Video Sewer Camera Inspections in Albany, Troy, Schenectady in the Capital Region
Video cameras have become one of the most important services to plumbing customers. E.W. Tompkins Plumbing Heating Cooling offers visual inspection of sewer lines for residential and commercial customers. We have specially made waterproof cameras that can go into pipes about 100 feet in Albany and the Capital Region of upstate New York.
Our trained technicians insert a stainless steel camera with LED light in the head and insert this into the pipe. This expensive and flexible rod is attached to a high resolution video camera. It travels through the pipe, even around tight corners, to see what is in or trying to get into the pipe. A quality real time video image can be seen by the technician and the customer can determine the condition of the pipes inside and outside of the house. We can record the images on a computer disk for the customer. 
Radio Transmitters Can Locate Pipe Defects
While our technician has the camera on, he can determine where the defect or obstruction is with a wand scanner. The head of the camera emits a sound that can be detected. We can precisely mark where the obstruction or broken pipe is in the yard. This save you time and money should the pipe need to be dug up and replaced. This removes guesswork and saves money. .
