FAQs
What is a video camera inspection and how does it help with drain opening?
A video camera inspection involves sending a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod through your plumbing lines. The live feed lets our licensed technicians see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes—whether it’s grease buildup, root intrusion, a broken section, or a foreign object. By pinpointing the blockage’s exact location and cause, we can choose the most effective drain-opening method and avoid unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Why should I choose a video inspection before any drain cleaning in New Tazewell?
Because New Tazewell’s mix of older clay and newer PVC sewer lines can develop very different problems, guessing can be costly. A video inspection gives you hard evidence of the issue, which means: 1) faster repairs, 2) reduced labor costs from unnecessary pipe removal, and 3) peace of mind that the problem was fixed correctly the first time. Many homeowners also keep the footage for insurance or home-sale disclosures.
What types of problems can your cameras detect in my sewer or drain lines?
Our state-of-the-art cameras can identify hairline cracks, collapsed or offset joints, invading tree roots, corrosion, grease buildup, pipe sagging (bellies), and even lost jewelry or children’s toys. The camera’s built-in locator also sends a surface signal, so we can mark the exact depth and position of any problem from above ground.
How much does a plumbing video inspection cost in the New Tazewell area?
For most residential lines up to 100 feet, our standard video inspection starts at $199, which includes the on-site visit, electronic video file, and a written condition report. If the inspection reveals a clog that we can clear immediately with mechanical or hydro-jet equipment, we apply a $50 credit toward that service. Prices for longer commercial lines or locating services vary; call us for an exact quote.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The process is completely non-invasive. The flexible cable and smooth camera head glide through the pipe without scraping or scratching. Because we know the blockage’s precise location, we rarely need to excavate; if digging is required, we make only a small targeted access point, preserving your yard, driveway, or landscaping.
