FAQs
What is a high-definition (HD) sewer camera inspection for main lines?
An HD sewer camera inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic service in which a waterproof, high-resolution camera is fed through your home or business’s main plumbing line. The live video lets our Jellico technicians see the inside of the pipe in real time, identify blockages, breaks, root intrusions, or corrosion, and accurately map their location without digging or guesswork.
Why should I choose an HD camera inspection instead of a traditional auger or drain clearing first?
Augers and drain cleaners can temporarily open a clog, but they don’t reveal what caused it or whether the pipe has underlying damage. With an HD camera we can determine the exact problem—whether it’s grease buildup, collapsed pipe, or invading roots—so we recommend the right long-term solution, avoid unnecessary excavation, and save you money by preventing repeat blockages.
How much does an HD main line camera inspection cost in Jellico?
Prices vary with pipe length, accessibility, and whether you need a video copy for insurance, but most residential inspections in Jellico range from $225 to $325. We provide a firm quote up front, and if you approve follow-up repairs through our company we credit part or all of the inspection fee toward the repair cost.
Will the inspection damage my landscaping or plumbing fixtures?
No. The HD camera is about the size of a quarter and is inserted through an existing cleanout, toilet flange, or rooftop vent stack. Because the process is completely trench-less, your yard, driveway, and flooring remain untouched. We leave the work area as clean as we found it.
What preparation do I need to do before your team arrives?
Very little. Simply clear a path to the main cleanout or the bathroom we’ll use for access, remove fragile items from nearby shelves, and avoid running water for about an hour before the appointment so the line is relatively clear. We bring all necessary equipment and protective mats to keep your home clean.
How quickly can you perform repairs after finding an issue with the camera?
Because the HD camera pinpoints the exact location and nature of the defect, we can often perform spot repairs or trenchless pipe lining the same day, provided you approve the estimate. Our Jellico service trucks carry replacement fittings, hydro-jetters, and patching materials so we can restore flow and integrity to your main line without delay.
