Detailed Sewer Camera Inspections

Sewer Camera Inspection Services

A sewer camera inspection is the most accurate way to see what’s happening inside your plumbing system without digging or guesswork. Using specialized waterproof cameras, we perform a full sewer line inspection to identify blockages, damage, and hidden issues inside your pipes.

Whether you’re dealing with recurring drain problems or want clarity before moving forward with repairs, a professional plumbing camera inspection gives you clear answers fast.

Do You Really Need a Sewer Camera Inspection?

Not every plumbing issue is visible. When problems develop inside your sewer line, a drain camera inspection helps confirm exactly what’s going on before any work begins.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a sewer pipe inspection may be recommended:

• Recurring backups across multiple drains

• Persistent sewer odors inside or outside the home

• Gurgling sounds in your plumbing system

• Wet, sunken, or unusually green areas in your yard

• Slow drainage affecting more than one fixture

• Water pooling without a clear source

• Unexpected increases in water usage

These conditions often indicate an issue within the main line that requires a sewer line inspection to confirm the cause.

What’s Included with Our Sewer Camera Inspection Services

Real-Time Video Scans

We insert a high-resolution camera into your system to perform a complete sewer inspection, giving a live view of your pipe’s condition from the inside. This allows us to spot issues immediately during the inspection instead of relying on guesswork or delayed diagnostics.

Leak Detection Inspection

We perform a thorough leak detection inspection to confirm the integrity of the sewer line. This will help us determine if the current one can be salvaged or if a full or partial replacement is needed. Our camera survey will help us look for cracks in the lining, pooled water, and other signs that could point to a leak.

Accurate Problem Identification

A professional sewer camera inspection allows us to identify issues like root intrusion, pipe damage, buildup, or blockages with precision. By seeing the exact cause, we avoid unnecessary work and ensure the right solution is recommended from the start.

Location Mapping

We use advanced locating equipment during the plumbing camera inspection to determine the exact position and depth of any issue. This eliminates unnecessary digging and helps target the problem area with minimal disruption.

Post-Repair Verification

After cleaning or repair work, a follow-up drain camera inspection confirms the line is clear and functioning properly. It also verifies that the issue has been fully resolved before the job is considered complete.

Documentation for Insurance Companies

We provide recorded footage and detailed reports from your sewer pipe inspection for insurance, permits, or property documentation. Having visual evidence on file makes it easier to support claims and document the condition of your sewer line over time.

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works

A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a flexible, waterproof camera through an access point in your plumbing system. As the camera travels through the pipe, it transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our technician to evaluate the condition of the line.

If issues are found during the inspection, we can recommend the next step, whether that’s cleaning, repair, or replacement based on what the camera reveals.

In general, repairs are recommended when the pipe structure is still intact, but there are localized problems such as small cracks, minor root intrusion, or buildup causing blockages. These issues can often be addressed without replacing the entire line.

Replacement is typically necessary when the pipe has significant structural damage, such as collapses, severe corrosion, major offsets, or widespread deterioration throughout the line. In these cases, restoring proper function requires installing a new section or full sewer line.

The inspection ensures that any recommendation is based on direct visual evidence, not assumptions, so the scope of work matches the actual condition of the pipe.
