What to look for
Signs You Need Sewer Camera Inspection in Hermitage
A sewer camera turns a guess into evidence. You see roots, cracks, offsets, bellies, and breaks on video, with locations marked from above ground, so any repair, clearing, or replacement is priced on what is actually in the ground, not on what might be.
- Repeat backups in the same place
- Several fixtures backing up together
- Sewer smell in the yard or basement
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Buying or selling a home with an older sewer lateral
- Before trenchless repair, repiping, or a major remodel
If you have one of these symptoms, describe it when you call (615) 436-9486. The symptom, the fixture, and whether water is still running help us prioritise your visit and tell you what to shut off while you wait. If water is flooding, shut off the main valve first – see our emergency plumbing page for the steps.
How we fix it
What Our Sewer Camera Inspection Visit Includes
Every visit follows the same pattern: find the fault, show you what we found, price the options, and only then do the work. No part is replaced on a guess.
Locating and marking
Problem spots are located from above ground and marked, so digging, if needed, happens in one place.
Plain-language report
Footage is explained in plain language: what is normal wear, what needs clearing, what needs repair, and what can wait.
Repair options with evidence
Clearing, spot repair, lining, bursting, or open replacement are quoted from the footage, with trade-offs for each.

Why This Problem Shows Up in Hermitage
Many Hermitage sewer laterals are older clay or cast-iron lines under yards with mature trees, and a camera inspection before buying, selling, or replacing a line is the cheapest insurance against digging up the wrong section. In established neighborhoods the camera usually finds one of three things: roots at a joint, a cracked or offset section, or a belly where the grade has settled. Each has a different fix and a very different price, which is why the inspection comes before the quote.
Homes across Hermitage and Davidson County vary widely in age and plumbing material, so the same symptom can have different causes in different streets. That is why diagnosis comes first: a slow drain in a newer home and a slow drain in an older home with mature trees in the yard are not the same job, and they should not get the same quote. We explain the cause we found in your home, in plain language, before recommending a repair.
| What we find | What it usually means | Our recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Roots in one joint, rest of line sound | Clear and repair the joint | Spot repair |
| Cracks and offsets along the line | Structural failure | Replace the line |
| Belly holding water, line otherwise sound | Grading problem | Compare repair options |
| Line sound, just buildup | No repair needed | Clear and maintain |
This table is a guide, not a quote. Your upfront price depends on the fault found, the parts needed, and access in your home. See our plumbing cost guide for typical estimate ranges, labelled as estimates only.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions: Sewer Camera Inspection
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most inspections take under an hour on site, including locating and explanation. Complex lines, poor access, or heavy blockage that must be cleared first can take longer, and we explain that before starting.
Will I get a copy of the video?
Yes. You see the footage with us on site, and we explain what each section shows. Ask for the recording and report for your records, especially before a home purchase or a major repair.
Does the camera damage the pipe?
No. The camera is a small, smooth unit pushed or pulled through the line. It does not cut, scrape, or pressure the pipe.
Do I need a camera inspection before buying a home?
We recommend it for homes with older laterals, mature trees, or any history of backups. A failed lateral is one of the most expensive surprises in a home purchase, and a camera check finds it before closing.
How do I book Sewer Camera Inspection in Hermitage?
Call (615) 436-9486 and describe the symptom, the fixture, and whether water is still running. We give you a time window, tell you what to shut off while you wait, diagnose the fault on site, and quote an upfront price before any work begins. Emergencies are answered 24/7.
Still unsure? Call (615) 436-9486 and describe what you are seeing. We would rather answer a question than have a small leak become a large repair.
