Finding leaks with a camera and repairing them with a balloon
When a leak occurs in a plastic pipe, such as a rainwater pipe, the exact spot can be hard to find. We locate it by feeding a camera into the pipe, then repair it by inserting a balloon that forms a new, complete inner wall over the damaged section.
Common causes of leaks in PVC piping: 1. A connection between two pipe sections (male and female) that was not made properly. 2. A seal that was installed incorrectly. 3. Poor welds. 4. Mechanical damage to the pipe, such as a nail puncturing it.
