FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it work?
A plumbing camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line. As the camera travels through the pipe, it transmits live video to a monitor that our technician reviews on site. The footage allows us to pinpoint blockages, cracks, root intrusions, misaligned joints, or other defects without digging or guessing. We record the video and mark the depth and location of any problems so we can recommend the most effective drain-opening or repair solution.
Why should I choose camera inspection for my Coalmont property instead of traditional methods?
Traditional “blind” methods, such as snaking or excavation, can be time-consuming, costly, and sometimes unnecessary. A camera inspection gives you visual proof of the problem and its exact location, which means: • No unnecessary digging or yard damage. • Accurate cost estimates before work begins. • Faster repairs because we know the precise spot to address. • Peace of mind that the issue is fully resolved—many clients keep the video for their records or to show insurance companies or future buyers.
What types of drain issues can your camera inspection detect?
Our state-of-the-art cameras can identify a wide range of problems, including: grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed or bellied sections, corroded cast-iron, offset joints, tree-root intrusion, pipe fractures, and even lost jewelry. We can inspect lines from 1½" to 12" in diameter, making the service ideal for kitchen and bathroom drains, main sewer lines, and even perimeter French drains.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The process is entirely non-destructive. The camera and push rod are designed to glide smoothly through PVC, cast-iron, clay, or ABS pipe without scratching or damaging the interior. Because we access the line through an existing clean-out or a small opening we cut inside the building, there’s no need to excavate your yard, driveway, or landscaping just to see what’s wrong.
How quickly can you arrive in Coalmont and how long does an inspection take?
We’re locally based and can typically be on site anywhere in Coalmont the same day you call—often within a two-hour window for emergencies. A standard residential camera inspection averages 45–60 minutes from setup to clean-up. Larger commercial lines or multiple branch lines may take longer, but we always provide a time estimate before starting.
What happens after the inspection? Do you offer drain opening and repairs on site?
Yes. Once we identify the obstruction or damage, our trucks are stocked with professional-grade augers, hydro-jetting equipment, root cutters, and trenchless repair materials. We can usually perform the necessary drain opening or minor repairs immediately. If the problem requires a more extensive fix, such as pipe bursting or re-lining, we’ll give you a detailed written quote and schedule the work at your convenience. Either way, you receive a digital copy of the inspection video and a comprehensive report for your records.
