Emergency Sewer Camera Inspection After a Backup
A backup is a symptom. A camera finds the cause so the next one does not happen.

RECCH 1600:00:00Emergency Camera Inspection explained.
When sewage backs up into a tub or floor drain, the first job is to stop using water and get help. The second is to find out why, because clearing a line without knowing the cause just resets the clock.
We respond to urgent calls as quickly as we can, camera the line to find the blockage or break, and tell you what we see. If cleaning is needed first to let the camera through, we say so and plan it.

What should I do first?
Stop using water, avoid contact with the sewage, keep people and pets away and call (615) 952-0844.
Will you clean it too?
We can discuss cleaning or jetting if the camera needs a clear line to continue, and we explain it before we proceed.
What if the problem is in the street?
The footage can show that. You can then give it to your sewer utility with a service request.
