FAQs
What are advanced diagnostic plumbing tools and how do they benefit Tellico Plains commercial properties?
Advanced diagnostic plumbing tools include high-resolution sewer cameras, acoustic leak detectors, infrared thermography, digital pressure gauges, and tracer-gas systems. They allow our technicians to pinpoint problems without destructive digging or wall removal, saving Tellico Plains businesses time, labor costs, and business interruptions while providing highly accurate repair solutions.
How does video pipe inspection work and when should my business schedule one?
A flexible fiber-optic camera is inserted through a clean-out or fixture and guided through the drain line. The camera transmits real-time HD images to a monitor, revealing blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion. Schedule an inspection if you experience recurring backups, unexplained odors, new construction due-diligence, or before major renovations to verify pipe integrity.
Can acoustic leak detection locate hidden leaks beneath slabs or behind walls?
Yes. Acoustic leak detection uses highly sensitive electronic microphones and frequency filters to “listen” for the unique sound signatures of pressurized water escaping from pipes. By triangulating the sound differences, we can locate leaks beneath concrete slabs, asphalt, or inside wall cavities with accuracy to within a few inches, eliminating guesswork and unnecessary demolition.
Do non-invasive diagnostic methods reduce downtime for my facility?
Absolutely. Because these technologies find the exact source of a problem quickly and without excavation, repairs can be completed faster and with less disruption to daily operations. Many Tellico Plains restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities remain open during diagnostics and subsequent targeted repairs, avoiding costly shutdowns.
Are your technicians certified to operate these advanced diagnostic systems?
All of our commercial plumbing specialists are state-licensed and undergo manufacturer-specific training for each diagnostic tool we use. They maintain certifications in NASSCO PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) for video inspections, as well as OSHA safety training, ensuring accurate data collection and safe on-site practices.
What is the typical cost range for advanced plumbing diagnostics in Tellico Plains, and do you offer upfront pricing?
