Video inspections

Forbes Plumbing, Inc. can check the condition of your pipes and sewer drain with a reliable video inspection

A video camera pipe inspection allows for a real-time visual inspection of underground sewer lines and piping to determine their condition inside.

A flexible fiber optic cable with a specially designed high-resolution video camera on its tip is inserted into the pipe for inspection. As the cable is pushed through the pipe, the hardened waterproof camera, equipped with powerful lights, records its journey and findings. Video images are transmitted to the camera operator who can make an informed diagnosis of any problem found.

Underground video pipe inspections can accurately identify these drain problems

• Broken, Cracked or Collapsed Pipe – damaged pipes requiring repair or replacement.
• Offset Pipe – sewer pipes that have become misaligned due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, etc.
• Blockage – grease buildup or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
• Corrosion – the pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing sections to collapse and restrict water flow.
• Bellied Pipe – a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
• Leaking Joints – the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
• Root Infiltration – tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line, preventing normal cleaning and/or roots have damaged the pipe.
• Off-Grade Pipe – existing pipes are constructed of substandard or outdated material that may have deteriorated or corroded.
