Great communication. Text when they were on the way, a photo of what failed, and the invoice matched the quote exactly. That should be normal and somehow it isn't.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Ankeny, Iowa
If you are buying a house in Ankeny 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Ankeny 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 Ankeny homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

We run a small restaurant and the grease line backed up during service. They jetted it after we closed that night so we opened normally the next morning. That flexibility is worth a lot to us.

Our water heater quit on a Saturday with a house full of family. They came out the same afternoon, found a failed element rather than telling us we needed a new tank, and we had hot water back by dinner.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Ankeny: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Ankeny?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Ankeny, 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 Ankeny 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.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Ankeny?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
