Most plumbing companies charge, on average, $350 or more to conduct a video pipe inspection. Actual costs can depend on the length of your pipes, ability to locate the clog/issue and additional factors.
Sewer Line & Drain Cleaning
Minor issues can snowball into larger complications if not addressed.
Some signs that you should call right away include:
- Minor flooding. A small water overflow can quickly become a full-on sewage backup.
- Consistent clogs. Are you unclogging the same toilet, sink or shower drain every month? There’s a chance that the buildup is occurring somewhere much further down the plumbing system than you think. That buildup could lead to a problem you won’t be able to use your plunger for, such as a sewage backup or a burst pipe.
- Slow drains. If one or more drains in your home, office building or warehouse are slow to flow, you could have a clog in the main sewer line/and or a branch of the main line.
- Foul smells. Odors coming from your drains can indicate a major clog.
Hydro jetting is “power washing for your pipes.” It is highly effective at
- removing built up dirt, grease, hair and other debris around the inside of the pipes,
- Clearing clogs; and
- Removing tree roots.

Septic System Installation
The ground where the septic system will be installed has to be dry and undisturbed. Weather permitting, a septic system can typically be installed in 3-4 days.
Each septic system is a snowflake, they’re all different based on the demand of the home and the land that it rests on. Therefore, the price of a new septic system varies significantly.
