A sewer camera inspection in Rolesville shows the inside of the private pipe between your house and Raleigh Water's sewer, so a plumber can find a settled section, a shifted joint, roots or a blockage and show you where it is. Most Rolesville homes are new, so the cause is usually a specific defect. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Rolesville.
How the call works
This number connects you with an independent local plumber who covers Rolesville. Say which drains are backing up, when it began and whether you've seen water at the cleanout. On the visit, the plumber opens the cleanout, clears the line if water is standing in it, and runs a camera down the pipe while watching the monitor and distance counter.
Each finding gets logged by distance, and the plumber can save the video. If digging is needed, a transmitter in the camera head lets them mark the exact spot on the lawn. In a newer subdivision with sod, irrigation and fencing, that precision keeps a repair from turning into a landscaping project. You should leave the visit knowing what the problem is, how far from the house it sits and what the realistic fixes are.
Cost factors
- Cleanout access
- Whether the line needs clearing first
- Run length to the public sewer
- Locating and a copy of the recording
Rolesville conditions
Rolesville's water and sewer come from the City of Raleigh. The town's new-residents page lists Raleigh Water at 919-996-3245, with emergency lines of 919-996-2737 on weekdays and 919-829-1930 after hours. If a backup could be on the public side, those are the numbers to call. Rural homes outside the service area are a different situation and may not be on municipal sewer.
Rolesville is one of Wake's fastest-growing towns, with a median build year of 2013 and about 64% of homes built since 2010. Lines that young are almost all plastic. The typical camera findings are low spots where trench backfill settled, joints shifted during construction or landscaping, and wipes or grease caught at a fitting. Root trouble is less common at first but grows as trees planted with new neighborhoods mature. Building and plumbing permits for repairs go through Wake County Permits and Inspections, not the town.
Before the plumber arrives
- Stop using water if the line is backed up
- Find the cleanout, often near the front of the house
- Note which fixtures backed up and when
- Check whether your builder warranty still covers the line
- Mark irrigation heads near the cleanout so they aren't damaged
