FAQs
What is a commercial video pipe inspection and how does it work?
A commercial video pipe inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that is inserted into your building’s sewer or drain lines. As the camera travels through the pipes, technicians view a real-time video feed on a monitor, allowing them to locate blockages, cracks, corrosion, or misaligned joints without excavation. The footage is recorded and can be saved for documentation or insurance purposes.
Why should my Loudon business invest in video pipe inspection?
Video pipe inspections quickly pinpoint the exact cause and location of plumbing issues, eliminating guesswork and unnecessary digging. For businesses, this means less downtime, accurate repair estimates, prevention of future emergencies, and compliance with local health and safety codes. Early detection also helps avoid costly repairs that could disrupt operations or damage inventory and property.
What types and sizes of pipes can you inspect?
Our equipment can navigate and inspect most commercial plumbing and sewer lines ranging from 1½ inches to 36 inches in diameter. This includes cast iron, PVC, clay, concrete, HDPE, and steel pipes commonly found in restaurants, retail centers, manufacturing plants, apartment complexes, and municipal facilities throughout Loudon.
How long does a typical video inspection take and will it disrupt my operations?
A standard inspection of a main sewer line in a commercial building usually takes 1–2 hours, but times vary based on pipe length, accessibility, and complexity. Because the process is non-invasive and no digging is required, your business can remain open and fully operational during the service. For large facilities or multiple lines, we can schedule inspections during off-hours to ensure zero disruption.
What issues can a video inspection identify that other methods might miss?
Beyond simple clogs, video inspections can detect hairline cracks, root intrusions, channeling, low spots (bellies), corrosion, scaling, pipe separation, and illegal or outdated connections. The live footage also verifies the condition of previous repairs, relining work, or new installations, giving you documented proof of your system’s integrity.
How much does a commercial video pipe inspection cost in Loudon and how do I schedule one?
Pricing depends on pipe length, diameter, accessibility, and whether you need post-inspection services like cleaning or repairs. Typical costs for small commercial properties start around $350, while larger or more complex systems can range higher. We provide free, no-obligation estimates after a brief site assessment or review of your building plans.
