FAQs
What are the signs I might need a high-definition sewer camera inspection for my main line in Old Fort?
Frequent backups, slow-draining fixtures on the lowest floor, gurgling toilets, foul odors near drains, damp or sunken spots in the yard, and an unexplained spike in water bills all indicate a possible main line problem. An HD camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause without guesswork, allowing repairs to be targeted and cost-effective.
How does a high-definition sewer camera work, and why is HD quality important?
A waterproof camera head with powerful LED lights is pushed through the main sewer line on a flexible rod or self-propelled crawler. HD sensors capture crystal-clear video, which streams to a monitor in real time. The high resolution lets technicians see hairline cracks, slight pipe offsets, and early root intrusion that standard-definition cameras can miss, leading to more accurate diagnoses and fewer repeat visits.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes, landscaping, or driveway?
No. The procedure is non-invasive. We access the line through an existing cleanout or a small removal of a toilet if no cleanout is available. The camera is roughly the diameter of a quarter, glides through the pipe, and requires no digging. Your yard, driveway, and interior finishes remain untouched, and the inspection usually takes under an hour.
What kinds of main line issues can an HD sewer camera detect?
HD imaging reveals root intrusion, collapsed or cracked pipes, holes caused by corrosion, channeling from long-term erosion, misaligned joints, bellies (sags) that trap waste, grease buildup, foreign objects, and even construction debris left during a remodel. By locating the exact depth and position of each defect, the tech can recommend spot repairs, sectional replacements, or trenchless rehabilitation instead of full pipe excavation.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Old Fort, and what factors affect the price?
In Old Fort, a stand-alone HD camera inspection typically ranges from $250 to $400. The price can vary based on pipe length, ease of access, whether a cleanout must be installed, and if additional services (hydro-jetting, locating, or a written real-estate report) are requested. We provide upfront quotes, and the fee is often credited toward repair work if we perform the fix.
What happens after the inspection—do I get a recording and repair recommendations?
Yes. You receive a USB or cloud link with the full HD video, still images of problem areas, and a written summary. We review the footage with you on-site, explain each finding in plain language, and outline repair or maintenance options ranked by urgency and cost. This documentation is useful for insurance claims, home sales, or simply keeping a maintenance record of your property.
