What’s Involved in a Video Pipe Inspection in Medina, OH

Video pipe inspection, also known as sewer camera inspection, is a noninvasive method for visually inspecting the interiors of plumbing lines and sewer systems. This process involves inserting a high-definition sewer camera into the sewer line. The camera is mounted on a flexible rod that allows it to navigate through bends and turns in the sewer pipe while transmitting real-time video back to the technician. This method provides a clear view of the condition inside the pipe and helps identify any existing or potential issues.

Key Components of the Inspection Process

  • Sewer Camera: The heart of this inspection technique is the sewer camera, a specially designed waterproof device that provides live video feedback and can navigate various sewer line sizes and configurations.
  • Access Point: To begin the inspection, our technicians locate or create an access point where the sewer camera can be inserted. This point is crucial for ensuring that the entire system can be inspected without any disruptions.
  • Monitor: The video feed from the camera is displayed on a monitor, allowing our technicians to see in real time what is happening inside your sewer lines. This advanced technology aids in pinpointing the exact locations of issues like blockages, tree root infiltration, or breaks in the pipe.
  • Drain Inspection Camera: Similar to the sewer camera, this tool is used for smaller or more localized inspections. It is particularly useful for checking household drain pipes for clogs or damage.

Scheduling was very easy, and they came the next day promptly. The job was done efficiently — very professional. They cleaned up the mess after they were finished. Even gave us advice on how to clean out our old pipes.

Honest, hardworking, and trustworthy. They saved us from spending 9 thousand dollars a larger commercial company quoted us for tree roots in the sewer drain. Will be the only company we call in the future for any drain and plumping work.

We have used Dan's Drain Services twice now and will continue to call on them for our plumbing needs. On both occasions the services were performed quickly and efficiently. Everyone at Dan's has been professional, friendly and considerate. They were very responsive when we were faced with a water heater that was leaking leaving us without water. Their pricing is very fair and they are extremely conscientious of leaving behind a clean work site.

I had an issue with my storm sewer causing water to back up into my basement. I contacted a plumber who snaked the drain for 2 hours. He found nothing wrong, but my issue persisted. I contacted Dan’s Drain service the following day. It took Dan under 30 minutes to discover my issue. He used every tool in his arsenal, and there were many. Cameras, above ground pipe detection, snakes and a high pressure water jet. Sadly, the clay pipe collapsed. I contracted him the following day to excavate my yard and run a new pipe to the existing culvert. Every stage of the process was flawless with constant communication and up front estimates. Dan did exactly what he said he would do. They were prompt, courteous and very focused on preserving my property. To say I am satisfied is somewhat of an understatement. VERY fair pricing and excellent service! Dan is just a blue collar guy with a simple goal. Remedy the issue in the most cost effective way possible. If you need plumbing services, don’t hesitate to give Dan a call. I promise you, you wont be sorry! Thanks to Dan and his crew for a job well done, and thanks to Betsy for great communication throughout the process!

Dan and his team are absolutely phenomenal! I had 2 sump pumps that stopped working. From the scheduling, to execution of replacing the pumps, to the follow up, the experience was great. Dan and the crew were prompt, courteous, respectful, and explained everything they were doing. They only use top quality parts which says something about their integrity of a job performed right the first time is a job well done.
The price was great too and well deserving of his knowledge and experience.
I'm having them come back to replace some of our leaking hose bibs in the spring.

We had multiple gas leaks in our home that were very hard to detect where the leak was coming from. We had multiple companies come and search to no avail. We called Dan’s Drain Services that were recommended to us and they got us in same day. They were kind and very knowledgeable. We had our gas shut off for a few days and with their help they found and repaired all the leaks and our gas was restored. We are very pleased with their work and thankful for their kindness and help. We will happily recommend them to anyone and use them in the future for all our plumbing needs! Thanks Dan and Megan!
