Hydro Jetting Bakersfield CA

Having the water in your sink or toilet refusing to flow down the drain is something all homeowners will have to go through sooner or later. Although this is usually caused by something clogging the pipes, there are many other reasons this could happen, and knowing exactly what is wrong can make the repair quicker, easier, and more affordable for you.

However, only a very small part of the plumbing system in your house is visible. The rest is hidden behind walls and floors, and outside the property it is buried under the garden, patio, or driveway until it reaches the city sewer main. Finding the source of any drain problem can be a real challenge, but our staff at The Plumbing Doc has access to the most modern of technology that helps us provide an accurate diagnostic in a short time.

How a drain inspection is done nowadays

Instead of tearing apart your landscape to reach the pipes for investigation, we can now check them out by using a small video camera. This sturdy device is waterproof and has a built-in light that illuminates its way into the drains. Our plumbing technician controls the camera remotely and watches the video feed it sends to an external monitor.

Benefits of a drain inspection

The main advantage of using a video camera to inspect the drains and pipes is that it eliminates any guesswork. All the issues it finds are recorded so we can decide the best way of fixing them. With a drain inspection, we can check the general condition of the pipes and see if any cracks or holes need to be patched, loose joints that are leaking water or sewage, and other similar situations.

Tree roots are a frequent cause of clogs in Bakersfield. The warm weather we enjoy in California in the Spring and Summer can make the roots enter the pipes as they search for moisture, creating a root net that traps any debris that passes by and obstructs the water flow. With a drain inspection, we can know the depth and location of this blockage so we can then remove it, restoring the pipe’s functionality.

Drains inspections for potential homeowners

If you are planning to buy a house, a drain inspection is something that can save you lots of money and headaches. Plumbing inspections are usually performed on a basic level; sometimes all that is done is a quick check of the water heater and the water flow performance. Many issues can go unnoticed, so the only way of knowing the true status of the drain is by having a proper video inspection performed.
