FAQs

Why should I schedule a camera inspection before upgrading my pipes in Jacksboro?

A high-resolution camera inspection provides a real-time view of the inside of your sewer or water lines, letting our technicians see exactly where cracks, bellies, root intrusions, or corrosion are located. In Jacksboro, many homes still rely on aging clay or cast-iron piping that can shift in our expansive soil and extreme temperature swings. By pinpointing problem spots first, we can recommend the most effective upgrade—whether a spot repair, a full replacement, or a trenchless liner—saving you money and unnecessary excavation.

What kinds of plumbing issues can a camera inspection detect?

The inspection can reveal a wide range of hidden problems, including root intrusion from nearby trees, pipe misalignment caused by shifting soil, corrosion or scaling on cast-iron and galvanized lines, cracks and fractures, low spots ("bellies") that collect debris, and blockages from grease or foreign objects. It can also confirm pipe material type and the overall structural health of the line, helping you decide if a partial or whole-house pipe upgrade is warranted.

How does the camera inspection process work and will it damage my property?

We access your sewer clean-out or remove a simple fixture (such as a toilet) to insert a waterproof, LED-lit camera attached to a flexible rod. As it travels through the pipe, video is streamed to a monitor and recorded for later reference. This is entirely non-invasive—no digging, no wall removal, no damage. Once finished, we restore any removed fixture, review the footage with you, and discuss upgrade options backed by the visual evidence.

How long does a typical camera inspection and pipe-upgrade consultation take in Jacksboro?

Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes, depending on the length of the line and the number of access points. Immediately afterward we perform a walkthrough of the findings and provide a same-day proposal outlining repair or upgrade options. If you choose to proceed, we can usually schedule trenchless lining or traditional repiping within 1–3 business days—often faster for urgent sewer failures.

Are trenchless pipe upgrades available after a camera inspection, and are they suited to Jacksboro soil conditions?

Yes. Post-inspection, many customers opt for cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining or pipe bursting, which require only small entry and exit pits. These methods perform well in Jacksboro’s clay-based soils and minimize disruption to yards, driveways, and landscaping. The video inspection also confirms the host pipe’s suitability for trenchless methods, ensuring a long-term, leak-free result backed by a 50-year material warranty.

What does a camera inspection and subsequent pipe upgrade cost, and do you offer financing or insurance assistance?

A standalone camera inspection in the Jacksboro area starts at $199, which we credit toward any repair or replacement we perform within 30 days. Pipe-upgrade costs vary: spot repairs begin around $450, trenchless lining averages $95–$140 per linear foot, and full replacements depend on material and access. We provide transparent, itemized quotes and offer 0%-interest financing for up to 18 months on qualifying projects. If damage is caused by sudden, accidental events (e.g., tree-root intrusion), we assist with the documentation your homeowner’s insurance may require.
