FAQs
What is live-feed camera drain inspection and how does it work?
Our technicians feed a high-resolution, waterproof camera, attached to a flexible cable, through the clean-out or an existing drain opening. As the camera travels, it sends a real-time video feed to a monitor above ground, allowing us (and you, if you’d like) to see the interior condition of the pipe. We can pinpoint the exact location and nature of clogs, root intrusions, cracks, or collapsed sections without any guess-work or invasive digging.
Why would I need a camera inspection for my drains in Estill Springs?
Frequent backups, slow drains, foul odors, or unexplained wet spots in the yard often signal hidden issues inside your sewer line. A camera inspection eliminates uncertainty, showing us precisely where and what the problem is. This accuracy saves you money by targeting repairs only where necessary and prevents repeat visits. In older Estill Springs homes with clay or cast-iron pipes, inspections are especially helpful for spotting age-related deterioration before it turns into an emergency.
Is the procedure safe for my plumbing system?
Yes. The camera head is smooth, rounded, and smaller than most common pipe diameters, so it won’t scratch or damage interior pipe walls. The push cable is flexible, allowing navigation around bends without excessive force. We never use harsh chemicals during the inspection, and all equipment is thoroughly sanitized between jobs to protect your plumbing and your household.
How long does a typical camera inspection and drain opening take?
Most residential inspections in Estill Springs take 45–90 minutes from setup to cleanup. If we need to perform hydro-jetting or mechanical drain opening after locating a clog, total service time can extend to 2–3 hours. Larger properties or severely blocked lines may require additional time, but we’ll provide an estimate on-site before any extra work begins.
What kinds of problems can your camera detect inside the pipe?
The live-feed camera reveals a wide range of issues, including grease buildup, scale deposits, foreign objects, partial or full clogs, tree-root intrusions, pipe misalignments, sagging (bellies), cracks, corrosion, and complete collapses. Identifying the exact problem helps us choose the most effective solution—snaking, hydro-jetting, trenchless repair, or full pipe replacement—saving you time and unnecessary expense.
Do I need to do anything before your team arrives?
All we ask is that you clear any stored items around the main clean-out or the drain opening we’ll use, and keep pets and children away from the work area. You don’t need to shut off water or attempt any DIY unclogging; in fact, avoiding chemical drain cleaners beforehand lets us get a clearer view. We’ll handle the rest, from protective floor coverings to post-inspection cleanup.
