose exactly what is causing the problem in your pipes.
    We can see if the problem is merely a grease backup that needs to be broken up with our high pressure water jet, or if there is another issue like a damaged pipe, corrosion, or roots in the line.

  2. A video pipe inspection shows us exactly where your problem is located.
    If there’s a damaged pipe or corrosion that requires repair, a camera inspection saves us time by telling us where to dig or expose the pipes in question.

  3. Saving time means saving money.
    If your home or business is experiencing a backup, the quicker we can diagnose and resolve your issue, the quicker we can get our job done and get you back in business.

  4. A video pipe inspection can offer peace of mind.
    If you’ve had problems with your septic or grease lines in the past and high pressure jetting hasn’t corrected the issues, a thorough camera inspection can go a step further and tell us how clean your lines truly are, or if there is still build-up, causing slow flow. Our team is happy to go the extra mile and perform a video pipe inspection to get to the root of your problem.
Our technicians are experts in high pressure jetting and camera inspections so if you’ve got a problem don’t hesitate to give us a call. We offer reliable septic service in the Lancaster, Pa area and beyond, servicing York, Lebanon, Dauphin and Berks counties.
