FAQs
What is a sewer-camera inspection and how does it benefit commercial properties in Greeneville?
A sewer-camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your building’s main sewer line or lateral lines. The live video allows our licensed plumbers to see the pipe’s interior condition in real time, identify blockages, cracks, intruding tree roots, or corrosion, and precisely locate trouble spots without excavation. For Greeneville businesses, this means faster diagnostics, minimized downtime, and more targeted, cost-effective repairs.
How often should a Greeneville business schedule a sewer-camera inspection?
For most commercial facilities, we recommend a preventive camera inspection every 18–24 months. Restaurants, food-processing plants, and properties with high grease or chemical discharge should consider annual inspections. Scheduling routine assessments helps you detect early warning signs, avoid emergency backups, and stay compliant with local Greeneville codes.
Will a camera inspection disrupt my daily operations or require shutting down the building?
No. Sewer-camera inspections are non-invasive and typically performed through existing clean-outs or small access points. Our technicians can complete most surveys in one to two hours without shutting off water service or interrupting your staff or customers. If the inspection is scheduled outside peak business hours, downtime is virtually zero.
What common issues can the camera detect in commercial sewer lines?
Our HD cameras can spot a wide range of problems, including grease buildup, scale deposits, broken or collapsed sections, misaligned joints, root intrusion, foreign objects, deteriorated cast-iron pipes, and illegal cross-connections. By pinpointing the exact depth and location, we can plan trenchless repairs or traditional excavation only where necessary.
How much does a commercial sewer-camera inspection cost in Greeneville?
Pricing depends on pipe length, access points, and whether you need recorded footage for insurance or municipal reporting. For most small to mid-sized commercial buildings in Greeneville, inspections start around $325. Larger facilities or multi-drain line surveys may range between $450 and $850. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes so you know the full cost before any work begins.
What happens after the inspection if problems are found?
You receive a digital video file, a written condition report, and a clear recommendation plan. If repairs are needed, we offer trenchless pipe lining, hydro-jet cleaning, sectional pipe replacement, or traditional excavation—whichever is most effective and budget-friendly. Because we’ve already mapped the exact defect locations, repair work is faster, less invasive, and more economical than guessing or digging blindly.
