Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Algona, Iowa
If you are buying a house in Algona that was built before the 1980s, a sewer scope is the cheapest inspection you will ever pay for. A standard home inspection does not include it, and a failed line under a mature front yard is a five-figure surprise a month after closing.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Algona sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Algona homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Reliable is the main thing. Third time we have used them across two houses and it has been the same experience every time.

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Algona: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Algona?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Algona, quoted when you book. If we have to clear a blockage before the camera can pass, we tell you the added cost before doing it.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
On any Algona home built before about 1980, we would. Home inspections do not cover the buried line, and it is the single most expensive thing that can be quietly wrong with a house.
Can you tell how deep the problem is?
Yes. The camera head carries a sonde we track from the surface, so we can mark the location and depth of a defect on your lawn with paint before anyone digs.
Do I get a copy of the video?
Always. You get the footage and a written summary, which is exactly what you need for a repair quote, a seller negotiation or an insurance claim.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Algona?
Usually within the hour for Algona addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
