Backups that keep coming back, water rising in the basement floor drain, slow drains all over the house — it's usually roots, a cracked clay joint, or a sagging line you can't see. For $89 we run a camera down and show you the problem on the screen.
A sewer rodding clears a clog for a while. It doesn't tell you why it keeps coming back. A camera does.
You've rodded the same line twice this year and it's already draining slow again.
Run the washer or a shower and the basement floor drain backs up.
You just bought an older bungalow and want to know what's under the parkway before you finish the basement.
A licensed tech runs a camera the full length of your sewer line and finds the actual problem. You watch on the screen with them, so you see exactly what's going on down there.
Most of what the camera finds doesn't mean digging up your yard. Roots clear with rodding or jetting, heavy scale gets milled out, and a damaged section can often be relined from the inside — no trench. You see the choices and the price up front, and nothing happens without your say-so.
The tech runs the camera, locates the trouble, and identifies exactly what's wrong.
Good, better, best — jet it now, a targeted repair, or a trenchless liner instead of digging up the line — each with timing and price.
You approve the option and financing you want. Larger jobs may take a deposit to hold the crew.
Permits pulled if needed, crew booked, and timely communication about repair.
Bungalows and two-flats built before 1980 run on clay tile and cast iron. Clay joints crack or separate and let tree roots in. Cast iron scale buildup restricts pipe flow. Old lines settle into a belly that holds water and catches everything that goes down. A camera is the only way to know whether you need a hydro jetting or a section of pipe replaced — before you spend a dime on the wrong fix.
A licensed tech runs a camera the length of your sewer line, finds the exact problem, and walks you through your options. You see it on the screen yourself — no guesswork, no upsell to a problem you can't verify.
No. The $89 covers the inspection itself — a camera down the line and a straight read on what's going on. If it needs work, you'll get honest options and you decide where to go from there, on your own timeline. The look is yours either way..
Often, yes — call early enough and we can usually get a plumber to you the same day for the inspection. If what we find needs permits, parts, or a scheduled crew, we'll set that up with you. The look itself doesn't wait.
Yes, just ask and we'll record it for an extra fee. It's especially handy if you just bought the home, you're working through a warranty, or you want it on file with a seller.
You'll get good/better/best options with real pricing and timing before anything happens. Nothing gets done until you pick the option that fits your budget and approve it.
Every day. Roots in clay joints, scaled cast iron, bellied and collapsed lines — from a simple jetting to a trenchless liner or a dig, we handle the full range across Chicago and the western suburbs.
