Problems with sewage treatment plants, caustic fields, pipes and the septic tank used to be tedious to solve and repair, so the tank had to be exposed and pumped, pipes had to be “twisted” to find blockages and locate underground leaks. Sky Sepulveda, the plumber from Paso Robles of Quality 1st Plumbing and Drains, recently announced a quick fix and inspections with sewer inspection cameras.
“A sewer inspection camera is fiber optic, about the size of a cell phone, and is attached to a long flexible metal cable that we run into the opening,” said Sepulveda. The camera is tampered with remotely as the cable unwinds and pushes the camera deeper down the sewer lines. Lights on the camera illuminate the area while driving and the cable is connected to a display so that the technician can see everything in the camera’s field of view.
Camera inspection avoids digging up the lawn or tearing up soil to locate a problem. All that is needed is an opening in the sewer system to supply the camera. Roots and other blockages are just as easy to locate as cracks and other damage to pipes or the septic tank. Once a problem has been identified and located:
-
Tree roots and other blockages can be removed by jets of water with a long flexible water hose with powerful jets of water that can remove sludge and debris and sever tree roots.
- Leaks and breaks can be repaired by introducing a special hardener substance.
- Larger breaks may require a pipe bursting technique, a trenchless process that involves inserting a flexible pipe into the damaged pipe and threading the new pipe through the older pipe. In this case, a small amount of digging is required to expose the target area of the old pipe in order to start the feed. Paso Robles’ plumber ensures that small areas are replenished and cleaned before leaving work.
The camera drastically shortens the entire inspection process from around a day to just a few hours. Advanced repair technologies such as pipe bursting reduce the repair process and clutter to much less time than the old methods. The reduction in time means inspection and repairs are easy on the budget.
Sepulveda has a reputation for being fair to its customers. “We are constantly on the lookout for new advances in the plumbing industry,” said the plumber from Paso Robles. “Staying up to date keeps us efficient and saves our customers time and money.”
