The plumbing and water pipes in our homes can be mysterious. Not only do they seem to work like magic most of the time, but we really don't have any idea what happens when something goes down the drain or toilet. For all our imagination knows, it gets flushed out to the ocean and is gone forever.

Anyone who has ever called 24-hour emergency plumbing services over to their home to fix a clogged pipe knows it's not that magical, but it still can be mysterious. Plumbers are often stumped as to what's wrong with a water system and many times employ sewer cameras and other smart devices to try and diagnose from afar. If you've never had this technology used in your home, then you need to hear about the benefits right now!

Finally Diagnose Mysterious Noises and Smells

You can't diagnose what you can't see and look at, right? Many times after flushing our toilet or using a waste disposal unit, we'll hear mysterious sounds or smell odors that emanate from these places. Try as we might to investigate with our naked eyes, it can be very difficult to get down into the places that are causing the actual problems. After you've exhausted residential drain cleaner, baking soda, and hot water as solutions to try and clear the pipes, it might be time to hire official drainpipe cleaning services and see if they can employ sewer camera services or better solutions to diagnose mysterious noises and smells.

Fix Inefficiencies Down Below

While most homeowners try to use the most efficient water systems and appliances available, there are certain things that just seem to be out of our control. Whether it's a drainage issue or a mess of hair that is causing a part of our water system to not function as well as it could, it's better to know about it than be in the dark. If you have a faucet, toilet, water heater, or virtually any other plumbing appliance that is leaking, you could be wasting more than 3,000 gallons of water every year. Sometimes, homeowners are not even aware of "micro leaks" that are occurring in parts of their homes until a plumber, who is skilled in using sewer camera services, brings it up on a screen and shows them.

Investigate Dangerous Areas Without Risking Life and Limb

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes in the plumbing business, you have to investigate dangerous areas. Whether this is a large well, a residential septic tank full of sewage, or simply a disheveled basement drain crawling with critters, you never want to risk life and limb for water problems. In the past, it was simply a necessity that you had to accept as part of the job, but that is no longer so. Now, with sewer camera services and other technologies, you can literally look at what is going on down below or in a hard-to-reach area without having to physically be there. This means that you no longer have to extend arms into random holes, crouch in stress positions, or unnecessarily put your plumber in a compromising position ever again. This can make fixing your water problems not only a breeze but stress-free as well.

Look Out Down Below!

As you can see, the benefits of using sewer camera services in plumbing seem to go on forever. Not only can you finally access those hard-to-reach places that no human could ever physically go to, but you don't have to put your plumber or anyone else at risk to do so. By utilizing sewer camera services to your full advantage, you can actually monitor your entire plumbing system to figure out exactly where strange smells, sounds, and leaks are coming from. This can lead to you fixing inefficiencies, investing in better technology, and simply being able to sleep better at night from no longer worrying. We know that you've probably never thought of cameras being able to be used in this way, but they really are a miracle. When you're ready to see exactly what's going on down below, be sure to contact Bob Frank Plumbing for all of your water-related concerns.
