See the Problem, Skip the Surprises

You’re tired of plumbers who guess at what’s wrong with your sewer line. One says it’s roots, another thinks it’s a broken pipe, and you’re stuck paying for solutions that don’t work.

Video camera inspection changes that completely. You get a real-time look inside your pipes, showing exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it. No more digging up your yard to “see what we find.” No more paying for repairs that miss the actual issue.

When you know what’s wrong, you can fix it right the first time. That means fewer service calls, less disruption to your property, and repair costs that actually solve the problem instead of just treating symptoms.

Video Inspection Process Madison MS

Here's How We Inspect Your Lines

The process starts with accessing your sewer line through a cleanout or drain opening. A high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable gets fed through your pipes, transmitting live video back to a monitor.

As the camera moves through your sewer line, it captures footage of the pipe’s interior condition. You can see cracks, blockages, root intrusion, or other issues in real time. The camera’s location is tracked precisely, so if problems are found, we know exactly where they are without digging exploratory holes.

After the inspection, you receive a detailed report with video footage and written findings. This documentation shows you exactly what was found, where problems are located, and what repairs or maintenance might be needed. You’re not taking anyone’s word for it – you’re seeing the evidence yourself.

Most residential sewer inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find during the inspection. If your lines are clear and in good condition, the process moves quickly. If we discover issues that need closer examination, it might take a bit longer to document everything properly. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe before starting and keep you informed if anything changes during the inspection.
Camera inspection reveals blockages from grease, debris, or foreign objects, root intrusion from trees and shrubs, cracked or broken pipes, collapsed sections, and joint separations where pipe sections have pulled apart. It also shows the overall condition of your pipes, including corrosion, scaling, or deterioration that could lead to future problems. In Madison’s older neighborhoods, we often find issues with clay pipes that have shifted or cracked over time, as well as root problems from the area’s mature trees.
