HD camera scope, recorded video + written summary, sonde locate. Flat-rate $200-$350, 50-65 min response, no Hamilton County surcharge.

Geist Reservoir basement backup diagnostic. Properties in 46040 and the lower-elevation pockets of 46037 face a unique diagnostic challenge: when the basement floor drain backs up after a storm event, was it a line blockage (drain cleaning fixes), backwater valve failure (replace valve), or storm-driven water table surcharge (sump capacity or structural fix)? Camera scope identifies the cause within 10 minutes. The diagnosis matters because each cause has a different fix path — and a different insurance treatment. We document for the carrier and recommend the right next step.
Nickel Plate District pre-purchase scopes. Pre-purchase scopes are particularly important in the dense Nickel Plate townhome and loft conversions because of shared-main complications. The scope identifies whether the unit you're buying has its own lateral or shares one with neighboring units (HOA-managed), maps the actual routing (often different from the documented plan), and assesses condition. For 1990s-2000s standalone Fishers homes, the scope identifies builder-grade horizontal-run buildup vs structural issues before closing.
1990s subdivision belly-vs-buildup diagnostic. Central Fishers homes from the 1990s-2000s era often present the same complaint: "kitchen line clears, runs fine for 2-3 weeks, then slows again." Two possible causes: builder-grade wall buildup (cleaning fix) or partial belly from ground settling (spot repair). Without the scope you're paying for repeated cabling that won't fix the underlying issue. Scope finds bellies and measures their severity — bellies under 1/4 of pipe diameter can be managed with periodic jetting; deeper bellies need spot repair.
Nickel Plate restaurant rotation documentation. Operators on the Nickel Plate corridor on a scheduled hydro jet rotation use pre/post scope as part of every service cycle. The pre-scope confirms line condition before 4,000 PSI; the post-scope documents the result for health inspection records and operator files. Both videos get emailed the same night.

Yes — this is one of the most important Geist scopes we do. After a storm event basement backup, the camera identifies whether the cause is partial lateral blockage (jet/clean), backwater valve failure (replace), or water-table-driven surcharge (sump capacity / structural). Insurance claims need this diagnosis documented.
Yes. Pre-purchase scopes are particularly valuable in Nickel Plate District townhomes and lofts (shared main considerations) and around Geist (water-table risk assessment). Same-day turnaround for inspection contingencies.
Builder-grade horizontal runs with marginal slope, occasional partial bellies from ground settling, accumulated grease and soap wall buildup. Important: these are usually maintenance issues, not structural problems. Scope identifies which is which.
Average dispatch from central Indianapolis is 50-65 minutes. Same-day scheduling for nearly every scope call before 3 PM. Pre-purchase scopes for inspection contingencies turn around same-day if booked before noon.
Yes — and this is the single biggest reason pre-purchase scopes matter in townhome transactions. The scope identifies where your branch lateral ends and the HOA-managed shared main begins, which affects your future repair responsibility and quoted pricing.
Yes — and we provide carrier-ready documentation. Recorded HD video plus a written summary identifying the cause goes to the insurance adjuster the same day. We don't bill insurance directly but we make the paperwork easy.
Yes. PVC is one of the easiest materials to scope — smooth interior, clear video. We identify joint condition, fittings, slope issues, and any structural problems within 10-15 minutes per line.
