Drain Inspections

Drain inspections are conducted to make sure the sewer pipes inside the home you live in are functioning properly and remain in shape. Drains, no matter if they are in commercial or residential structure, are always under a great deal of stress.

It isn't a good idea to consider the result of a leaky drain pipe. So, paying monitoring of these pipes is essential. They should be examined and cleaned on a regular basis.

Inspections of drains have become more effective thanks to thermal imaging infrared technology. Without this technique, the pipes will need to be manually inspected which is time-consuming and unproductive.

Infrared thermographic examinations can reveal cracks, leaks, and clogs in drain pipes very quickly.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Infrared thermographic inspections are carried out using Thermal imaging camera. These are electronic devices that aid inspectors in identifying things they'd likely overlook with their eyes alone.

The cameras, by using infrared light, can detect thermal differences in space, and produce images that reflect these distinctions. A color spectrum can be utilized to highlight these distinctions.

During drain inspections the heated water will be sprayed into the drain pipes and infrared cameras can be utilized to track its tracks. The changes in temperature that occur along the route allows the camera to draw its tracks. Leaks and clogs will consequently be detected quickly.

A different method is an infrared camera of high-resolution is put into drain pipes, and then driven through the drain pipes. The camera will reveal any cracks or obstructions in the pipes.

The camera captures footage during its journey through the pipe. It is examined carefully by experts who inspect the pipe afterward. They'll be able to detect any irregularities within the pipe, if there are any and suggest suitable solutions. A copy of the video will be given to you following the inspection.

One of the most popular repair techniques is the use of epoxy liner. It's used to fix leaks that occur along drain pipes. Pipe liner inserted to on one side of the pipe, and then it is then inflated to line every inch of pipe. The epoxy lining is used to seal any leaks within the pipe. It's usually a fast and easy process. More complicated problems will require greater effort and lengthy solutions.

Benefits of Drain Inspections

Because of the infrared thermographic system Drain inspections are fast and smooth. It takes about one hour to conduct an inspection of the drains in one-family homes. It can take longer to check larger homes and structures. The majority of residential structures are inspected in a day but.

Drain inspections aren't the only type of home inspections that use thermal imaging infrared. The technology also allows us to identify leaks in the roof, insulation leaks, as well as faulty electrical components too.
