FAQs
What is a plumbing inspection camera and how does it help with drain opening in Sweetwater?
A plumbing inspection camera is a high-resolution, waterproof video device attached to a flexible cable. Our technicians feed the cable through your pipes to visually locate clogs, cracks, root intrusion, or other defects. By seeing the exact cause and location of a blockage, we can choose the most effective drain-opening method—whether that’s hydro-jetting, snaking, or a targeted spot repair—saving you time, labor, and money.
What types of problems can your inspection cameras detect inside my pipes?
Our cameras can identify grease buildup, collapsed or bellied lines, intruding tree roots, corrosion, pipe misalignments, foreign objects, and even small cracks or holes that may lead to leaks. Detecting these issues early prevents unexpected backups and costly emergency repairs.
Are camera inspections safe for all pipe materials used in Sweetwater homes and businesses?
Yes. The camera heads are smooth, non-abrasive, and designed for use in PVC, cast iron, clay, copper, and even older Orangeburg piping. They will not scrape or damage the interior surface of your pipes. In fact, visual inspection is less invasive than many traditional diagnostic methods.
How much does a camera inspection and drain opening service typically cost in Sweetwater?
Pricing depends on the pipe length we need to inspect and the severity of the blockage. In general, basic residential inspections start around $175–$225, and combined inspection/drain-opening packages range from $275–$450. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
How soon can you schedule a camera inspection if I have a clogged drain right now?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service throughout Sweetwater. If you call before noon, a licensed technician can usually be onsite within 2–4 hours. For after-hours emergencies, we have an on-call crew ready to respond night or day, weekends and holidays included.
Will I receive a video recording or report after the inspection?
Absolutely. You’ll get a digital video file and a written report outlining our findings, including pipe condition, exact blockage locations, and recommended solutions. This documentation is helpful for insurance claims, real-estate transactions, or simply keeping a maintenance record for your Sweetwater property.
