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 Urbandale, Iowa
If you are buying a house in Urbandale 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.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Polk County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Urbandale tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

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.

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.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Urbandale: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Urbandale?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Urbandale, 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 Urbandale 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 have a plumber available in Urbandale right now?
Almost always. Our Urbandale line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
