FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and how does it work?
A sewer camera inspection involves sending a high-resolution, waterproof video camera through your home’s main drain or clean-out access. The camera, attached to a flexible push rod, transmits live footage to a monitor above ground, allowing our licensed plumbers to see blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or pipe deterioration in real time. We also use an electronic locator to pinpoint the camera head’s exact position and depth, so any problem areas can be marked from the surface without excavation.
Why should Caryville homeowners get a sewer camera inspection?
Caryville’s mix of older clay and cast-iron sewer lines and newer PVC piping means hidden issues can develop without warning. A camera inspection gives you a clear picture of your line’s condition, helps prevent emergency backups, and can confirm whether you really need expensive repairs. It’s also a valuable tool before buying or selling a home—many local real-estate contracts now recommend a sewer scope for peace of mind.
What signs indicate I need a sewer line camera inspection?
Persistent clogs, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard, patches of unusually green grass, or unexplained water bills can all signal sewer problems. If your home is over 25 years old or you have large trees near the sewer line, an annual inspection is a smart preventive measure even if symptoms aren’t obvious yet.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Caryville?
Most standard residential inspections range from $225 to $350. Pricing depends on the length of the line, access points, and whether you request a digital recording and written report for real-estate use. We’ll provide an upfront quote, and if we perform repair work afterward, we often credit part of the inspection fee toward the job.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The process is completely non-invasive. The camera is introduced through an existing clean-out or a small access opening inside the home; no digging is required. Because we’re simply viewing the interior of the pipe, there’s no risk of scratching, breaking, or otherwise harming your sewer line.
What happens after the inspection if problems are found?
You’ll receive a detailed explanation, video stills, and precise depth and location data for each issue. Our team will outline repair options—from trenchless pipe lining to spot repairs or full replacement—and give you honest cost estimates. You can schedule repairs immediately or seek additional bids; the footage is yours to keep for reference or insurance claims.
