At Buehler Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we specialize in providing advanced sewer camera inspections in and around Jacksonville, FL. Our thorough video sewer inspections give customers an in-depth look at the condition of their plumbing. Aging sewer lines can suffer from corrosion and hidden damage.
We use cutting-edge camera equipment to identify blockages and other issues within sewer pipes without relying on expensive excavators. With our help, there’s no need to have a contractor dig up your entire yard. You can rest easy knowing you’ll receive expert sewer line repair from skilled plumbers.
What Our High-Definition Sewer Cameras Can Find
A video inspection is the only way to know the true condition of your sewer line without excavation. The high-resolution, waterproof camera provides a real-time feed that allows our plumbers to identify the exact nature and location of any issue.
Our advanced camera technology can pinpoint a wide range of problems, including:
- Cracked or Collapsed Pipes: We can spot structural damage, fractures, or breaks caused by shifting soil or external pressure.
- Offset or “Bellied” Pipes: Over time, sections of a pipe can sink or become misaligned, creating a “belly” where waste and water collect, leading to repeat blockages.
- Severe Corrosion: Older cast iron pipes can corrode from the inside out, leading to rough surfaces that snag debris or cause the pipe to deteriorate.
- Leaking Joints: We can identify failed or leaking seals between pipe sections where water is escaping into your yard.
- Grease and Sludge Buildup: See exactly how much buildup is restricting the flow, even before it becomes a complete blockage.
- Unknown Pipe Material: Identify what your pipes are made of (e.g., cast iron, clay, PVC) to determine the best repair method.
Proactive Sewer Inspections for Peace of Mind
You don’t have to wait for a disastrous backup to understand your sewer line’s health. Buehler Air & Plumbing recommends proactive sewer camera inspections in several key situations:
- Buying a New Home: A home inspection rarely covers the main sewer line. Our pre-purchase inspection can save you from inheriting thousands of dollars in hidden repair costs.
- Older Homes: If your home is over 30 years old, it likely has aging pipes. An inspection can catch corrosion or root intrusion before it becomes a catastrophic failure.
- Frequent Plumbing Issues: If you’re dealing with recurring slow drains or clogs, an inspection can find the root cause that snaking alone won’t solve.
By leveraging this technology, we eliminate the guesswork. This allows us to recommend the most effective and least invasive solution, such as hydro jetting for tough clogs or trenchless pipe lining for damage, saving you time, money, and the headache of a torn-up lawn.
