FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it work?
A plumbing camera inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof video camera attached to a flexible rod. Our technician inserts the rod through an accessible clean-out and steers it down the main sewer line. Real-time video is transmitted to a monitor at ground level, allowing us to see the pipe’s interior condition, locate any blockages, and measure the exact depth and distance of problems without excavation.
Why should I schedule a camera inspection for my main sewer line in Norris?
Norris homes and businesses often have mature trees, shifting clay soil, and older cast-iron or clay piping—all factors that can lead to root intrusion, settling, and corrosion. A camera inspection gives you a clear picture of the pipe’s health before small issues become backups or costly repairs. It is especially valuable when you are purchasing property, experiencing recurring clogs, or noticing foul odors coming from drains.
What common main line problems can a camera inspection detect?
The camera can reveal tree-root invasion, broken or collapsed pipe sections, offset joints, channeling from long-term erosion, corrosion, grease buildup, foreign objects, and even improper pipe slopes. By pinpointing these issues, we can recommend the most suitable repair—whether that’s hydro-jetting, trenchless lining, or targeted spot repairs—saving you time and money.
How much does a main line camera inspection cost in the Norris area?
For most single-family residences in Norris, our standard camera inspection costs between $175 and $250, depending on line length and ease of access. If locating services, digital recording, or multiple clean-outs are required, there may be a small additional fee. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Will a camera inspection disrupt my landscaping or require digging?
No. Camera inspections are completely non-invasive when a clean-out is already present. We simply remove the cap, insert the camera, and run the inspection—all without disturbing your lawn, driveway, or garden. In rare cases where no clean-out exists, we can create a small access point, but this is minor compared with traditional exploratory digging.
What happens after the inspection if the camera finds an issue?
You’ll receive a digital video file and a written report outlining what we saw and the exact location of any defects. Our technician will walk you through all repair options, from hydro-jetting to trenchless pipe lining or section replacement, complete with cost estimates. Because we’ve pinpointed the problem’s depth and position, repairs are faster, more precise, and less expensive than blind excavation.
