FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and how does it help diagnose main line issues?
A sewer camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your home’s main sewer line. The live video feed allows our licensed technicians to see the exact condition of the pipe—identifying blockages, cracks, root intrusions, sags, or corrosion. By pinpointing the location and nature of the problem, we can recommend the most effective, least-invasive repair option for your Sevierville property.
How do I know if I need a camera inspection for my main sewer line?
Common warning signs include recurring drain clogs, multiple slow-draining fixtures, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, and unexpected wet spots in the lawn. If you notice any of these symptoms—or if your home is over 20 years old and has never had the line inspected—a camera inspection is the surest way to confirm what’s happening underground.
Will a camera inspection require digging up my yard?
No. We access your main line through an existing cleanout or by removing a toilet if no cleanout is present. The camera is inserted through this entry point, eliminating the need to excavate. If repairs are required afterward, trenchless options such as pipe lining or pipe bursting may still allow us to fix the line with minimal digging.
How long does a typical main line camera inspection take in Sevierville?
Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes, depending on the length of the line and the severity of any obstructions. You’ll receive a video recording of the inspection and a written report with our findings and recommendations before we leave your property.
What can a camera inspection detect that other methods can’t?
Unlike traditional snaking or jetting, a camera inspection shows the precise cause of trouble instead of just clearing it. The camera can reveal root intrusions, cracked or collapsed sections, offset joints, foreign objects, build-up of grease or scale, sagging (bellies) that collect waste, and even improper pipe materials. Seeing the real-time condition prevents guesswork and unnecessary repairs.
How much does a main line camera inspection cost in the Sevierville area?
For most single-family homes in Sevierville, our flat-rate pricing starts at $199, which includes the camera inspection, video recording, and a detailed diagnostic report. If you decide to have us perform the recommended repairs, we apply a portion of that fee toward the repair cost. We also offer discounted rates for routine inspections during real-estate transactions or preventive maintenance plans.
