The cost of a camera inspection for your drains can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Length of the sewer line: Longer lines require more time and effort to inspect, leading to higher costs.

• Accessibility of the line: If the access point is difficult to reach or requires additional work, it might increase the price.

• Whether the inspection is standalone or part of another service: Some plumbers might offer a discount if the inspection is done along with other plumbing work.

*If the inspection reveals any issues that require repair, those costs will be separate.

The average cost for a camera inspection is $650 but when done during the same time as unclogging a drain it’s around $250.

The cost of drain cleaning can vary depending on several factors:

• Severity of the clog: Simple clogs are cheaper to clear than complex blockages deep within your plumbing system.

• Location of the clog: Clogs in easily accessible drains like sinks cost less than those in main sewer lines.

• Method of cleaning: Snaking is typically the least-expensive method, while hydro-jetting or clearing tree roots can be more costly.

• Service provider: Different plumbers or drain cleaning companies may charge varying rates.

Location: Prices can differ based on your region and local labor costs.

The cost of drain cleaning can vary depending on the extent of the issues you’re experiencing and the length of time the work will take.

Estimated costs:

• Simple clog (sink, shower, or toilet): $399-450
• Main sewer line clog: $650- 1050
• Hydro-jetting: $750-1250

During a camera inspection, a your plumber will:

1. Locate an access point to insert the camera, typically a cleanout or the end of a pipe.
2. Feed the camera into the pipe while viewing the footage on a monitor.
3. Record and analyze the video to identify any blockages, leaks, cracks, or other issues.
4. Discuss the findings with you and recommend the appropriate course of action.

During a drain cleaning, expect a plumber to assess the clog’s location and severity, then use tools like snakes, hydro-jets, or augers to break down and remove the blockage, restoring proper flow. They might also offer preventative maintenance tips to keep your drains clear in the future.

Ensure easy access to the drain or cleanout where the camera will be inserted. If possible, try to clear any standing water in the area to be inspected for better visibility.

Clear the area around the clogged drain, removing any items that may be in the way of the plumber’s work. If possible, gather any relevant information, like past plumbing issues or maintenance records.

The frequency of drain cleaning depends on several factors, such as how often you use your drains, what you put down them, and the condition of your plumbing system. However, a general guideline is to have your drains cleaned every 1-3 years.

You might need a camera inspection for your drains if you’re experiencing any of the following:

• Frequent clogs: If your drains are getting clogged repeatedly, even after using a plunger or drain cleaner, a camera inspection can help identify the underlying cause.

• Slow drainage: If water is draining slowly from multiple fixtures, it could be a sign of a blockage or damage in the main sewer line.

• Foul odors: Persistent bad smells coming from your drains could indicate a problem further down the line, like a buildup of debris or a broken pipe.

• Gurgling sounds: Gurgling noises from your drains can be a sign of air trapped due to a blockage or a venting issue.

• Sewage backup: If you experience sewage backing up into your home, it’s a clear indication of a serious problem in the sewer line that requires immediate attention.

• Unexplained wet spots in your yard: These could be caused by a leaking or damaged sewer line.

• Buying or selling a home: A camera inspection is often recommended during a home inspection to identify any potential issues with the plumbing system before buying or selling a property.

A camera inspection is a minimally invasive way to diagnose problems deep within your plumbing system. It can pinpoint the exact location and nature of the issue, allowing for more targeted and efficient repairs.

Your drains may need cleaning if you notice:

• Slow drainage: Water takes longer than usual to drain from sinks, showers, or bathtubs.

• Recurring clogs: Frequent blockages, even after using a plunger or drain cleaner.

• Foul odors: Unpleasant smells coming from drains, indicating a buildup of debris or bacteria.

• Gurgling sounds: Gurgling noises from drains when water is running or after it’s drained.

• Multiple clogged drains: If multiple drains are clogged simultaneously, it could indicate a deeper issue in the main sewer line.

Water backups: Water backing up into sinks or showers when using other fixtures.
