FAQs
What is a fiber-optic camera inspection and how does it help with main line problems in Tellico Plains?
A fiber-optic camera inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that is fed through your home or business’s main sewer line. Real-time video is transmitted to our technician’s monitor, allowing us to see the exact interior condition of the pipe without excavation. This technology pinpoints blockages, breaks, root intrusion, and other defects quickly and accurately, so repairs can be targeted and less costly.
Which main line issues can your fiber-optic cameras detect?
Our equipment can identify a wide range of problems, including grease buildup, tree-root infiltration, offset or collapsed sections of pipe, cracks, corrosion, bellied or sagging pipe, foreign objects, and improper slope. The detailed video helps us verify the precise location and cause of the issue before recommending repair options.
Will you have to dig up my yard or driveway to complete the inspection?
In most cases, no digging is required. We access the plumbing system through an existing cleanout or by removing a toilet if a cleanout is not available. The flexible camera cable can travel 100–200 feet or more, so we can inspect the entire main line from inside the building to the city connection without disturbing landscaping, concrete, or asphalt.
How soon can I schedule a camera inspection in Tellico Plains, and how long does the service take?
We provide same-day or next-day appointments throughout Tellico Plains and surrounding Monroe County communities. A typical residential main line inspection takes 45–90 minutes from setup to cleanup, depending on pipe length and the severity of any blockage. Commercial or longer lines may require additional time.
What should I do to prepare for the inspection?
All we need is clear access to the main cleanout or the bathroom containing the toilet we will temporarily remove. Please move personal items or furnishings from the work area and avoid running water or flushing toilets during the inspection window. No other special preparation is necessary.
Do I receive a video or written report after the inspection, and what happens next if problems are found?
Yes. You receive a digital video file of the entire inspection along with a detailed written report that highlights problem areas, pipe material, depth, and location. If repairs are needed, we will discuss trenchless and traditional options, provide upfront pricing, and help you prioritize fixes based on urgency and budget. Many issues, such as blockages or minor root intrusions, can be resolved immediately after the inspection if you choose.
