When you’re having trouble with your sewage lines, the problem isn’t always obvious. The problem could be a clog that can be easily removed with a snake, or it could be a cracked pipe leaking wastewater into your home’s foundation. Instead of guessing and spending the time and effort to troubleshoot, many plumbers perform sewer camera inspections.
The video shows what’s causing the issue and where the issue is located. This helps homeowners save money because of the reduced labor hours involved in the repair.
The knowledgeable technicians here at Rudd, Plumbing, Heating and Air regularly use camera inspections to solve plumbing issues for our clients throughout Charleston, SC.
Comprehensive Camera Inspections in Charleston
During plumbing camera inspections, a small camera with a flexible cord gets inserted into a drainage system, usually at a cleanout. While the video feed is rarely super high definition, it’s more than sufficient to identify issues such as tree roots blocking drains or collapsed sewage lines.
Before sewer camera inspections, plumbers often performed unnecessary demotion to identify the cause of a drainage issue. They may have dug unsightly trenches into a landscaped yard or had to jackhammer through a tiled floor just to confirm a hunch.
Plumbing camera inspections offer several benefits, including:
Prevent unnecessary demolition and cleanup
Get documentation for insurance claims
Locate hidden leaks
Assurance before buying a home
Using camera inspections to identify drainage issues saves time and money. While sewer camera inspections aren’t free, they’re a lot more affordable than paying a plumber to troubleshoot every possible cause of a drainage issue.
Since many homeowner’s policies exclude coverage for repairs to plumbing, a camera inspection can be critical if there’s ever doubt about a covered cause of loss. If drainage pipes do get damaged by a covered cause of loss, but it happened before your policy began, insurance won’t cover it. That’s why it’s especially important for new homebuyers to perform thorough inspections of a home’s plumbing before finalizing the paperwork.
Charleston’s Trusted Camera Inspection Company
Plumbing camera inspections offer a non-invasive way to identify issues with drainage lines in your home. They prevent unnecessary mess and give peace of mind to new homebuyers. If you ever file an insurance claim for plumbing damage, sewage camera inspections provide objective proof of the cause of loss.
Plumbers who don’t use camera inspections often end up damaging lawns by digging trenches to find the underlying cause.

"Rudd Plumbing, Heating and Air are the BEST!.. Adam, Joshua, Shaun, and crews have not let us down. I would highly recommend this group for reliability, price and expertise."
The crew was very professional during the process of installing the new system. They kept me informed on how the installation was going. Answered all questions about the installation process and the ones I asked. Once the installation was complete they made sure that I was satisfied and they cleaned the area thoroughly. I gave them 5 stars. Hopefully the follow up inspection will be completed soon. There is still some work to be completed, cosmetic repair.
Michael was great- knowledgeable and friendly! I was kept informed with updates of the appointment time and my issue was quickly fixed. Highly recommend!

Tyler was excellent! He is very knowledgeable and professional. He and his crew installed a new ac system to replace an old one. Everything was done quickly, quietly and efficiently with no mess. Tyler helped me program the thermostat to my phone and came back when I got an alert and checked everything out to make sure the system was running properly. I would highly recommend Rudd for any problems. Everyone there is very helpful and nice.

Josh was the technician that came to service my A/C unit this afternoon. Josh was friendly , professional and thorough. He thoroughly explained the work he did and showed me pictures of the completed work and asked if I had any questions. Top notch service again! He was also very thoughtful and changed the air filters for me do I wouldn’t have to mess with the heavy ladder. I only use Rudd Plumbing, Heating & Air. They are simply the best!
We had a wonderful experience with Rudd for our recent installation of a mini-split a/c in our garage. They took care of everything from insulating the attic, wiring the electrical, and installing the unit and it was done seamlessly and in less than 4 hours!! Awesome service and team…
Rudd installed a completely new HVAC system for us on May 21st, as well as 3 new toilets and a water filtration system in our home. Their staff each had specific duties and responsibilities, and the HVAC team worked separately from the plumbing guys. They were cordial, professional, and each person knew their role and remained focused on the successful completion of their duties. They were open to politely answering our questions, and each team’s supervisors stopped in through the day to check on progress. Everything’s working great, and we’re very pleased we chose Rudd.
Seth came on time, on Sunday, Independence Day weekend, to resolve my water heater problem. Explained the issues, offered resolutions and scheduled to replace the unit. Very knowledgeable and amiable. Will replace tomorrow early morning. Great service!
I had a condition with an air conditioning unit. They sent Brandon Hatfield out to my house to help me with my problem. He was fantastic. He could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful than anyone I have ever dealt with before as far as maintenance on heating and air And did extremely well with great detail shown for every phase of the project. I could not have been happier with him. He will be the only person I will work on my unit from this point on.
