See the Problem, Fix It Right

You’re tired of plumbers who show up, poke around, and give you their best guess about what’s wrong with your sewer line. Maybe they’re right, maybe they’re not—but you’re the one paying for trial and error.

Video camera inspection changes that completely. Instead of digging up your yard or tearing apart your bathroom floor based on assumptions, you get to see exactly what’s blocking your drains, where tree roots have invaded your pipes, or how much your sewer line has deteriorated.

The camera doesn’t lie. When we’re done, you’ll have clear footage showing the condition of your entire sewer system, plus a detailed explanation of what needs attention now versus what can wait. No more wondering if you’re being oversold or if there’s a cheaper fix you’re not hearing about.

Video Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Answers

We start by accessing your sewer line through an existing cleanout or, if necessary, removing a toilet to reach the main line. Our waterproof camera gets fed through your pipes on a flexible cable, recording everything it sees along the way.

The camera head has its own LED lighting and can navigate bends, joints, and different pipe materials without any problem. As it moves through your system, we’re watching the feed in real-time and can stop to examine problem areas more closely.

Once the inspection is complete, we’ll review the footage with you, pointing out any issues we found and explaining what they mean for your plumbing system. You’ll get a written report documenting our findings, so you have everything you need to make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance.

More Than Just Finding Problems

Our sewer camera inspection covers your entire system from the house connection to the street. We’re looking for blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, joint separation, and any structural issues that could cause problems down the road.

You’ll receive detailed documentation including video footage, photos of problem areas, and a written report explaining our findings. If we find issues that need attention, we’ll give you honest recommendations about timing and repair options—what needs immediate attention versus what you can plan for later.

Johns area properties often deal with specific challenges like root intrusion from mature trees and settling issues related to our soil conditions. We understand these local factors and how they affect your sewer system, so our recommendations take into account what’s realistic for your property and budget.

Sewer camera inspection typically costs between $200-400 depending on the complexity of your system and accessibility. This investment often saves you hundreds or thousands by identifying the exact problem location and extent, preventing unnecessary excavation or repair work. Many customers find that knowing exactly what’s wrong—and what’s not—gives them peace of mind and helps them budget for any needed repairs. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know what to expect.
Video camera inspection reveals blockages, tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, joint separation, grease buildup, and foreign objects stuck in your lines. We can also identify bellied sections where pipes have settled and hold water, corrosion in older pipes, and connection problems between different pipe materials. The camera shows us the exact location and severity of problems, which is crucial for planning effective repairs. You’ll see everything we see, so there’s no guesswork about what’s actually happening in your sewer system.
Most sewer camera inspections take 1-2 hours depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find along the way. If we discover problems that need closer examination, it might take a bit longer to document everything properly. The actual camera work is usually finished within an hour, but we take time to review the footage with you and explain our findings. We don’t rush through inspections because the whole point is giving you accurate, complete information about your sewer system’s condition.
Sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or property. The camera is designed specifically for pipe inspection and moves through your system without causing any harm to existing plumbing. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts when possible, or through standard plumbing connections. There’s no digging, no breaking through walls, and no disruption to your landscaping. The camera cable is flexible enough to navigate bends and joints without putting stress on your pipes.
Absolutely. Sewer line problems can cost thousands to repair, and they’re not always obvious during a standard home inspection. A camera inspection reveals the true condition of the sewer system before you own the problem. This is especially important in Johns where older homes may have cast iron or clay pipes that are prone to root intrusion and deterioration. Many buyers use inspection findings to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with sellers. It’s much better to know about sewer issues before closing than to discover them after you’ve moved in.
For most homes, sewer camera inspection every 3-5 years is sufficient for preventive maintenance. However, if you have older pipes, large trees near your sewer line, or have experienced recurring drain problems, annual inspections make more sense. Properties with cast iron or clay pipes benefit from more frequent monitoring since these materials are more susceptible to root intrusion and deterioration. If you’ve had previous sewer repairs, periodic inspection helps ensure the work is holding up and catches new problems early when they’re easier and cheaper to fix.
