How Leasing a Pipe Inspection Camera Can Help Your Plumbing Business
Pipe inspection is a bread-and-butter plumbing task – and one where advanced camera technology can simplify tasks. Blockages are a prime example of how a remote CCTV camera can be used to quickly identify the location and cause of the problem allowing the tradie to take relevant action.
Today’s pipe inspection cameras range from manual push rod cameras to cutting-edge robotic systems, such as:
Plumbers can streamline their workload with the eyes-on advantage an inspection camera brings – and introducing advanced camera technology by leasing equipment makes it an affordable option for businesses of all sizes.
The advantages of leasing
Every plumber knows the complexities of accurate quotes and pricing. Blockages are a prime example of this and one where pipe inspection camera technology can revolutionise such tasks.
Yet an outright purchase of a camera is often impractical. Not only can it be a financial impossibility, but rapid equipment advances often mean that today’s purchase soon becomes yesterday’s outdated technology.
This is not the case with leasing. A quality lease agreement provides a plumber with the latest inspection camera tech and the option to upgrade as new models come to market.
Other benefits include:
- Expanded capabilities: Pipe inspection cameras improve diagnostic capabilities. The ability to easily pinpoint the cause and location of a blockage allows accurate quotations and faster solutions.
- Competitive advantage: The faster a problem can be identified, the more streamlined the process becomes. Removing any guesswork from a task not only allows for accurate quotations, but it also reduces the length of time a job takes. This equals better customer service, reduces workload and positively impacts a business’s bottom line.
- Access to the latest technology: Remote visual inspection (RVI) technology is constantly evolving. Not only does a leasing model remove the need for an upfront investment, but it allows for upgrades when more advanced models become available.
- Reduced maintenance costs: A good leasing service includes all the necessary maintenance services. In addition, should there be an issue with a camera, you can expect a timely repair or replacement while yours is out of service.
- Operational flexibility: There are many different RVI cameras available. While a push rod camera or pipeline inspection CCTV often provides sufficient coverage for many domestic and industrial tasks, if a different approach is needed then it’s easy to lease an alternative, such as a robotic crawler, for one-off use.
- Improved cash flow: Leasing removes the need to tie up capital. For larger companies, this allows funds to be directed to other areas and for smaller ones it allows them to take full advantage of cutting-edge technology that might be impossible to finance with an outright purchase.
Leasing is a viable and progressive way for plumbing companies to improve their customer services without a large, upfront financial commitment. Nexxis leads the way in dynamic leasing solutions, with options tailored to suit business needs. Examples of pipe inspection cameras include a crab robot for vertical pipe inspections and the push rod Wohler Viz 700 HD video inspection system.
