See Inside Pipes Without Breaking Through Walls
DNI Heating and Air uses camera inspections to diagnose hidden plumbing issues in Boulder, Colorado without invasive demolition.
When a drain slows down repeatedly or a sewer line backs up without an obvious cause, the problem is often hidden inside the pipe where you cannot see it. Traditional troubleshooting might involve guessing at the location or cutting into walls and floors to locate the issue, but camera inspections allow you to see the inside of the pipe in real time and identify exactly what is blocking, cracking, or leaking before any removal work begins.
DNI Heating and Air provides camera inspection services in Boulder to non-invasively diagnose, locate, and plan repairs for issues such as cracks, root intrusions, blockages, and leaks. A flexible cable with a high-resolution camera on the end is fed into the pipe through an existing access point, and the video feed shows the condition of the pipe interior, the location of any obstructions, and the severity of damage. This allows for accurate diagnosis and helps determine whether a repair, cleaning, or replacement is the right solution.
If you are dealing with recurring drainage issues or suspect a problem in your sewer or water lines in Boulder, contact DNI Heating and Air to schedule a camera inspection and review the findings together.
The Camera Shows What Is Happening Below Ground
During a camera inspection in Boulder, a waterproof camera is inserted into the pipe system through a cleanout, drain opening, or other access point. The camera travels through the pipe and transmits live video that shows the interior walls, any buildup or debris, and structural issues such as cracks, offsets, or collapsed sections. The depth and location of the camera are tracked so that any problem areas can be pinpointed on your property.
Once the inspection is complete, you will have a clear understanding of what is causing the issue, where it is located, and what type of repair or cleaning is needed. There is no need to dig exploratory holes or remove drywall to find the problem, which reduces both the cost and disruption of the repair process.
Camera inspections are particularly useful when tree roots have invaded a sewer line, when older pipes are suspected of cracking or corroding, or when a blockage cannot be cleared with standard methods. The inspection reveals whether the pipe can be cleaned and reused or whether a section needs to be replaced. The video footage can also be saved and reviewed later if needed.
You Probably Want to Know What the Camera Will Show
Many homeowners are unfamiliar with what a camera inspection involves or what it can actually detect. The process is straightforward, and the results provide clear visual evidence of what is happening inside your plumbing system.
What kinds of problems can a camera inspection detect?
Camera inspections can identify cracks, root intrusions, blockages, leaks, corrosion, collapsed sections, and buildup inside pipes. The camera shows the condition of the pipe walls and any obstructions that are affecting flow.
How does the camera get inside the pipe?
The camera is attached to a flexible cable and inserted through an existing access point such as a cleanout, drain opening, or removed fixture. It travels through the pipe and transmits video back to a monitor in real time.
How long does a camera inspection take?
Most inspections are completed within an hour, depending on the length of the pipe being inspected and the complexity of the system. You will be able to view the footage and discuss findings immediately after the inspection is finished.
Do I need a camera inspection before repairing a sewer line?
A camera inspection is recommended if the cause of the sewer issue is unclear or if previous repairs have not resolved the problem. It allows us to locate the exact issue and determine the most effective repair method in Boulder.
Can the camera inspection damage my pipes?
No, the camera is designed to move safely through pipes without causing damage. It is waterproof, flexible, and built to navigate bends and joints without scraping or impacting the pipe walls.
Camera inspections provide accurate information that prevents unnecessary digging and helps you make informed decisions about repairs or replacements. If you are experiencing drainage problems, slow fixtures, or sewer backups in Boulder, DNI Heating and Air can perform a camera inspection to show you exactly what is happening inside your pipes and recommend the right next step.
