FAQs
What is a camera inspection and why is it important before pipe upgrades?
A camera inspection is a non-invasive method in which a high-resolution waterproof camera is fed through your plumbing lines to record live video of the pipe’s interior. It allows our Huntland technicians to pinpoint blockages, corrosion, root intrusion, misaligned joints, and other hidden defects without digging or dismantling walls. By seeing the true condition of your pipes first, we can recommend only the upgrades you actually need, prevent unnecessary excavation, and accurately estimate time and cost.
How does the camera inspection process work in Huntland homes?
1. We locate the best clean-out or access point and insert a flexible fiber-optic cable with an LED-lit camera head. 2. As the camera moves through the line, live footage appears on our monitor and is recorded for later review. 3. We measure distance with an on-screen footage counter and mark exact problem spots with surface locators. 4. Once inspection is complete, we provide you with a digital copy of the video, a written condition report, and upgrade/repair recommendations tailored to your property and local Huntland plumbing codes.
What kinds of pipe problems can be identified with video inspection?
• Cracks, fractures, and collapsed sections • Root intrusion and heavy scale build-up • Bellied (sagging) pipes that collect debris • Offset or separated joints • Corrosion and tuberculation in metal pipes • Grease, sludge, or foreign object blockages • Incorrect pitch or improper installations Detecting these issues early helps prevent backups, water damage, and costly emergency repairs.
When should I consider upgrading my plumbing pipes?
• Your home has galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes installed before the mid-1990s • Frequent leaks, low water pressure, or discolored/rusty water occur • You’re planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel and want to future-proof the plumbing • The camera inspection shows significant corrosion, root damage, or insufficient pipe diameter for current demand • You notice damp spots, mold, or sudden spikes in water bills Upgrading at the first signs of failure avoids unexpected flooding and raises property value.
What pipe upgrade options do you offer and what are their benefits?
• PEX repiping – flexible, freeze-resistant, fewer joints, quick installation • Copper repiping – long lifespan, high heat tolerance, biocidal properties, recyclable • CPVC/PVC – cost-effective, corrosion-proof for drain and vent lines • Trenchless pipe bursting or pipe lining – replaces or rehabilitates buried sewer laterals with minimal yard disruption Our team helps you compare materials based on budget, water quality, and Huntland code requirements to choose the best solution.
How much does a camera inspection or pipe upgrade cost in Huntland?
A standard residential camera inspection typically ranges from $175 to $350, depending on line length and access points. Full-house repiping can vary from $3,000 for small PEX jobs to $10,000+ for extensive copper systems, while trenchless sewer replacement generally falls between $80 and $150 per linear foot.
