Benefits of a Sewer Camera Inspection Service

Our sewer camera inspection services provide a detailed view of your plumbing system without unnecessary excavation.

During the inspection, we identify:

Root intrusion inside pipes
Cracked, broken, or collapsed sections
Pipe misalignment or sagging areas
Grease, sludge, and debris buildup
Corrosion and pipe deterioration

We insert a flexible, waterproof camera into your sewer line to inspect the full length of the system and locate the exact problem.

When You Should Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection

A sewer line inspection is recommended when you want accurate answers before moving forward with repairs.

You should consider an inspection if:

You are experiencing recurring drain backups
Multiple drains are slow or gurgling
You notice sewer odors inside or outside your home
You are planning sewer line repair or replacement
You are buying or selling a property

Post-Repair Verification and Preventive Inspections

A sewer and drain camera inspection is not only for diagnosing problems. It also helps confirm that repairs are completed correctly.

Post-Repair Verification: After water line repairs or drain cleaning, we use the camera to confirm that the issue has been fully resolved and that your system is flowing properly.

Preventive Maintenance Inspections: Routine inspections can identify early signs of wear, buildup, or structural issues before they turn into major problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a sewer camera inspection find small cracks or early damage?

High-resolution cameras detect small cracks, minor misalignments, root intrusion in early stages, and deterioration that hasn’t yet caused symptoms. Catching these early keeps a minor repair from becoming a full line replacement.

Will a camera inspection damage my pipes?

Camera equipment moves through the line on a flexible rod designed to navigate bends and joints without contact with the pipe wall. The inspection process leaves the pipe in exactly the condition it was found.

Do I need a camera inspection before sewer repair?

In most cases, yes. A camera inspection pinpoints the exact location, type, and extent of the problem before any work begins. Repairs made without that information risk addressing the wrong section or missing a secondary issue further along the line.

Can you inspect both indoor and outdoor sewer lines?

Yes. Interior drain lines and the main sewer line running from the home to the municipal connection are both accessible for camera inspection. Any line with a cleanout access point or an accessible entry can be scoped.

What happens after the inspection is complete?

The footage gets reviewed on-site, with a clear explanation of what the camera found and where. Any repairs, cleaning, or follow-up work gets outlined with options before any commitment is made
