FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and why would I need one?
A plumbing camera inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof video camera attached to a flexible cable to travel through your drain or sewer lines. The live feed allows our Evensville technicians to see the exact condition of your pipes without excavation. Homeowners request inspections to locate blockages, identify the cause of recurring backups, verify the overall health of older piping before a remodel, or document the system’s condition during real-estate transactions.
How does a camera inspection help with pipe upgrades?
Before we recommend any upgrade—whether it’s replacing sections of galvanized steel with PVC or installing a trenchless liner—we need accurate information about pipe diameter, material, slope, and damage. The camera gives us this data in real time, so we can create a precise upgrade plan, order the correct materials, and limit the amount of pipe that must be replaced. This lowers project cost, reduces time on site, and ensures the upgraded system meets Evensville plumbing codes.
What kinds of problems can the camera detect in my Evensville home’s piping?
The camera can pinpoint tree-root intrusion, collapsed or bellied sections, corrosion, scale buildup, punctures, misaligned joints, and hidden blockages such as grease or foreign objects. We also measure standing water depth inside the pipe, which tells us whether there is inadequate slope. Identifying these conditions early allows us to perform targeted pipe repairs or full upgrades before a small issue turns into an expensive emergency.
Will my yard or floors need to be dug up for an inspection or upgrade?
The inspection itself is completely non-invasive; we enter the line through an existing cleanout or fixture, so no digging or cutting is required. For upgrades, we offer trenchless options—including pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining—that typically require only two small access pits. Traditional open-trench replacement is still available when necessary, but we always discuss the least disruptive solutions first.
How long does the camera inspection and upgrade process take?
Most single-family home inspections in Evensville take 60–90 minutes, and you receive a digital video file and written report the same day. If an upgrade is needed, small sectional repairs can often be completed in one day, while full sewer replacements or trenchless relining usually take 1–3 days depending on pipe length and depth. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
What will the service cost, and do you offer estimates?
Our stand-alone camera inspections start at approximately $225 for residential properties within the Evensville city limits. If you proceed with an upgrade through us, we credit the inspection fee toward the job. Because every system is unique, upgrade pricing ranges widely—from a few hundred dollars for a short spot repair to several thousand for a complete sewer replacement. After viewing the live camera footage, we prepare a written, itemized estimate that breaks down material, labor, and permit fees so there are no surprises.
