FAQs
What is an advanced camera inspection for main sewer lines?
An advanced camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof video camera attached to a flexible cable through the main sewer line. The real-time footage lets our licensed Cookeville technicians see the inside of the pipe—identifying root intrusions, breaks, blockages, corrosion, or sagging sections—without digging up your yard or flooring.
Why should Cookeville homeowners schedule a camera inspection when experiencing plumbing issues?
Cookeville’s mix of older clay or cast-iron piping and newer PVC means problems can stem from age, soil movement, or tree roots. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause and location of an issue, allowing us to recommend the most effective and least invasive repair—saving you time, money, and unnecessary excavation.
What warning signs indicate I may need a main line camera inspection?
Persistent drain backups in multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, unusually lush patches of lawn, or sudden spikes in water bills all signal possible main line trouble. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Cookeville home, a camera inspection provides quick, definitive answers before damage worsens.
How long does a typical main line camera inspection take?
For most Cookeville residences, the process lasts 45–60 minutes from setup to final diagnosis. Complex systems, multiple clean-outs, or severely blocked lines can add time, but even extensive inspections rarely exceed two hours.
Will a camera inspection identify every type of sewer problem?
Yes. The high-definition equipment reveals cracks, offsets, collapsed sections, corrosion, root growth, grease buildup, and even improper pipe slope. We record the footage and provide digital copies or links so you can see the evidence yourself and make informed repair decisions.
How much does a main line camera inspection cost in Cookeville?
Prices vary by line length and accessibility, but most residential inspections range from $175 to $300, including a written report and video file. We offer flat-rate upfront pricing—no hidden fees—and credit the inspection cost toward any repair we complete on the identified problem.
