When drains slow down or stop working altogether in your Kaysville home, the problem often hides deep inside pipes where you can't see it. A video camera inspection lets you and the plumber view the inside of your plumbing lines in real time, showing tree roots, grease buildup, broken sections, or collapsed pipe walls without tearing into floors or digging up your yard.
JTG Plumbing, Heating, and Air uses waterproof cameras mounted on flexible cables to navigate your drain lines and sewer pipes. The camera transmits live footage to a monitor, allowing the plumber to identify blockages, cracks, corrosion, or misaligned joints with precision. This method reveals the exact location and nature of the problem, which means repairs can be targeted rather than exploratory. JTG Plumbing, Heating, and Air includes a free camera inspection with every drain clearing service.
If you need to know what's causing backups or slow drainage in Kaysville, call JTG Plumbing, Heating, and Air to schedule a video inspection.
How the Camera Reveals What Words Can't
The plumber feeds a small, high-resolution camera into your drain access point or cleanout in Kaysville, guiding it through the line while watching the monitor. The cable is marked in measured increments, so the plumber knows exactly how far the camera has traveled when it reaches the problem. You can watch the footage with them and see cracks, root intrusion, or debris buildup as it appears on screen.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed video report that shows what was found and where it was found. This footage helps you understand whether a clog can be cleared, a section of pipe needs replacement, or roots need removal. The report removes guesswork and supports decisions about repair methods and costs.
The camera works in most residential drain and sewer lines, but it cannot navigate pipes smaller than two inches or lines that are fully collapsed. The inspection does not fix the problem itself, but it provides the information needed to fix it correctly the first time.
We Know This Raises a Few Questions
Homeowners often want to know what the camera can show, how long the process takes, and whether it's necessary before repair work begins.
- What problems can a video camera inspection find? The camera shows blockages from grease or debris, tree roots growing into pipes, cracks or breaks in the line, corrosion, bellied or sagging sections, and misaligned joints. It also confirms whether a line is clear after cleaning.
- How long does a video inspection take? Most inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the length of the line and the number of access points. The plumber reviews the footage with you immediately after the inspection is complete.
- When should I request a camera inspection? You should request one when drains back up repeatedly, when you hear gurgling from toilets or sinks, before purchasing a home in Kaysville, or before deciding between pipe repair and full replacement.
- Will the camera damage my pipes? No. The camera is waterproof, flexible, and designed to move through pipes without scratching or damaging the interior. It does not apply force or pressure to the walls of the line.
- Does JTG Plumbing, Heating, and Air provide the video footage? Yes. You receive a copy of the inspection video along with a written summary of findings and recommendations for any needed repairs.
If you're dealing with recurring backups or want to confirm the condition of your sewer line in Kaysville, a video camera inspection gives you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Contact JTG Plumbing, Heating, and Air to schedule your inspection.
