Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
We locate the best entry point for camera insertion. Most inspections enter through a cleanout, but we can access through roof vents or remove a toilet when necessary.
Our waterproof camera attaches to a flexible cable that feeds through the sewer line. The camera head includes LED lights to illuminate pipe interiors.
We record the entire inspection while advancing the camera through your sewer line. Real-time video shows pipe condition, blockages, and damage as we progress toward the street connection.
When we identify damage or blockages, we mark the location using the cable's distance measurement. Electronic locating equipment pinpoints the problem's position in your yard for accurate repair planning.
We review the footage with you and explain what we found. You see the same video we recorded and can ask questions about any concerns.
What We Look for During Inspection
Roots enter through joints or cracks seeking water. We identify root presence, entry points, and severity to recommend appropriate action.
Pipe damage from settling, corrosion, or ground movement shows clearly on camera. We document crack locations and severity.
Low spots in the line trap waste and create recurring clogs. Camera inspection reveals where the line has settled below proper grade.
We identify what's blocking the line including grease buildup, foreign objects, or collapsed sections. Camera inspection shows blockage type and location.
Aging cast iron and clay pipe deteriorate from the inside. Camera footage shows the extent of material breakdown and remaining pipe condition.
Separated or misaligned joints allow soil intrusion and create catching points for waste. We document joint condition throughout the line.
Mineral deposits and grease accumulation narrow the pipe interior. Heavy buildup indicates cleaning needs and potential long-term problems.
What Happens After the Inspection
You receive a written report documenting our findings. The report includes problem locations, severity assessment, and recommended actions.
We provide you with a copy of the inspection video for your records. This documentation proves valuable for insurance claims, home sales, or future reference.
If we identify problems, we explain your options. Minor issues may require only cleaning or spot repair. Extensive damage may warrant line replacement.
You receive clear pricing for recommended repairs or replacement. When multiple approaches exist, we present options with different cost levels and outcomes.
Our inspection service provides information. You decide whether to proceed with repairs immediately, plan for future work, or seek additional opinions.

Sewer Line Inspection FAQs
How long does a sewer line inspection take?
Most residential inspections complete in 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on line length and whether we encounter blockages requiring clearing before the camera can pass.
Do you need to dig up my yard to inspect the sewer line?
No. Camera inspection is completely non-invasive. We access the line through existing cleanouts or plumbing fixtures without any excavation.
What if you find problems during the inspection?
We document all issues and explain what we found. You receive repair or replacement recommendations with cost estimates. You decide whether to proceed with recommended work.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home?
Yes. Pre-purchase inspection reveals expensive sewer problems before you commit to the purchase. Inspection costs far less than surprise sewer repairs after closing.
Can camera inspection find all sewer line problems?
Camera inspection reveals interior pipe condition, blockages, cracks, and root intrusion. It cannot see problems outside the pipe like inadequate soil support or issues beyond complete blockages without clearing first.
