Do you need a camera?
Signs It's Time to Look Inside
One slow sink rarely needs a camera, but it's worth it when:
- The main line backed up more than once
- Buying a home, especially an older one
- You want to see a repair you were quoted
Our faith, our standard
Straight Answers, No Upsell
We believe honest work honors God. Here is what that looks like.
One Clog Doesn't Need a Camera
Drains fine after one backup? Save your money. We suggest a camera for repeat backups or big repairs.
We Show You, Not Just Tell You
You see the same picture we see. If we recommend a repair, you've seen why on screen.
Plumbing for a Greater Purpose
A portion of every job goes to a local ministry.
What to expect during an inspection
Before We Arrive
We find the cleanout; a fully clogged line may need clearing first.
During the Visit
You watch as the camera goes in; please skip water use for about an hour.
When We Leave
We mark any problem spot and depth, and you keep the recording.
How a camera inspection works
A Look Inside Without Digging
A waterproof camera travels the pipe; a locator shows where and roughly how deep.
- Shows roots, cracks, sags, offset joints
- Pinpoints the spot, keeps digs small
- Skip repairs you don't need
What a camera can't do
- It finds the problem but doesn't fix it
- A packed line may need clearing first
Camera Inspection vs Digging to Look
| Camera | Digging | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Less | Much more |
| Yard damage | None | A trench |
| Time | About an hour | A day or more |
| Shows | The whole line | One spot |
| Touch the pipe | No | Yes |
Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?
Most inspections run $195 to $450. If the line needs clearing first, we price that up front too.
Should I get one before buying a house?
Yes, especially for an older home or big trees. A standard home inspection usually skips the sewer line.
Do I need a cleanout?
It helps a lot, but we can sometimes go in through a toilet. We'll tell you the best access point when we see the house.
Can the camera tell how deep the pipe is?
Roughly, yes. A locator above ground picks up the camera head, so we can mark the spot and depth.
What happens if you find a problem?
We show you, explain your options and give you a written price. You decide, with no pressure to fix it that day.
