FAQs
What is a video camera inspection of my main sewer line, and why would I need one?
A video camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your home or business’s main sewer pipe. The live footage lets our licensed Rockwood technicians see exactly what is happening inside the line—blockages, cracks, tree-root intrusion, corrosion, and other defects—without any excavation. Homeowners request inspections when they experience repeated backups, slow drains, foul odors, or before purchasing property to confirm the condition of the underground piping.
Which main line problems can your inspection cameras identify?
Our equipment can spot almost every common sewer defect, including grease and sludge build-ups, offsets at pipe joints, collapsed or bellied sections, cracked clay or cast-iron pipe, tree-root penetration, foreign objects, and signs of corrosion. The cameras also measure the exact distance from the access point to each problem so repair crews know precisely where to dig or where to insert a trenchless liner.
How long does a typical camera inspection take at a Rockwood property?
Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes from setup to clean-up. Larger commercial lines or situations where multiple access points are needed can take up to two hours. You receive a narrated video file and written condition report on-site or the same day, so you can make informed repair decisions immediately.
Will the inspection require digging up my yard or driveway?
No. We perform the inspection through existing clean-outs, roof vents, or toilet flanges. Because the camera travels inside the pipe, there is no need to excavate just to diagnose the problem. If repairs are necessary afterward, we can discuss trenchless options to minimize surface disruption.
How much does a main line video inspection cost in the Rockwood area?
For single-family homes in Rockwood, prices start at $189, which includes line locating and a digital recording. Larger properties or lines over 150 feet may cost slightly more. We offer discounted rates when the inspection is bundled with drain cleaning or trenchless repair services, and all pricing is quoted upfront—no surprises.
What happens after you identify a problem in my main sewer line?
You receive a clear, itemized report detailing every issue, the exact pipe location, depth, and recommended solutions—such as hydro-jetting, spot repair, pipe bursting, or CIPP lining. Our team can provide same-day estimates and schedule the repair at your convenience. Because the camera footage documents the defect, many Rockwood homeowners successfully use it to support insurance claims or real-estate negotiations.
