FAQs
How do fiber-optic camera inspections help diagnose main sewer line issues in Huntland?
A fiber-optic camera inspection involves feeding a waterproof, lighted camera head through an access point in your plumbing. The live video stream lets our licensed technicians see the exact interior condition of your main line—location, depth, and type of pipe—without excavation. In Huntland’s older clay and cast-iron systems this is the fastest, least invasive way to pinpoint root intrusions, cracks, corrosion, bellies, and blockages so we can recommend only the repairs you actually need.
When should I schedule a fiber-optic camera inspection for my Huntland property?
Homeowners typically call us when they notice recurring clogs, slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling toilets, sewage smells, or soggy patches in the yard. If you are buying or selling a home in Huntland, a pre-purchase camera inspection is also wise because hidden sewer damage can cost thousands later. We recommend an inspection every 3–5 years for homes more than 25 years old or with large shade trees whose roots can invade the line.
What kinds of problems can the camera detect inside the main line?
The high-resolution camera reveals a wide range of issues, including tree-root penetration, separated joints, collapsed or bellied pipe sections, heavy grease buildup, scale, foreign objects, and incorrectly sloped or offset piping. Because the camera is paired with a depth-locating beacon, we can mark the exact spot—and depth—of each defect from ground level, simplifying any needed repair or replacement.
Will my yard, driveway, or flooring be damaged during a camera inspection?
No. The procedure is trenchless and non-invasive. We insert the camera through an existing clean-out or remove a toilet for temporary access when no clean-out is present. No digging, cutting concrete, or tearing up landscaping is required just to run the camera. Any access point we open is restored to its original condition before we leave.
How long does an inspection take and what do I receive afterward?
Most Huntland main-line inspections take 45–90 minutes, depending on pipe length and the number of issues we encounter. Immediately after the service, you’ll receive a digital video file or cloud link, still images of notable defects, and a written report that explains the findings, pipe material, and recommendations with itemized cost estimates. This documentation is helpful for insurance claims, home sales, or simply planning preventative maintenance.
What happens if the camera finds a blockage or structural failure?
If we discover a clog, we can often perform hydro-jetting or mechanical rodding on the same visit. For cracks, offsets, or collapses, we’ll discuss trenchless repairs such as pipe lining or pipe bursting, which minimize digging in Huntland’s rocky soil. If an open trench is unavoidable, the camera’s location data lets us excavate only the damaged section. We’ll present all options, costs, and timelines so you can make an informed decision before any repair work begins.
