FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and why should I consider one for my Rogersville home?
A sewer camera inspection involves feeding a waterproof, high-resolution camera on a flexible cable through your drain or sewer line. The live video lets our licensed plumbers see exactly what’s happening inside the pipe—roots, grease buildup, cracks, sagging sections, or foreign objects—without any digging. For Rogersville homeowners, this means faster diagnostics, targeted repairs, and peace of mind that we’ve identified the real cause of slow drains, backups, or foul odors.
Will the camera inspection damage my old or fragile pipes?
No. The camera head is small, smooth, and non-invasive. It simply glides through the line, pushed by a flexible fiberglass rod or pulled back by the cable. We also control water pressure carefully during the process. Whether your Rogersville property has older clay, cast-iron, or PVC pipes, the inspection will not scratch, crack, or otherwise harm them. In fact, it’s gentler than most traditional diagnostic methods.
How does your drain opening service work once you locate the blockage?
After pinpointing the clog’s exact location and nature with the camera, we choose the best clearing method. For soft clogs (hair, soap, grease), we usually use a high-speed cable machine. For tougher obstructions or tree roots, we may deploy hydro-jetting—a high-pressure water stream that scours the pipe wall 360°. Because we know precisely where the blockage begins and ends, we avoid unnecessary pipe stress and ensure a thorough clean-out.
What is the typical cost of a camera inspection and drain opening in Rogersville?
Prices vary with line length, pipe diameter, and severity of the clog, but most homeowners spend between $225 and $375 for a full camera inspection with a basic drain opening. Hydro-jetting or multiple lines may add to the total. We provide an upfront, flat-rate quote before starting any work, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
How soon can you arrive if I have an emergency sewer backup?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service throughout Rogersville and the surrounding communities. In most cases, a technician can be at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call, fully equipped with the camera gear, cable machines, and jetting rigs needed to diagnose and clear the line on the spot.
Do I receive a copy of the video or a written report after the inspection?
Yes. We provide either a digital video file or a cloud link to the footage, along with a written condition report that summarizes pipe material, problem areas, and our repair or maintenance recommendations. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, future repairs, or when selling your Rogersville property.
