Video Camera Inspection Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The process starts with accessing your sewer line through an existing cleanout or drain opening. No digging required for the inspection itself. We insert a waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that travels through your pipes.

The camera transmits real-time video as it moves through your sewer system. We’re looking for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe separation, or other issues that affect flow and function.

You can watch the inspection happen and see exactly what we’re seeing. The camera records everything, so you get a video record of your pipe condition. We mark the location and depth of any problems we find, which makes repairs more efficient if needed.

The whole inspection typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system size. You get a clear report of findings and recommendations for any issues discovered.

What Your Inspection Includes

Your sewer camera inspection covers the main line from your house to the street connection, plus any accessible branch lines. We check for common Mississippi issues like root intrusion from oak and pine trees, pipe settling from soil movement, and blockages from grease or debris buildup.

The inspection identifies the exact location and nature of any problems. Cracks, separations, or collapsed sections show up clearly on camera. Root intrusion appears as fuzzy growths or complete blockages. Grease buildup looks like coating on pipe walls that restricts flow.

You receive a detailed report explaining what we found, where problems are located, and what needs attention. If repairs are needed, we can provide accurate estimates because we know exactly what’s wrong and where. No guesswork, no surprises, no unnecessary work.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Ballard?

Sewer camera inspection costs in Ballard typically range from $200 to $400, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer system. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing unnecessary repairs or identifying problems before they become emergencies. Most homeowners find that knowing exactly what’s wrong with their pipes saves money compared to guessing and trying different fixes. If you need repairs after the inspection, many plumbing companies will credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find?

Camera inspections reveal root intrusion, pipe cracks, collapsed sections, grease buildup, foreign objects, pipe separation at joints, and bellied or sagging pipes. In Ballard’s clay soil conditions, we often find pipes that have shifted or settled over time. The camera also shows the overall condition of your pipes, including wear patterns and areas that might need attention in the future. Tree roots from Mississippi’s abundant oak and pine trees are particularly common problems that show up clearly on camera inspection.

How long does a sewer line inspection take?

Most residential sewer camera inspections take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system’s length and complexity. The actual camera insertion and inspection happens quickly, but we take time to thoroughly examine problem areas and explain findings. If we discover issues that need closer examination, it might take a bit longer. You can watch the inspection process in real-time, and we’ll point out anything significant we find during the inspection.

Do I need to prepare my home before the inspection?

Minimal preparation is needed for most sewer camera inspections. We need access to a cleanout port or drain opening, so make sure the area around your main cleanout is accessible. If you don’t have a cleanout, we can often access through a toilet or floor drain. Avoid using water for about an hour before the inspection if possible, as standing water can make it harder to see pipe walls clearly. We’ll let you know about any specific preparation needed for your situation.

What happens if the camera finds problems in my sewer line?

If problems are found, you’ll get a detailed explanation of what’s wrong, where it’s located, and what repair options are available. The camera inspection provides exact locations and measurements, which makes repairs more efficient and cost-effective. You’re not obligated to use us for repairs, but having precise diagnostic information helps any plumber you choose. Minor issues like small root intrusion might be cleared with hydro jetting, while major problems like collapsed pipes require excavation and replacement.

Can a camera inspection prevent future sewer problems?

Camera inspections help prevent problems by identifying issues before they become emergencies. Early detection of root intrusion, small cracks, or joint separation allows for proactive maintenance instead of reactive repairs. Regular inspections every few years can track the condition of aging pipes and help you budget for eventual replacement. In Mississippi’s challenging soil conditions, knowing your pipe condition helps you make informed decisions about landscaping, home improvements, and maintenance scheduling that protects your sewer system long-term.
