FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and why is it important for main line issues?
A sewer camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your main wastewater line. Real-time video lets our licensed technicians see the interior condition of the pipe without digging. For Ducktown homeowners, this non-invasive service pinpoints blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and pipe sagging, allowing us to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective repair before small issues become expensive emergencies.
How can I tell if my Ducktown home needs a main line camera inspection?
Common warning signs include frequent toilet backups, gurgling drains, multiple fixtures draining slowly at once, unexplained wet spots in the yard, or foul sewer odors inside or outside your home. If your house is more than 30 years old or you have large trees near the lateral line, a preventive inspection is also wise—even if symptoms haven’t appeared yet.
Will a camera inspection damage my plumbing or disturb my yard?
No. The camera is introduced through an existing clean-out or pulled back through a removed fixture such as a toilet. No excavation, cutting, or chemical treatments are required, so your landscaping, flooring, and plumbing remain undisturbed. The process is 100% diagnostic and leaves your system exactly as we found it.
What kinds of problems can the camera actually find in a main sewer line?
The camera can identify breaks, offsets, root intrusions, corrosion, grease build-ups, bellies (low spots where water pools), pipe material changes, and objects that have become lodged in the line. It also measures distance, so we can mark the precise location and depth of any defect for targeted repair.
How much does a camera inspection cost in Ducktown and what affects the price?
For most single-family homes in Ducktown, a stand-alone main line camera inspection ranges from $200 to $350. Price varies based on the length of the line, ease of access, and whether you need a digital recording and written report for real-estate or insurance purposes. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees.
What happens after the inspection—is repair service available right away?
Immediately after reviewing the footage with you, we’ll provide a detailed condition report and repair options, which could include snaking, hydro-jetting, trenchless lining, or targeted excavation. Because our trucks are fully stocked, we can often perform minor cleaning or spot repairs the same day. For larger projects, we’ll schedule work at your convenience and pull any required Ducktown permits on your behalf.
