FAQs
What is a plumbing camera-scope inspection and why do I need one for my Andersonville home or business?
A camera-scope inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line to produce a real-time video of the interior. This lets our licensed plumbers locate blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or pipe sagging without digging. For Andersonville properties—many of which have older clay or cast-iron lines—camera inspection helps pinpoint the problem quickly, saving you time, money, and unnecessary excavation.
How fast can you arrive and open a clogged drain in Andersonville?
Because we’re based just minutes from Clark Street, our technicians can typically reach any address in Andersonville within 60–90 minutes for emergency calls. For non-emergency service, we offer same-day or next-day appointments, including evening and weekend slots at no extra charge. Once on site, most drains are opened within an hour; severe sewer main blockages may take two to three hours including camera diagnostics.
Will the camera inspection or drain-opening process damage my pipes?
No. The cameras we use have smooth, flexible cable housings that glide through 1½-inch to 6-inch lines without scratching or stressing the pipe walls. For clearing blockages, we rely on hydro-jetting or sectional drain machines with appropriately sized, non-scoring blades. These methods are safe for PVC, copper, cast iron, and clay, and they follow industry best practices recommended by the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association.
What kinds of blockages or issues can you detect and clear?
Our equipment can identify and remove: • Grease, soap, and food buildup in kitchen lines • Hair, lint, and paper obstructions in bathroom drains • Tree-root intrusions in main sewer laterals • Scale and corrosion in older cast-iron pipes • Foreign objects (toys, jewelry, wipes) accidentally flushed • Pipe misalignments or bellies that collect debris. After locating the problem with the camera, we select the most effective opening method—cable snaking for soft clogs or hydro-jetting for heavy roots and grease.
How much does a camera inspection and drain opening cost in Andersonville?
Pricing is straightforward: • Standard camera inspection (up to 100 ft): $199 flat rate • Combo package—camera inspection + basic drain opening: $299 • Heavy root hydro-jetting or scale removal: starts at $425 • After-hours emergency service: +$75 surcharge. All prices include footage on a USB drive and a written condition report. We provide exact quotes on site before any work begins, so you are never surprised by hidden fees.
Do you offer any guarantees or warranties on your work?
Yes. All drain openings come with a 30-day no-clog guarantee for the cleared section, and hydro-jetting services include a 6-month warranty against the same obstruction. Camera-scope inspection footage and reports are saved for two years, giving you documentation for insurance or real-estate transactions. If a cleared line backs up within the warranty period, we’ll return at no charge to re-scope and re-open it.
