Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Ottumwa, Iowa
Nobody should pay to dig up a yard on somebody's guess. A camera inspection puts the actual condition of your Ottumwa sewer line on a screen - roots at a joint, a belly holding water, a crack, an offset, or a line that is simply fine and needs nothing.
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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Ottumwa streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

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

Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Ottumwa: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Ottumwa?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Ottumwa, 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 Ottumwa 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.
