FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and how does it help diagnose main line problems?
A sewer camera inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic service in which a high-resolution, waterproof camera is fed through the clean-out or another accessible opening in your main sewer line. As the camera moves through the pipe, it transmits live video to a monitor that our licensed plumber reviews in real time. This footage lets us pinpoint the exact location and nature of issues—such as root intrusion, cracks, offsets, bellies, corrosion, or grease buildup—without digging up your yard. We record the video and mark depth and distance, so any repair or cleaning that follows is faster, more accurate, and less expensive.
What signs tell me I should schedule a camera inspection for my Jacksboro property?
Typical red flags include frequent drain backups, gurgling toilets, unexplained foul odors, slow drains throughout the house, soggy patches or sinkholes in the yard, and a sudden spike in water or sewer bills. If your home is 30+ years old and hasn’t had the main line inspected recently, or you’re buying a new property and want peace of mind, a camera inspection is strongly recommended. Catching problems early prevents emergency repairs and extensive property damage.
Will a camera inspection damage my yard, driveway, or plumbing?
No. The entire process is trenchless and designed to be gentle on your plumbing system. We access the pipe through an existing clean-out or remove a toilet (and reinstall it with a new wax ring) if no clean-out is available. Because the camera is only about the size of your thumb and is pushed forward with flexible rods, it will not scratch or stress the pipe. No digging, cutting, or demolition is required, so your landscaping, driveway, and slab remain untouched.
How much does a main line camera inspection cost in Jacksboro, and what is included?
Most residential camera inspections in the Jacksboro area range from $250 to $400. The exact price depends on the length of the sewer line, ease of access, and whether additional locators are needed to mark depth and location. Our quoted fee includes the on-site visit, a thorough video inspection of the entire main line, real-time commentary from a licensed plumber, electronic delivery of the recorded footage, and a written report with repair or maintenance recommendations. If you choose us to perform any necessary repairs, we credit a portion of the inspection fee toward that work.
What happens if the inspection reveals a blockage, break, or other defect?
You’ll see the issue on the monitor along with us, and we’ll explain its severity and location. Minor root intrusions or soft blockages can often be cleared the same day with hydro-jetting or augering. For cracks, offsets, or collapsed sections, we provide repair options such as spot excavation, pipe bursting, or trenchless pipe lining. Because the camera shows the exact depth and distance, we only dig where necessary, saving time and minimizing disruption. We give you a detailed, written estimate before any remedial work begins.
How quickly can you schedule a camera inspection, and how long does it take?
We offer same-day or next-day appointments throughout the Jacksboro area for most residential customers. The inspection itself typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on pipe length, the number of bends, and whether blockages slow camera progress. You’ll receive verbal findings on the spot, the video file within a few hours, and the written report within 24 hours, so you can make informed decisions without delay.
