FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it work?
A plumbing camera inspection involves feeding a waterproof, high-resolution video camera into your drain or sewer line. The camera is attached to a flexible push rod that allows our technician to navigate bends and turns while recording live footage. Above ground, we watch the video in real time on a monitor, pausing when we see damage or blockages. The system also has a built-in transmitter so we can pinpoint the exact depth and location of any problem from the surface.
Why would I need a camera inspection for my drains in Seymour?
Camera inspections are the fastest, least invasive way to diagnose plumbing issues. In Seymour, where older clay and concrete pipes are common, roots, cracks and ground movement frequently cause hidden damage. A camera inspection helps homeowners who experience recurring clogs, sewer odors, slow drains, or unusually high water bills. It’s also a smart move before buying or selling property, because it documents pipe condition and can prevent expensive surprises later.
What kinds of problems can a sewer camera detect?
Our HD cameras reveal virtually any defect inside a pipe, including tree-root intrusion, hairline or major cracks, collapsed or offset joints, corrosion, pipe sagging (bellying), grease buildup, foreign objects, and poor workmanship such as misaligned connections. We can also verify pipe material and diameter, measure how far the blockage is from an access point, and confirm whether your line ties into the city sewer or a septic system.
Is a camera inspection disruptive to my property?
Not at all. We access your system through an existing cleanout or a small opening we create inside the home. No walls or floors are removed, and no digging is required. The equipment is compact, quiet, and safe for all pipe types. A typical residential inspection in Seymour takes 60–90 minutes, after which your plumbing is left exactly as we found it—only now you know its true condition.
How much does a camera inspection cost in Seymour and what’s included?
Most residential inspections in the Seymour area range from $250 to $400, depending on pipe length and accessibility. The price includes the on-site assessment, live video review with the technician, a digital recording (USB or cloud link), and a written condition report with repair recommendations if needed. Locating or tracer-dye services, if required, are quoted up front so there are no hidden fees. We also offer discounted pricing when the inspection is combined with hydro-jetting or drain cleaning.
What happens after the inspection and how do I book an appointment?
Immediately after the inspection we explain our findings, show you the footage, and answer any questions. If repairs are needed—such as hydro-jetting, pipe relining, or spot repairs—we provide a detailed estimate on the spot. To schedule, call our Seymour office or use the online booking form; we offer same-day and 24/7 emergency appointments. Most bookings can be confirmed within a two-hour arrival window, and we follow up with reminders so you’re never left waiting.
