FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how can it help my White Pine home?
A plumbing camera inspection involves sending a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable through your drain or sewer line. Our technicians view real-time video to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion without excavation. This non-invasive method pinpoints the exact issue, saving White Pine homeowners time and money on guesswork and unnecessary digging.
When should I schedule a camera inspection for my drains?
Schedule a camera inspection if you notice recurring clogs, slow drains, foul odors, gurgling sounds, unexplained wet spots in the yard, or if you’re buying or selling property in White Pine. It’s also recommended after a major clog has been cleared to verify the pipe’s condition and ensure no debris remains that could cause future issues.
How accurate is a camera inspection in locating drain problems?
Our modern cameras feature HD video, LED lighting, self-leveling technology, and distance tracking. They can identify issues within an accuracy of a few inches, allowing us to mark the precise spot on the surface. This accuracy means targeted repairs, minimal disruption to landscaping, and lower overall repair costs for White Pine residents.
Will the camera inspection damage my pipes?
No. The inspection equipment is designed to be gentle on all pipe materials, including PVC, cast iron, clay, and older Orangeburg lines. The camera head is smooth and the push rod is flexible, so it navigates curves and joints without scratching or stressing the pipe walls.
How long does a typical drain camera inspection take?
Most residential inspections in White Pine take 60–90 minutes, depending on the length and complexity of your plumbing system. This includes the setup, live inspection, recording, and a post-inspection review with you where we explain findings and recommend next steps.
What happens after the inspection if a problem is found?
You receive a detailed video file, still images, and a written report outlining any defects. Our team will review repair or drain-opening options—such as hydro-jetting, root cutting, spot repairs, or trenchless pipe lining—and provide upfront pricing. Because we know the exact location and nature of the problem, we can perform targeted, cost-effective repairs with minimal disruption to your White Pine property.
