FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection?
A plumbing camera inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic service in which a high-resolution, waterproof camera is inserted into your home’s drain or sewer line. The live video feed lets our licensed Benton plumbers see the exact condition of the pipe interior—including clogs, cracks, roots, corrosion, and other defects—without digging or dismantling fixtures.
Why might I need a sewer camera inspection in Benton?
Recurring backups, slow drains, unexplained odors, or wet spots in the yard can signal hidden pipe problems. A camera inspection pinpoints the cause and location so repairs are quicker, less disruptive, and more affordable. Many Benton homeowners also schedule an inspection before purchasing property to avoid costly surprises after closing.
What kinds of issues can the camera detect?
The equipment can identify grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed or offset sections, corrosion, scale, tree-root intrusion, and even incorrect pipe slope. It also verifies pipe material and diameter, which helps us choose the best repair method—whether that’s hydro-jetting, trenchless lining, or spot repair.
How much does a plumbing camera inspection cost in Benton?
Prices typically range from $150 to $350 for a standard residential line, depending on pipe length and accessibility. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before work begins, and the fee is often credited toward any repair performed the same day.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The camera is attached to a flexible fiber-optic cable that slides through the pipe via an existing clean-out or access point. Because we don’t dig or cut into the plumbing, your yard, driveway, and interior finishes remain untouched, and your pipes suffer no additional stress.
How long does the inspection take and what happens afterward?
Most residential inspections take 30–60 minutes. You can watch the real-time video with the technician and ask questions. Afterward, we provide a digital recording and a written report summarizing findings, recommended repairs, and cost estimates so you can make an informed decision right away.
