Camera Inspections for Accurate Diagnoses
When plumbing issues arise in your commercial property, guesswork is not an option. Harvey W. Hottel, Inc. uses advanced video pipe inspection technology to deliver fast, accurate diagnoses for commercial properties throughout Washington, DC.
How Video Pipe Inspection Works
Our licensed technicians insert a small, waterproof camera into your plumbing system. As it travels through the pipes, it transmits live footage, allowing our team to:
- Pinpoint the exact location of blockages, cracks, or buildup
- Identify root intrusion, corrosion, or pipe deterioration
- Assess the overall condition of your underground or interior piping
Benefits of Our Camera Inspections
Choosing our camera inspection over traditional diagnostic methods offers significant advantages:
- Precise diagnosis
- Non-invasive process
- Cost-effective repairs
- Faster turnaround
Why DIY Is Never the Right Answer for Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing systems are significantly more complex than residential systems. They operate under higher pressures, serve more users, and are subject to stricter regulations. Attempting DIY repairs on a commercial plumbing system can result in costly mistakes, code violations, and damage that is far more expensive to fix than the original plumbing problem. Leave it to Harvey W. Hottel professionals who handle these systems every day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Plumbing in the DC Metro Area
We provide commercial plumbing installation, repair, and maintenance, including water heaters, sump pumps and ejectors, backflow prevention, hydro jetting and drain cleaning, video pipe inspections, grease trap inspections, storm drainage, and water, sewer, and drain line work.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear grease, scale, and debris from commercial drain and sewer lines. It is a strong option for recurring clogs, slow drains, or facilities like restaurants where grease buildup is common.
Backflow prevention keeps contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. Many jurisdictions in the DMV require commercial properties to have backflow devices tested on a regular schedule, and we install, test, and repair them.
