The Technology and Equipment That Sets Us Apart

‍

The technology that drives sewer video cameras has evolved and improved drastically in the last 5 years. Mother utilizes the most current, state-of-the-art equipment in every DFW home inspection.

Here’s a closer look at the key components of our modern camera equipment:

• The sewer line camera: We utilize a small, waterproof, high-resolution video camera. The camera head contains LED lights to illuminate the dark areas inside your sewer pipe. Our advanced sewer cameras zoom, pan and tilt, and self-level to provide high definition, upright images at all times.
• The cable and reel: The camera is attached to the end of a long, flexible cable (“the snake”). This, sturdy, flexible cable allows the camera to push through the twists and turns of your sewer line. The cable is mounted on a reel for easy deployment and retrieval of the camera.
• The control unit and monitor: A control unit is mounted at the end of the camera cable. It houses a monitor displaying the live video feed from the camera. We adjust lights, zoom and orient the camera from the control unit. A distance counter measures precise distance from the control unit to the camera. We know precisely where your issue exists and how to access it. 

Top 5 Local Drain Problems Our Camera Inspections Reveal

It's vital to hire experienced local technicians for your sewer scope inspection. Each of our DFW office locations is staffed by plumbers who specialize in your local geology, pipe conditions and infrastructure. Plano plumbers in Plano, Southlake plumbers in Southlake. 

The result? We walk in with a built-in understanding of what to look for in our inspection.

Here are the 5 most common causes of pipe damage we uncover in local sewer inspections:

1. Downtown Dallas: grease blockages. Decades of grease buildup causes slow drains and gurgling fixtures in Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts District. These blockages attract debris and waste materials, growing to unmanageable sizes.
2. East Dallas: root intrusion. Mature Live oak and Cedar elm trees make Dallas beautiful. They also feast on the wastewater in residential sewer lines. We frequently see massive root infiltration in Lakewood and Lake Highlands.
3. Fort Worth: aging pipe material. Older neighborhoods like Mistletoe Heights and Ryan Place are full of corroded cast iron sewer pipes. Most local inspections reveal tree root penetrations and joint separations caused by failing cast iron.
4. Plano: shifting clay soil. Plano's Blackland Prairie clay soil ("black gumbo") shifts and stresses the aging underground pipes of mature 1970s and 1980s-era homes. Our cameras often reveal joint separations and improper slope problems here.
5. Southlake: branch line blockages. Newer Southlake estates experience persistent clogs in the branch pipes leading to their main sewer lines. We frequently avoid expensive repairs with in-home solutions for slow drainage.

6 Ways Sewer Camera Inspections Save You Money

Our research team analyzed the last 3 years of Mother sewer video inspection service calls. We discovered that this appointment saved Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners between $500-$2,500 in future sewer repair or replacement costs.

These cost savings manifest in 6 ways for DFW homeowners:

1. Early Detection of Problems: The camera identifies minor issues like small cracks, root intrusion, or debris buildup before they cause major blockages or pipe collapses. Addressing these problems early with regular inspections is significantly cheaper than dealing with extensive damage and emergency repairs.  
2. Accurate Diagnosis: Mother was recently called in for a second opinion on another plumber’s sewer line repair estimate. Our sewer camera inspection revealed a simple clog, rather than a massive blockage. We saved the homeowner thousands of dollars on their repair bill.
3. Avoidance of Emergency Repairs: By identifying and addressing potential issues early, homeowners avoid the higher costs associated with emergency plumbing services and secondary damage from sewage backups.  
4. Less Invasive Repairs: Precise location of your problem helps avoid unnecessary trenching and excavation. Mother utilizes trenchless sewer line repair technology- specifically trenchless pipe bursting- that starts with no-dig sewer camera inspections. 
5. More Effective Sewer Cleaning: Every Mother sewer line cleaning and hydro jetting service starts with a camera inspection. It's a pre-service audit that delivers targeted results that last longer than “cleaning blind”.
6. Insurance Claims: Documentation from a sewer camera inspection is incredibly valuable when filing insurance claims for sewer line damage. You’re more likely to be reimbursed for sewer repair costs with visual proof from a certified plumber’s camera inspection.
