Sewer Camera Inspection in Boiling Springs, SC
Good service is worth sharing.
One has to wonder what is going on in a pipe four feet down in the yard. Not long ago, you would have had to put in some shoveling to get an answer. These days, a plumber can put a sewer camera to work and see inside the line in real time. For the homeowner in Boiling Springs with mature landscaping and room to spare, that ability to put a finger on a sewer line problem without making a mess of the lawn is a game changer. Pro-Flo Plumbing offers professional sewer camera inspection for homes, buying decisions and stubborn drain problems.
How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works
We use a waterproof camera on a flexible cable, run in through a cleanout or a removed toilet, and its bright lights put a live feed on our monitor.
- A locator tells us precisely where we are under the ground while our technician makes his way along the line, taking note of depth, direction and trouble spots.
- You are welcome to stand by, watch the video and put any questions to us.
- It is over in an hour most of the time.
What the Camera Can Reveal
- Tree root intrusion: fine roots entering through joints or cracks.
- Cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections in clay, cast iron, or plastic pipe.
- Offset or separated joints where pipe sections have shifted.
- Belly or low spots where water and waste collect.
- Grease, scale, and buildup that keeps narrowing the line.
- Foreign objects, from toys to wipes, causing repeated clogs.
- Incorrect connections or missing cleanouts.
When You Should Schedule an Inspection
There is no better way to get to the bottom of things when you have a clog that will not quit, an odor in the house, or drains running slow. We also find it invaluable for prospective buyers of an older property, since a bill for sewer line work is one of those costly surprises of homeownership you want to avoid. An inspection before a remodel or after a hydro jetting will tell you if the line is clear. Those on septic should have the line to the tank looked at to head off trouble.
Local Sewer Systems and Requirements
What comes next depends on whether your setup is a public main or a septic tank. In the sewered parts of town, the utility is on the case for the main and sanitary sewer overflows, but the lateral from your house is on you. Out in the country, the state environmental agency has a say in septic systems and the condition of the lines for the sake of the groundwater. Some of the Upstate’s older homes still have their original clay or cast iron, and with the pressure from old trees, they may be past their prime. Any work we do will be to code, and we will take care of the permits.
What Happens After the Inspection
When we are done, we will give you a straight talk on what we found, with notes and video to back it up. A good report means peace of mind, or some leverage in a home purchase. Should there be need for repair, we will lay out an honest estimate for everything from a cleaning or spot fix to a full sewer line replacement. There is no pressure to let us make the repairs, although many find it convenient to have the technician who found the problem put it right.
