Video Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Answers

We start by locating your main sewer cleanout – usually found near your home’s foundation or by the street. Our high-resolution camera goes into the line on a flexible cable, transmitting live video as it travels through your pipes.

You watch the inspection happen in real-time on our monitor. We explain what you’re seeing as we go – whether it’s normal wear, minor buildup, or something that needs attention. The camera records everything, so you get a copy of the footage.

The whole process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on your line’s length and what we find. No digging, no damage to your property, and no guessing about what’s really going on down there. You leave with clear documentation and honest recommendations about next steps.

What Your Inspection Includes

Your sewer camera inspection covers the main line from your home to the street connection, plus any accessible branch lines. We document pipe condition, joint integrity, root intrusion, blockages, and structural issues like cracks or collapsed sections.

You receive a detailed report with video footage, problem locations marked by distance from the cleanout, and our professional assessment of what needs immediate attention versus what can be monitored. We also note any code compliance issues if you’re buying or selling property.

Common issues we find in Thomasville include root intrusion from mature trees, pipe separation at joints due to soil movement, and grease buildup in kitchen lines. Our inspection helps you understand not just what’s wrong, but why it happened and how to prevent future problems.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Thomasville?

Sewer camera inspection typically costs between $200-400 depending on your line’s length and accessibility. This upfront investment often saves hundreds or thousands by identifying exact problem locations before any digging starts. We provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers find the inspection pays for itself by avoiding unnecessary excavation and targeting repairs to only the areas that actually need attention.

How long does a video sewer inspection take?

Most sewer line inspections take 30-60 minutes from start to finish. The actual camera work usually takes 15-30 minutes, with additional time for setup and explaining what we find. Longer or more complex sewer systems may take up to 90 minutes. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we schedule your appointment. The inspection happens in real-time, so you can watch the process and ask questions as we go through your pipes.

What problems can sewer camera inspection find?

Video inspection reveals root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, joint separation, grease buildup, foreign objects, and structural damage. We can also identify code violations, improper connections, and areas where pipes have shifted due to soil movement. The camera shows pipe material condition, measures blockage severity, and locates exact problem spots by distance from the cleanout. This detailed information helps determine whether you need simple cleaning, targeted repairs, or more extensive work.

Do you need to dig up my yard for the inspection?

No digging required for the inspection itself. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts – usually located near your foundation or by the street. The flexible camera cable travels through your pipes without any excavation. However, if we can’t locate a cleanout or it’s not accessible, we may need to expose it, but this is rare. The whole point of camera inspection is to see what’s wrong before any digging happens, saving you money and protecting your landscaping.

When should I get my sewer line inspected?

Get an inspection if you’re experiencing recurring drain clogs, gurgling sounds, slow drainage, or sewage odors. It’s also smart before buying a home, especially if it’s over 20 years old. Many Thomasville homes have mature trees whose roots commonly invade sewer lines. Annual inspections make sense for older properties or if you’ve had previous sewer problems. Don’t wait for a backup – prevention costs much less than emergency repairs and cleanup.

Will I get a copy of the inspection video?

Yes, you receive a copy of the complete inspection video along with a written report identifying any issues we find. The video includes timestamps and distance markers showing exactly where problems are located in your line. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or getting quotes from other contractors. We explain everything we find during the inspection, but having the video lets you review it later or share it with family members who weren’t present during the service call.
