FAQs
What is a drain camera inspection and how does it work?
A drain-camera inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof video camera mounted on a flexible cable. We insert the cable through an existing clean-out or opening in your drain line and guide it through the pipe while watching a live video feed on a monitor. The camera records the condition, slope, and obstructions inside the pipe so we can pinpoint problems—such as roots, breaks, or buildup—without any excavation.
Why should I schedule a camera inspection before you open or clear my drain?
A camera inspection lets us locate the exact cause and location of the clog, determine the best cleaning method, and verify pipe integrity. Instead of guessing, we see whether your line needs simple augering, high-pressure jetting, or a targeted repair. This saves you time, prevents unnecessary digging, and reduces overall service costs.
What plumbing issues can your camera detect in Blaine homes?
Our cameras routinely find root intrusions from mature trees common in Blaine yards, grease and soap buildup from kitchen lines, collapsed or offset clay tile joints in older homes, corrosion in galvanized or cast-iron pipes, foreign objects, and bellies (low spots) that collect water and debris. We can also confirm proper connections to the city sewer or septic system.
How much does a drain camera inspection and drain opening service cost in Blaine?
Pricing depends on pipe length, location of access, and severity of the blockage, but most residential inspections start around $189. If we need to perform drain opening or hydro-jetting afterward, we credit part of the inspection fee toward the cleaning. We always provide a written, no-obligation quote on-site before we begin work.
Will the camera inspection or drain opening damage my pipes or yard?
No. The camera is non-invasive and travels inside the pipe without cutting or drilling. If we need to clear the line, we use cable machines or water jetting that are safe for properly installed pipes. Because we know exactly where the issue lies, we avoid unnecessary digging and disturbance to your landscaping or driveway.
How fast can you respond to an emergency clog or sewer backup in Blaine?
Our technicians are on call 24/7 for emergencies. In most cases we can be at your Blaine address within 60-90 minutes. We arrive with fully stocked service vehicles that include cameras, drain cables, and jetting equipment so we can diagnose and clear the blockage on the first visit whenever possible.
