FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection and how does it help with drain opening?
A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your drain or sewer line. As the camera travels through the pipe, it sends live video to our technician’s monitor, allowing us to see the exact condition of the pipe interior. We can identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, grease buildup, or collapsed sections. Once we know the precise cause and location of the problem, we can choose the most effective drain-opening method—such as hydro-jetting, augering, or spot repairs—saving you time, money, and unnecessary digging.
When should I schedule a camera inspection for my drains in Turtletown?
Schedule a camera inspection if you experience frequent clogs, slow drains, gurgling toilets, foul sewer odors, or unexplained wet spots in your yard. It is also recommended before buying or selling a home, after a major storm or flood, or any time you want to verify the health of aging plumbing. Early detection helps prevent emergencies and costly repairs, especially in older Turtletown properties with clay or cast-iron sewer lines.
Can a camera inspection locate the exact cause of my recurring clogs?
Yes. The camera provides a clear, real-time view of the interior pipe walls, allowing us to pinpoint the source of recurring blockages—whether it’s tree roots, misaligned joints, grease deposits, or foreign objects. We also use an electronic locator above ground to mark the camera’s position, so we know exactly where and how deep the issue is. This precision lets us target the obstruction directly, eliminating guesswork and reducing repeat clogs.
Will my yard or flooring need to be dug up for a camera inspection?
No. Camera inspections are completely non-invasive. We access your sewer line through an existing cleanout, toilet flange, or roof vent, so there is no digging, jackhammering, or damage to your landscaping or flooring. If the inspection reveals a problem that does require excavation or a trenchless repair, we will show you the footage and discuss all available options before any work begins.
How much does a video drain inspection cost in Turtletown?
For most single-family homes in Turtletown, a standard residential camera inspection ranges from $175 to $300, depending on pipe length, accessibility, and whether you need a digital recording for real-estate documentation. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees. If you hire us for drain opening or repairs immediately after the inspection, we apply a portion of the inspection fee toward the service cost.
Are your camera inspection services available for emergency drain backups?
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Turtletown and the surrounding communities. If you have a sudden sewer backup, our technicians will arrive with a fully stocked service truck, perform an on-the-spot camera inspection, and carry out the appropriate drain-opening solution. Rapid diagnostics help us restore flow quickly and prevent further water damage to your home.
