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 Washington, Iowa
Nobody should pay to dig up a yard on somebody's guess. A camera inspection puts the actual condition of your Washington 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Washington 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.

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.

Called on Christmas Eve about a frozen pipe. Fully expected a holiday surcharge and there wasn't one. Same price as any other day, which I did not expect and have not forgotten.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Washington: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Washington?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Washington, 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 Washington 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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
