FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it benefit my Sevierville business?
A plumbing camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable directly into your drain or sewer line. Real-time video allows our licensed commercial plumbers to see the exact condition of your piping—identifying blockages, cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, or misaligned joints without excavation. For Sevierville businesses, the process prevents unnecessary downtime, pinpoints issues quickly, and supplies visual proof for insurance claims, permitting, or budgeting decisions.
When should I schedule a sewer camera inspection for my commercial property?
We recommend an inspection any time you experience recurring clogs, slow drainage, foul odors, unexplained wet spots, or after major construction on or near your property. Proactively, most Sevierville businesses schedule camera inspections every 18–24 months as part of preventive maintenance. Restaurants, hotels, and manufacturing facilities with high wastewater output should consider annual checks to avoid costly, business-halting emergencies.
Will a camera inspection disrupt normal operations at my facility?
Very little. Our cameras require only a single access point—usually a clean-out, floor drain, or manhole. The inspection team sets up quickly, and the entire process for an average commercial line takes 30–90 minutes. There is no digging, floor removal, or water shut-off needed in most cases, so your staff and customers can continue using restrooms and sinks while we work.
What plumbing problems can your camera detect that traditional methods might miss?
Video inspection reveals hidden defects such as hairline cracks, pipe belly (sagging), offset joints, grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed sections, and tree-root intrusion. It also lets us verify pipe material and diameter, locate lost jewelry or tools, and map the exact path of undocumented drain lines—information that traditional augering or dye tests cannot provide with the same precision.
How much does a commercial plumbing camera inspection cost in Sevierville?
Pricing depends on line length, pipe diameter, building accessibility, and whether multiple lines need evaluation. Most small–to-medium commercial inspections range from $275 to $550 per line, including digital footage and a written report. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes, and volume discounts are available for property managers who need several buildings inspected at once.
What kind of report will I receive after the inspection?
Within 24 hours, you receive a USB drive or secure cloud link containing the full HD video, time-stamped snapshots of problem areas, a line-by-line condition summary, and repair or maintenance recommendations prioritized by urgency. This documentation satisfies most municipal code requirements, helps compare contractor bids, and serves as a valuable asset record for future resale or insurance purposes.
