You’ve been dealing with slow drains, backups, or strange gurgling sounds for weeks. Maybe months. You’ve tried drain cleaners, called for basic service calls, but the problems keep coming back.

A sewer camera inspection changes everything. Instead of guessing what’s wrong, you see it. High-definition video shows you exactly where the blockage is, what’s causing it, and how serious the problem really is.

You’ll know if it’s tree roots, a collapsed pipe, grease buildup, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll know whether you need a simple cleaning, a targeted repair, or if you’re looking at something bigger. No more throwing money at temporary fixes that don’t solve anything.

Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Inspection

We start by locating your main sewer cleanout—usually found near your house or close to the street. Our waterproof camera connects to a flexible cable that feeds directly into your sewer line.

As the camera moves through your pipes, it transmits real-time video to our monitor. We can see everything: cracks, blockages, root intrusions, pipe joints, and the overall condition of your sewer line. The camera records everything, so you’ll have documentation of what we find.

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your property size and the length of your sewer line. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing as we go, pointing out any problem areas and explaining what they mean for your plumbing system.

You’ll receive a detailed report with video footage and our recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find?

Our video camera inspection identifies virtually any issue inside your sewer line. Common problems we find include tree root intrusions, pipe cracks or collapses, grease blockages, foreign objects, misaligned pipe joints, and overall pipe deterioration. We can also locate exactly where problems occur, which saves time and money on targeted repairs. The camera shows us pipe material, diameter changes, and connection points to your septic system or municipal sewer. This detailed information helps you make informed decisions about repairs or replacements.

How long does a sewer line inspection take?

Most residential sewer inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes. The time depends on your sewer line length, accessibility of cleanouts, and whether we encounter any obstacles that require additional investigation. Simple, straight-run sewer lines inspect quickly, while properties with multiple branch lines or complex layouts take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and keep you informed throughout the process. You’re welcome to watch the inspection on our monitor and ask questions as we work.

Do I need to prepare my property before the inspection?

Minimal preparation is needed for most sewer inspections. We need access to your main sewer cleanout, which is usually located near your house foundation or between your house and the street. Clear any obstacles around the cleanout area if possible. You don’t need to avoid using water or drains before the inspection—in fact, recent water usage can help us see how your system handles flow. If you’re not sure where your cleanout is located, don’t worry. We can help locate it or access your sewer line through other entry points if necessary.

Will the camera inspection damage my pipes?

Professional sewer camera inspections are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. Our cameras are specifically designed for sewer line inspection, with flexible cables that navigate bends and turns without causing harm. The camera head is waterproof and sized appropriately for residential sewer lines. We’ve inspected thousands of sewer lines without causing damage to the pipes themselves. In fact, the inspection often helps prevent damage by identifying problems before they cause pipe failures or costly emergency situations.

Can you inspect my sewer line if it's completely blocked?

If your sewer line is completely blocked, we typically need to clear the blockage first before performing a thorough camera inspection. However, we can often use the camera to locate and identify the blockage, which helps us choose the most effective clearing method. After clearing the line, we’ll perform a complete video inspection to check for underlying problems that may have caused the blockage. This approach ensures we address both the immediate problem and any conditions that might cause future blockages.
