FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it work for commercial properties in Farragut?
A plumbing camera inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod that is fed through your building’s clean-outs or drain openings. As the camera travels through the pipes, real-time video is transmitted to a monitor so our licensed technicians can visually assess the condition of your drain and sewer lines. This non-invasive method allows us to locate blockages, breaks, corrosion, and other defects without digging or shutting down large sections of your plumbing system.
Why should my Farragut business schedule a camera inspection instead of a traditional diagnostic?
Traditional diagnostics often rely on guesswork, trial-and-error snaking, or costly exploratory excavation. A camera inspection delivers pinpoint accuracy, saving you time, labor, and money. It identifies the exact problem location, confirms pipe material and diameter, and documents the overall health of your system. The result is faster repairs, minimized downtime for your staff and customers, and a clear record that can be used for insurance claims or future maintenance planning.
What types of plumbing issues can a camera inspection detect in commercial systems?
Our advanced cameras can identify grease and sludge buildup, tree-root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, misaligned joints, corrosion, scale deposits, bellies (sags), foreign objects, and improper or deteriorated connections. By catching these issues early, your business can avoid emergency backups, foul odors, and expensive restoration costs associated with major sewer failures.
Will a camera inspection disrupt my business operations or require excavation?
No. The procedure is completely trenchless and typically performed through existing access points. Most inspections are completed while your facility remains open, with minimal impact on foot traffic or workflow. Because we see inside the line before recommending repairs, we can often avoid excavation altogether or limit it to a very small, precisely targeted area.
How long does a commercial plumbing camera inspection take and what do I receive afterward?
Inspection time varies with pipe length and complexity, but most commercial properties in Farragut are fully inspected in 60–90 minutes. Afterward, you receive a digital video file or cloud link, high-resolution still images of any problem areas, a written condition report, and a clear estimate for any recommended repairs or maintenance. This documentation serves as a valuable asset for budgeting, facility management, and regulatory compliance.
How often should commercial properties in Farragut have their drain and sewer lines inspected with cameras?
For most restaurants, healthcare facilities, and high-occupancy buildings, we recommend an annual camera inspection due to heavy usage and stricter health codes. Office complexes and retail spaces can often schedule inspections every 18–24 months unless they experience chronic clogs or have aging pipes. After major renovations, changes in occupancy, or suspected line damage (e.g., from nearby construction), an immediate inspection is advisable to ensure the system is functioning properly.
