What is Drain Corrosion?

It is believed that drain corrosion occurs when pipes age or are exposed to a variety of chemical substances. Or it may occur because of plumbing accidents, for example corrosion-causing drain cleaners that damage PVC pipes. Corrosion causes a myriad of problems including leaks or blockages that can cause permanent damage. However, determining the exact location of problem could be challenging.

The process is straightforward:

We insert a fiber-optic camera attached to a flexible cable through the drain.
The camera records high-resolution photos of the inside of your drain pipes. These are transmitted back to our team working at our central control centre.
Our highly trained technicians utilize these images to detect and pinpoint any flaws in the pipe, e.g. corrosion.
