FAQs
What is a live-feed plumbing inspection camera and how does it help with drain opening?
A live-feed inspection camera is a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable that is inserted into your drain or sewer line. As the camera travels through the pipe, it broadcasts real-time video to a monitor topside. This live view lets our technicians pinpoint blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or collapsed sections without guesswork. By seeing exactly what’s inside, we can choose the most effective drain-opening technique (snaking, hydro-jetting, spot repair) and avoid unnecessary digging or pipe replacement.
When should I schedule a camera inspection for my drains in Guild?
Consider booking a live-feed camera inspection if you notice persistent clogs, slow drains, gurgling noises, foul odors, repeated sewer backups, or if you’re purchasing a home older than 15 years in Guild. An inspection is also recommended after major construction or landscaping projects, because debris or soil shifts can damage buried pipes.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes or fixtures?
No. The camera head is small, self-contained, and designed to glide smoothly through residential and commercial plumbing lines. It does not scratch or exert pressure on the pipe walls. Because the process is fully non-invasive, your fixtures and landscaping remain untouched, and you avoid the mess of exploratory digging.
How long does a typical camera inspection and drain opening service take?
For most single-family homes in Guild, the camera inspection itself takes 30–45 minutes. If the inspection identifies a blockage that can be cleared immediately, snaking or hydro-jetting usually adds another 30–60 minutes. Complex issues such as heavy root intrusion or collapsed lines can extend the appointment, but you’ll receive an on-site time estimate before any work begins.
What information will I receive after the inspection?
You’ll get a clear video recording or digital link of the entire inspection, still photos of any trouble spots, and a written report outlining pipe material, footage measurements, and recommended repairs or maintenance. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real-estate transactions, or future reference.
How much does a live-feed drain inspection and opening cost in Guild?
Prices vary with pipe length and complexity, but most residential inspections range from £120–£180, including basic drain opening if a simple blockage is found. More involved services like hydro-jetting, root removal, or sectional pipe repair are quoted separately after we review the live footage. All pricing is provided upfront with no hidden fees.
