Advanced Video Inspections for Drains & Pipes
Our Charleston team employs a skilled technician who navigates a specialized, miniature video camera through your drain or sewer pipe. The camera captures footage as it travels through the pipes, displaying it on a monitor, providing an inside view of the drainage system's condition. The inspection is then digitally recorded. Our cameras are capable of examining pipes with diameters ranging from 2 to 36 inches, allowing us to identify problem areas and suggest the most economical solution for you. Our high-resolution cameras can detect issues such as grease buildup, tree root damage, leaks, broken pipes, and obstructions.
Using our cutting-edge inspection tools and techniques, we can:
- Pinpoint defects responsible for raw sewage backups
- Eliminate the need for guesswork in underground drainage
- Prevent incorrect diagnoses of drainage issues
- Record the condition of pipes accurately
- Ensure appropriate drain services are provided
- By utilizing our inspection technology, we can obtain a comprehensive understanding of your drain and sewer lines.
Charleston Sewer Odor Detection & Resolution
If you're experiencing a sewer odor or the presence of sewer flies, it may indicate a significant issue with your underground drainage system. Many technicians struggle to locate the source of the odor leak in your sewer line. Fortunately, we specialize in underground drain inspections and have equipment specifically designed to detect sewer odor leaks. We conduct a sewer odor test using safe, artificially-created smoke that we send through your lines. By observing the smoke's exit points, we can pinpoint the location of the leak and address the issue promptly.

- Persistent slow drains or backups.
- Unpleasant odors coming from your drains.

Jetting from the roof vent involves sending high-pressure water through your drain lines starting from the roof vent, which clears out blockages from the top of the pipes. This technique can reach clogs that are deep within the system, particularly for stubborn, hard-to-reach blockages.
-
Hydrojetting is a technique where high-pressure water is used to clean drains. It’s especially effective for removing grease, debris, and tree roots. This method is ideal for tougher clogs that can't be easily cleared with standard tools.

- Hydrojetting machines for powerful, high-pressure water cleaning.
- Sewer cameras to inspect and locate blockages deep within your pipes.
