FAQs
What is a video plumbing inspection and how does it work?
A video plumbing inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable. A licensed technician inserts the cable through an existing clean-out or a small access point and guides it down the main sewer line. Real-time footage appears on a monitor, letting the plumber see the pipe’s interior condition, identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, bellies, and other defects without excavation. Once finished, you’ll receive a detailed report—and often a digital copy of the video—so you can make informed repair decisions.
Why might I need a main line video inspection in Estill Springs?
Estill Springs has a mix of older homes with clay or cast-iron laterals and newer builds tied into PVC. Shifting soils, seasonal ground movement, and tree root growth around Woods Reservoir can all accelerate pipe deterioration. A video inspection pinpoints hidden issues before they escalate into sewage backups, foul odors, or property damage. It’s especially valuable if you’re buying a home, experiencing recurring drain clogs, or planning major landscaping that could disturb underground plumbing.
What warning signs indicate a possible main sewer line problem?
• Multiple fixtures backing up at once (e.g., toilets and tubs) • Gurgling sounds or air bubbles in toilets when you run a sink or washer • Slow drains throughout the house despite snaking individual lines • Sewage odors in the yard or basement • Wet or sunken patches in the lawn even during dry weather • Unexplained spikes in your water bill due to hidden leaks If you notice one or more of these signs in Estill Springs, schedule a camera inspection promptly to avoid costly emergency repairs.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The process is entirely non-invasive. The technician uses an existing clean-out or removes a toilet for access; both methods avoid digging. The camera head is smooth and sized to navigate standard residential sewer diameters (typically 3"–6"). Because no chemicals or high-pressure water are involved during the inspection itself, your pipes, lawn, and hardscape remain untouched.
How much does a main line video inspection cost, and what’s included?
In Estill Springs, our standard residential main line camera inspection starts at $199. The price includes: • Arrival within a two-hour appointment window • Up to 100 feet of camera footage through one access point • On-screen explanation of findings while you watch the monitor • A digital video file or cloud link you can share with insurance or real-estate agents • A written condition report with repair or maintenance recommendations Extended line lengths, severe blockages requiring augering, or multiple access points may add modest surcharges, which we quote upfront.
How quickly can you schedule and complete a video inspection in Estill Springs?
We offer same-day or next-day appointments for most Estill Springs addresses. The inspection itself typically takes 45–60 minutes. If we discover an urgent blockage or break, our crew can often transition immediately to hydro-jetting, trenchless lining, or spot repair—minimizing downtime and ensuring your plumbing system is back in service as fast as possible.
