FAQs
What is a camera-assisted drain opening and how does it work?
Our camera-assisted drain opening uses a high-resolution, waterproof inspection camera that we feed through your sewer or drain line. The live video shows us the pipe’s interior condition in real time, allowing our technicians to locate blockages, breaks, or root intrusions precisely. Once the obstruction is identified, we select the most suitable clearing method—such as hydro-jetting or mechanical augering—to remove the clog quickly and safely without unnecessary digging.
Why should I choose camera inspection over traditional drain clearing methods?
Traditional methods often involve guesswork and repeated snaking that may only punch a temporary hole through the clog. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause and location of the blockage, so we solve the root problem on the first visit. This approach reduces labor time, minimizes property disruption, and helps prevent future backups—saving you money and inconvenience in the long run.
What types of issues can your state-of-the-art cameras detect?
Our HD cameras can reveal a wide range of hidden problems, including grease buildup, tree-root infiltration, collapsed or offset pipes, corrosion, foreign objects, and even construction debris. We can also measure pipe diameter and depth, helping us determine whether repair, replacement, or simple cleaning is the best solution.
How long does a typical camera inspection and drain opening take in Jonesborough?
Most residential jobs are completed in 60-90 minutes. The actual inspection generally takes 15-30 minutes, and the drain clearing portion adds another 30 minutes to an hour depending on the severity of the clog. Larger or more complex commercial systems may take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate before work begins.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The camera is flexible, non-invasive, and designed to glide through drains without scraping or puncturing the pipe walls. Because we see exactly where the problem is, we avoid unnecessary digging. If excavation is ever required, it’s limited to the precise area of concern, protecting your yard, driveway, and landscaping.
