FAQs
What is a video-inspection camera service for plumbing, and why is it useful for drain opening in Gruetli-Laager?
A video inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that is inserted into your drain or sewer line. Real-time footage allows our licensed Gruetli-Laager technicians to see exactly what is happening inside the pipe—whether it’s a grease clog, tree-root intrusion, a collapsed section, or another obstruction. This precise diagnosis eliminates guesswork, speeds up repairs, and prevents unnecessary digging or pipe replacement.
How does the video-inspection and drain-opening process work from start to finish?
1. We access the line through a clean-out or remove the closest fixture (e.g., a toilet). 2. The camera is slowly fed through the pipe while transmitting live images to a monitor. 3. We mark the location and depth of any problem using an above-ground locator. 4. After identifying the blockage, we select the best drain-opening method—such as hydro-jetting, power-snaking, or root-cutting. 5. Once the line is cleared, we reinstate the camera to confirm the pipe is fully open and verify there is no hidden structural damage.
What symptoms should prompt me to schedule a camera inspection for my home or business in Gruetli-Laager?
Persistent slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling toilets, foul sewer odors, water backing up into tubs or floor drains, and unexplained wet spots in your yard are common red flags. If you are buying a property—or have an older home with clay or cast-iron pipes—an inspection is also strongly recommended to avoid costly surprises.
Will the camera or drain-opening equipment damage my pipes, lawn, or landscaping?
No. The camera head is smooth, low-profile, and designed to navigate bends without scraping the pipe walls. Because the inspection pinpoints problems, we rarely need to excavate; if digging is required, it is confined to a small, accurately marked area. Our hydro-jetting and power-snaking tools are matched to your pipe material (PVC, cast iron, etc.) to ensure safe, effective cleaning.
Can you tell exactly where the clog or break is located—and how deep it is?
Yes. The camera’s built-in radio transmitter relays its position and depth to an above-ground locator. We can mark the exact spot on your driveway, basement floor, or yard to within a few inches. This accuracy lets us open the drain or repair the pipe with minimal disruption and cost.
How much does a plumbing camera inspection cost in Gruetli-Laager, and do you offer any guarantees?
Most residential inspections start at $249, which includes a full color video, a written condition report, and basic line locating up to 150 feet. If drain opening is required during the same visit, we’ll credit a portion of that fee toward the cleaning service. All workmanship is backed by a 30-day clog-free guarantee (hydro-jetting includes a 6-month warranty). Upfront, flat-rate pricing means you’ll never see surprise charges.
