FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and why is it important for main-line issues in Ocoee?
A sewer camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your home’s main drain or a cleanout to visually examine the inside of the pipe. For Ocoee homeowners, this service is essential because many properties sit on shifting soil and have mature tree roots that can infiltrate lines. The live video allows plumbers to locate blockages, breaks, root intrusions, or bellies without digging, so we can recommend the most effective repair while saving you time and landscaping costs.
How can I tell if my main sewer line needs a camera inspection?
Warning signs include recurring drain clogs, multiple fixtures backing up at once, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or home, and unusually soggy patches on the lawn. If you experience any of these symptoms—or if you’re buying an older home in Ocoee—schedule a camera inspection before minor issues escalate into costly repairs or a full line replacement.
What kinds of problems can a camera inspection uncover?
The camera identifies a wide range of issues: root intrusions, pipe misalignment or collapse, corrosion, scale buildup, grease blockages, foreign objects, and low spots (bellies) where wastewater collects. It also pinpoints the exact depth and location of each defect, allowing targeted repairs such as spot lining, hydro-jetting, or selective pipe replacement instead of guessing and excavating the whole yard.
What happens during the inspection, and how long does it take?
We access your main line through an existing cleanout or by removing a toilet if necessary. After clearing any standing water, we feed the camera through the pipe while recording HD video and noting the footage counter for depth. Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes. Once complete, we review the footage with you on-site, explaining each finding and providing a digital copy for your records or real-estate negotiations.
Is camera inspection safe for older or fragile pipes?
Yes. The camera head is small, smooth, and designed to glide through cast-iron, clay, PVC, or Orangeburg pipes without causing damage. Because it’s non-invasive—no chemicals, no high pressure—it’s the best first step for diagnosing issues in aging lines common to Ocoee’s established neighborhoods.
How much does a main-line camera inspection cost in Ocoee, and can it really save me money?
Prices vary by access point and pipe length, but most residential inspections in Ocoee range from $250–$400, which includes the video report and written findings. Identifying the exact problem early prevents emergency call-outs, repeated snaking fees, or unnecessary trenching—often saving thousands in repair and landscape restoration costs. Many homeowners also use the inspection report as a bargaining tool during home purchases or warranty claims.
