Miller Plumbing Heating Cooling has been using sewer and drain cameras for a long time. There ability to help diagnose problems have saved our customers thousands of dollars many times over.

One customer  from Upper Saint Clair had a sewer that would clog every few months. After opening the sewer and using the camera for free we found part of a snake that had broke off in the sewer from the last plumber, who never said anything to the home owner. We used a retriever tool and pulled 8′ of broke cable out.

Another customer from West Mifflin  has had problems with the plumbing stack from the second floor bath clogging. Other plumbing companies have opened the stack but we opened the stack and used the camera for free.We found a broom stick in the pipe that we were able to pull out from the roof .

Yet another customer from Baldwin had a clogged sewer.We snaked the sewer almost getting our cable stuck. We camered the sewer for free and found   that when the customer recently had there electrical service updated the electrician drove the ground rod directly through the center of the plastic sewer. The sewer was repaired ,we added a cleanout.

One not so lucky customer buying a home in Moon Twp thought he had covered all the bases. He got a home inspector had the roof and electrical system checked but did not camera the sewer. Three days after moving in the sewer backed up. We could not open the sewer. We pulled back heavy roots.

To make a long story short everything inside the house and outside to the main sewer including a tree that had to be removed was replaced. Roots inside the sewer  were one inch in diameter. As it turns out its not surprising why there were so many stickers on the furnace and hot water tank. The old owners never mentioned or disclosed this problem they had for years.

The camera is a very low cost way to get peace of mind, provided the techician has the experience necessary to  really know what he is looking at.  Experience is like GPS it gives you turn by turn directions to get the job done correctly the first time.
