Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

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

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Spencer homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Main water line between the meter and the house had a leak. They located it, replaced the run, and got the yard back to reasonable. No complaints at all.

Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Spencer: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Spencer?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Spencer, 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 Spencer 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 much does a plumber cost in Spencer?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
