FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection for a main sewer line?
A plumbing camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod into your home’s main sewer line. As the camera travels through the pipe, it transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our Jonesborough technicians to pinpoint clogs, breaks, root intrusions, bellies, and other defects without digging up your yard.
When should I schedule a camera inspection for my main line in Jonesborough?
You should consider a camera inspection if you experience frequent backups, slow drains throughout the house, foul sewer odors, soggy areas in the yard, or if you’re buying an older property in Jonesborough. Annual inspections are also recommended for homes with mature trees whose roots may invade the line.
What problems can a camera inspection detect that other methods might miss?
Video inspections reveal hidden issues such as hairline cracks, offset joints, collapsed sections, pipe corrosion, grease buildup, and tree-root penetration. Traditional snaking or chemical treatments only address blockages; they can’t show you the pipe’s structural condition or the exact cause of recurring issues.
Will the inspection damage my plumbing or landscaping?
No. The camera is small, self-contained, and introduced through an existing cleanout or a temporary access point inside your home. Because we don’t excavate, there’s zero disturbance to your landscaping, driveway, or flooring, making it a non-invasive, mess-free diagnostic tool.
How long does a main line camera inspection take and what happens afterward?
Most inspections in Jonesborough take 45–90 minutes, depending on pipe length and accessibility. Afterward, our technician reviews the footage with you, explains any problems found, and provides a digital recording plus a written report. If repairs are needed, we’ll outline options such as hydro-jetting, pipe lining, or targeted excavation.
How much does a camera inspection cost in the Jonesborough area?
Prices vary with pipe length and accessibility, but most residential main line inspections range from $250 to $350. This fee often pays for itself by preventing unnecessary digging and precisely locating issues.
