Evidence &
Case Studies
This page documents real Bison Plumbing work across Macomb and Oakland County — inspection findings, repair outcomes, pre-purchase results, and homeowner situations where documentation made a direct difference. We add new cases as they are reviewed and formatted.
Why Documentation Matters
Most plumbing and sewer companies describe their work. Bison documents it. The difference matters when you need to negotiate a seller credit before a real estate closing, understand exactly why a repair method was recommended over a cheaper alternative, or confirm that a sewer liner was properly cured and sealed before a job is signed off.
This page is a library of that documentation — real inspection footage, real repair outcomes, and real homeowner situations where having evidence changed the financial result. It grows as new cases are added. The cases already documented are linked to their relevant service pages so the context is always one click away.
What This Library Covers
Evidence is organized by type. Each category links to the service pages where the full technical context lives.
Camera Inspection Findings
Picote Solutions HD footage from real sewer lateral inspections — root intrusion, scale buildup, joint offsets, pipe belly, cracks, and collapse. Tagged by city, pipe material, defect type, and repair outcome. The only content on this site that cannot be duplicated by any competitor.
Warren Ferndale Royal Oak Troy Birmingham ● Cases publishedBefore & After Repair Outcomes
Pre-repair camera footage alongside post-repair verification — documenting that the pipe condition was addressed and the liner cured or the line cleared to specification. Covers CIPP lining, hydro jetting, and pipe bursting outcomes.
CIPP Lining Hydro Jetting Pipe Bursting ● Cases publishedPre-Purchase Inspection Findings
Real estate inspection cases where Bison’s camera footage documented lateral defects that standard home inspections missed — and the outcomes those findings produced before closing. Relevant to buyers, sellers, and agents in the Troy, Birmingham, and Royal Oak markets.
Pre-Purchase Seller Credit Price Reduction ● Cases publishedDiagnostic Assessments
Cases where camera footage identified the correct repair method — including cases where footage ruled out the more expensive option. Documents the value of diagnosis-before-commitment and the specific conditions that determine whether CIPP lining, pipe bursting, or targeted excavation is appropriate.
