FAQs
What is a sewer line camera inspection and why is it beneficial?
A sewer line camera inspection involves feeding a waterproof, high-resolution video camera through your drain and sewer lines. The real-time footage lets our licensed plumbers see the exact condition of the pipe interior, locate blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and corrosion without digging or guesswork. For Lookout Mountain homeowners, this means quicker diagnoses, targeted repairs, and the confidence that only the affected section of pipe will be serviced—saving both time and money.
How does your camera inspection gear help in opening clogged drains?
The live video feed shows us the precise location, type, and severity of the obstruction—whether it’s grease, scale buildup, foreign objects, or invasive roots. Once identified, we choose the most effective clearing method (hydro-jetting, mechanical augering, or root cutting) and apply it exactly where it’s needed. This targeted approach eliminates repeat clogs, prevents unnecessary pipe damage, and restores full flow in a single service visit.
Is camera inspection gear safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. Our inspection cameras are designed with smooth, flexible push rods and rounded heads that glide through cast-iron, clay, and even brittle Orangeburg pipes without scraping or exerting excessive pressure. We adjust camera size and insertion technique to suit each pipe’s diameter and condition, ensuring a non-destructive assessment that keeps aging plumbing systems intact.
How quickly can you reach properties in Lookout Mountain for an inspection?
Because we’re headquartered less than 20 minutes from most Lookout Mountain neighborhoods, our technicians can typically arrive the same day you call—often within a two-hour window for urgent backups. We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch, GPS-tracked service vans, and fully stocked equipment so we can diagnose and clear your drains on the first visit.
What should homeowners do to prepare for a camera inspection service?
Preparation is simple: 1) Clear any stored items around the main clean-out or access points to give our technician room to work. 2) Avoid using water fixtures (sinks, toilets, showers) for about an hour before we arrive so the lines are as empty as possible, improving camera clarity. 3) Have any previous plumbing records handy; they help us compare past and present pipe conditions. That’s it—our team brings all the necessary gear and protective coverings to keep your home tidy.
How much does a camera inspection with drain opening cost and does it actually save money?
In Lookout Mountain, our standard residential package—camera inspection plus basic mechanical drain opening—starts at $219, with upfront flat-rate pricing provided before we begin. If major root cutting or hydro-jetting is required, we’ll quote that on site. By pinpointing the problem immediately, camera inspections prevent exploratory digging and repeated service calls, often saving homeowners hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs and property restoration.
