Frequently Asked Inspection Questions

1
What camera technology does Vanguard use?

To provide the most comprehensive video plumbing inspections possible, Vanguard Plumbing & Sewer uses the latest RIGID® high definition camera technology. This amazing system allows our plumbers to get thorough views of the interior of customers plumbing systems. We can even share the views with our customer so they see exactly what’s causing their problems. No more believing what you’re told by plumbers without evidence when you choose Vanguard for plumbing inspections.

2
Why is Vanguard the right choice for inspections?

Again, it all comes down to the technology used by the Vanguard team when tasked with video plumbing inspections. Most Chicagoland plumbers use older technology if they use technology at all. That means they’re either planning on tearing up your property to get to pipes and drains or they’re relying on outdated camera views to give them the information they need to diagnose problems correctly. The RIGID® camera technology we use is better all-around with a high definition feed and the length to reach any spaces within your plumbing system.

3
How does RIGID® camera technology differ?

When compared to the competition, RIGID® camera technology is light years ahead for a variety of reasons. First, RIGID® cameras offer a smoother in-pipe visual experience. This means that, unlike so many other video plumbing inspection cameras, RIGID® cameras provide a clear, clean video feed that remains upright in its perspective the entire time. This makes Vanguard’s video plumbing inspections easier to digest, easier to utilize in diagnostics and capable of showing customers what’s happening in their pipes.

4
How can I view the feed from my inspection?

This is another reason why Vanguard is so pleased to offer video plumbing inspections using RIGID® camera technology. Unlike handheld video plumbing inspection tools, the spools that RIGID® cameras use offer a viewing station which Vanguard plumbers will have with them when they visit to perform your video plumbing inspection. This system contains a screen which allows our plumber and you to both view the feed simultaneously. This ensures you see what’s happening and have it explained in real-time.

5
Why does seeing the feed matter to customers?

With complicated systems, like plumbing systems, customers can often feel like they have so little knowledge that it’s easy to be taken advantage of by home service professionals. Vanguard wants to allay that fear in our customers so having a live feed of the video inspection allows us to properly explain an issue and show the customer precisely what we’re talking about. This makes the whole process much smoother and lets us add even more transparency to our plumbing processes. Customers love that and that’s important to us!

6
How does RIGID® high-def camera technology work?

The RIGID® high definition camera technology that Vanguard’s plumbers employs comes in two parts – the camera and the viewer. Think of the camera as you would a plumbing snake. It’s a thin flexible tubing that can be manipulated through your plumbing system by a seasoned Vanguard pro. The high-definition view is then displayed on the viewer. The camera has lighting elements that provide even clearer views and it all takes place without damaging your pipes. Call (773) 633-6139 and our team will answer your questions and schedule an inspection at your property.

7
Does Vanguard’s camera technology cost extra?

While it cost our plumbing company extra to purchase it and train our plumbers on its use, we believe that investment was justified by the outstanding results we deliver to residential and multiunit customers who call us for video plumbing inspections. However, the camera technology doesn’t cost customers extra when they schedule a plumbing inspection. It’s just an added benefit of choosing Vanguard Plumbing & Sewer. Call our team today at (773) 633-6139 to learn more.

8
Will RIGID® camera technology reach long distances?

Yes, our RIGID® cameras have lengthy cabling which makes it possible for our skilled plumbers to achieve excellent results – no matter how complicated the lines we’re viewing happen to be. Normally, the camera is extended to less than 12’ and it does an incredible job with projects and pipework within that distance from the insertion point. Our plumbing experts will walk you through how our video plumbing inspections work and will identify the necessary camera length during the operation itself. Give us a call at (773) 633-6139 to schedule a visit.

9
How does view sharing work during an inspection?

While our RIGID® high definition camera technology offers sharing to individual mobile devices, we actually provide a better viewing platform. Our camera is separate from the second element of our video plumbing system. The second part is a viewing case which contains a screen that carries the feed from the camera. Because of this, it’s simple to watch the feed in real-time with our customers standing right next to us. This also provides customers with firsthand experience of what the problem is so there’s no taking our word for it. Contact us right now at (773) 633-6139 and we’ll tell you more.

10
How long does a video plumbing inspection take?

Thanks to our RIGID® camera technology, our video plumbing inspections take far less time than they used to and produce much better results. Gone are the days when we would have to tear into walls or dig up yards. Now we can use this amazing RIGID® camera technology to show customers precisely what the problems are and gives us an opportunity to explain why our solution is the best course of action. Again, RIGID® camera technology makes it faster but every inspection is different so we’ll give you a better idea when you call (773) 633-6139.
