FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and why is it important for main sewer lines in Tullahoma?
A plumbing camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof video camera into your home’s main sewer line. The real-time footage allows our licensed technicians in Tullahoma to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe sagging, and other hidden defects without digging up your yard. Early detection prevents emergency backups, saves money on unnecessary excavation, and helps extend the life of your sewer system.
How do I know if I need a camera inspection for my main line?
If you experience recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, foul odors from drains, or unexplained wet spots in the yard, your main line may be compromised. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact cause and location of the problem so repairs can be targeted and cost-effective. Homebuyers in Tullahoma also request inspections before closing to avoid expensive surprises.
What issues can a camera inspection identify that other methods might miss?
Traditional augers and drain cleaning only clear blockages; they can’t reveal the pipe’s internal condition. A camera inspection identifies hairline cracks, offset joints, corrosion, grease buildup, bellies (low spots), and invasive tree roots. It also measures the distance from the cleanout to the defect, allowing precise excavation or trenchless repair if needed.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The process is non-destructive. We access the main line through an existing cleanout or create a small access point, then slide the flexible camera cable through the pipe. Your landscaping, driveway, and flooring remain untouched, and there is no water contamination because the camera is completely sealed and sanitary.
How long does a main line camera inspection take, and what happens afterward?
Most residential inspections in Tullahoma take 45–60 minutes, depending on pipe length and accessibility. You’ll receive a digital video recording and a written report with findings, line depth, and location data. If issues are found, we provide repair options, including hydro-jetting, spot repair, or trenchless pipe lining, along with transparent pricing.
What is the cost of a sewer camera inspection in Tullahoma, and is it covered by insurance?
Prices vary with pipe length and accessibility, but a standard single-family home main-line inspection typically ranges from $225 to $350. While most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover routine inspections, they may cover repairs if the damage is sudden and accidental. We can supply documentation for insurance claims and offer financing plans for any necessary repairs.
