FAQs
What is a plumbing video-inspection and how does it help with drain opening in Clairfield?
A plumbing video-inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your home or businessâs drain lines. The live video lets our Clairfield technicians see the exact condition of the pipe interior, locate blockages, cracks, tree-root intrusion, or grease buildup, and determine the most effective drain-opening method. It eliminates guesswork, reduces unnecessary digging, and speeds up the repair process.
How quickly can you schedule a video-inspection service in Clairfield?
In most cases we can schedule same-day or next-day appointments within Clairfield city limits. For emergency backups, our on-call crews are available 24/7 and can usually arrive within 60â90 minutes. Simply call our dispatch line, and weâll confirm the earliest slot based on technician availability and your location.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The camera head is about the size of a small flashlight and is attached to a flexible cable that slides smoothly through the pipe. Because weâre viewing the line from the inside, thereâs no need to dig up your yard, driveway, or flooring unless a repair is required and you approve it. The process is non-invasive and safe for PVC, cast iron, clay, and ABS piping.
What kinds of blockages can the camera identify before you open the drain?
Our cameras can pinpoint clogs caused by hair, grease, soap scum, foreign objects, collapsed pipe sections, misaligned joints, and invasive tree roots. They also reveal corrosion, scale buildup, and bellies (sags) that trap waste. With this information, we can choose the proper drain-opening techniqueâwhether itâs hydro-jetting, mechanical augering, or trenchless pipe repair.
How much does a video-inspection and drain opening typically cost in Clairfield?
Pricing depends on line length, pipe size, and the severity of the blockage, but most residential inspections in Clairfield range from $175 to $300. If a drain-opening service is required immediately afterward, we credit a portion of the inspection fee toward the cleaning cost. We provide upfront, written estimates before any work begins so youâll know the exact cost.
Do I get a copy of the inspection footage for insurance or future reference?
Yes. After completing the inspection, we provide a digital recording and a written condition report. This documentation is useful for insurance claims, real-estate sales, or future maintenance planning. We also archive the video securely for one year, so if you misplace your copy, just contact us and weâll resend it at no extra charge.
