FAQs
What is a video pipe inspection and why is it useful for drain problems?
A video pipe inspection involves inserting a small, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line. The live feed lets our licensed plumbers pinpoint the exact location and nature of blockages, cracks, or root intrusions without guessing or unnecessary digging. This accuracy means faster repairs, lower costs, and less disruption to your Clinton property.
What issues can your video inspection equipment detect in my Clinton home’s plumbing system?
Our state-of-the-art cameras can identify grease buildup, broken or collapsed pipes, tree-root intrusion, corrosion, misaligned pipe sections, foreign objects, and bellied or sagging sections of pipe. We also verify the condition of older clay, cast-iron, or PVC lines, giving you a clear report and footage of any defects.
Is video inspection safe for older or fragile pipes, and will my yard need to be dug up?
Yes. The camera and cable are designed to be gentle on all pipe materials, even brittle clay or cast iron. Because the inspection is done entirely from the inside, there’s no need to excavate—saving your landscaping, driveway, and walkways from damage. We only recommend digging if the footage shows a section that truly requires replacement.
How long does a typical video inspection and drain opening service take in Clinton?
Most residential jobs are completed in 60–90 minutes. First, we run the camera to locate and diagnose the problem. Then we use the appropriate drain-opening method—such as mechanical augering or high-pressure hydro-jetting—to clear the line. Complex issues, like multiple blockages or extensive root intrusion, may take longer, but we’ll provide an estimate on-site before we start.
What does your video inspection and drain-opening service cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Pricing depends on line length, severity of blockage, and accessibility. For most single-family homes in Clinton, a combined inspection and standard drain clearing starts at $199, with no hidden fees. If repairs or replacement are needed, we give a detailed written quote so you can approve the work—and the cost—before we proceed.
Do you offer emergency drain services, and which areas around Clinton do you cover?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency drain opening throughout Clinton and surrounding communities, including Annandale, Beaver Valley, and the I-680 corridor. Our technicians arrive fully equipped with cameras, locators, and clearing tools, so we can diagnose and solve most problems in a single visit—day or night.
