When you’re having trouble with your sewage lines, the problem isn’t always obvious. The problem could be a clog that can be easily removed with a snake, or it could be a cracked pipe leaking wastewater into your home’s foundation. Instead of guessing and spending the time and effort to troubleshoot, many plumbers perform sewer camera inspections.
The video shows what’s causing the issue and where the issue is located. This helps homeowners save money because of the reduced labor hours involved in the repair.
The knowledgeable technicians here at Rudd Plumbing Heating and Air regularly use camera inspections to solve plumbing issues for our clients throughout Charleston, SC.
Comprehensive Camera Inspections in Charleston
During plumbing camera inspections, a small camera with a flexible cord gets inserted into a drainage system, usually at a cleanout. While the video feed is rarely super high definition, it’s more than sufficient to identify issues such as tree roots blocking drains or collapsed sewage lines.
Before sewer camera inspections, plumbers often performed unnecessary demolition to identify the cause of a drainage issue. They may have dug unsightly trenches into a landscaped yard or had to jackhammer through a tiled floor just to confirm a hunch.
Plumbing camera inspections offer several benefits, including:
Prevent unnecessary demolition and cleanup
Get documentation for insurance claims
Locate hidden leaks
Assurance before buying a home
Using camera inspections to identify drainage issues saves time and money. While sewer camera inspections aren’t free, they’re a lot more affordable than paying a plumber to troubleshoot every possible cause of a drainage issue.
Since many homeowner’s policies exclude coverage for repairs to plumbing, a camera inspection can be critical if there’s ever doubt about a covered cause of loss. If drainage pipes do get damaged by a covered cause of loss, but it happened before your policy began, insurance won’t cover it. That’s why it’s especially important for new homebuyers to perform thorough inspections of a home’s plumbing before finalizing the paperwork.
Charleston’s Trusted Camera Inspection Company
Plumbing camera inspections offer a non-invasive way to identify issues with drainage lines in your home. They prevent unnecessary mess and give peace of mind to new homebuyers. If you ever file an insurance claim for plumbing damage, sewage camera inspections provide objective proof of the cause of loss.
Plumbers who don’t use camera inspections often end up damaging lawns by digging trenches to find the underlying cause.
At Rudd Plumbing Heating and Air, we provide affordable and thorough camera inspections for homeowners throughout the Charleston area. Don’t let your plumbing issues get any worse. Contact us today!

The Rudd team led by Kenny and Adrian and the rest of the Rudd team (I'm sorry but I don't know their names) did a superb and professional job. My wife and I are delighted with the new HVAC system. We strongly recommend Rudd to anyone needing a great HVAC system.Patrick Smith
Jeremy was on time, professional, and tried to fix the problem without replacing whole unit. He explained everything completely. Even looked at.my other toilet as well. I would highly recommend Rudd plumbing for any issues.
Adam Flaherty was very professional, explained everything in a way I could understand, pointed out potential problems that he saw, was able to get our water line un-clogged very quickly. Definitely recommend them for whatever service you need.
Great company, highly recommend. Prompt, professional. We bought an in-line water heater and installation. Everything was perfect, on time, friendly and professional staff, both for estimate and install. Will call again.
Prompt and courteous, wore his booties to protect my floor, found three sensors upstairs that aren’t working and is ordering parts. He assured ne the unit is running and he’ll let me know when the parts come in and provide a cost to do the repairs. Thank you for coming out on a rainy day and providing peace of mind so I won’t worry.
Rudd was able to quickly get our maintenance scheduled, and they fixed the issue the first time out. Brandon Hatfield was a knowledgeable and friendly tech.
Ola did a great job on our HVAC maintenance today. Things were mostly good with both systems besides one drain line needing attention and he got it cleared before anything could happen down the road. He explained a few ways the blockage may have occurred and provided options on how we could help mitigate this in the future. Chelsea from the office was also great with communication throughout the process.

Mr. Daniel Gregory was very professional and knowledgeable about his job. Mr. Daniel definitely knew what he was doing and did not hesitate when you asked him questions.
Jessie has been our tech twice and we will definitely continue to request him. He has years of service, but uses that knowledge to genuinely help. It's not often you run into a seasoned person who is still willing to take time to evaluate and explain things. Rudd's team overall has been very friendly and responsive.
Rudd exceeded all expectations! Ola was professional, courteous and genuinely took the time to understand our unique situation as well as our future plans for our home and family! He was very knowledgeable and provided us with excellent advice and data to feel confident when making decisions about our HVAC projects. Nathan came same day to provide formal estimates and was wonderful to work with, he took time to understand exactly what we needed and proposed multiple solutions making it very easy for me to have conversations with my partner! Much to our surprise, Rudd scheduled the install for the next day sending Kenny & Adrian! The install team was very professional, arrived on-time and immediately got started! We had an entirely new HVAC system before 4pm! They cleaned up thoroughly and ensured our home was COLD before leaving! Overall one of the best companies we have experienced especially given the nature of the project! Amazing feeling to know we don’t have to worry about HVAC issues for the next 10 yrs and should anything happen Rudd has our back!
RUDD HVAC is awesome. I went by reviews and had another company tell me yesterday that a new drain line must be installed out my attic for $1650 (No other townhome in this 388 home community has had to do this). I sought a 2nd opinion with RUDD and he found 2 obvious mechanical problems in the attic which the tech yesterday should have seen immediately!!! (the fix was MUCH less). RUDD will now be my go-to HVAC company.
Rudd employee was professional, curtious, and knowledgeable. Provided the mantainence service in a timely fashion. Informed me of all work done and any recommendations.
