Professional Sewer Camera Inspection Services

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.

Complete Sewer Line Inspection Madison

What You Get With Every Inspection

Every sewer inspection includes a complete video examination of your accessible sewer lines from your home to the main connection. We check for common Madison-area issues like root intrusion from mature trees, settling problems that affect older neighborhoods, and blockages from debris buildup.

You receive high-definition video footage of the inspection along with a written report detailing any issues found. If problems are discovered, the report includes recommendations for repairs and maintenance. The documentation is detailed enough for insurance claims and property transactions.

The inspection also identifies the condition of your pipes, helping you plan for future maintenance before small problems become expensive emergencies. You’ll know if your sewer lines are in good shape or if there are developing issues that need attention.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

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.

What problems can video inspection find in my sewer lines?

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.

Do you provide documentation of what you find?

Yes, you receive both video footage and a written report detailing our findings. The video shows exactly what we discovered during the inspection, and the written report explains what each issue means and includes recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance. This documentation is comprehensive enough for insurance claims, property sales, or getting estimates from contractors. Many customers use these reports when selling their homes or filing insurance claims for sewer line problems.

How much does sewer camera inspection cost in Madison?

Inspection costs vary depending on the length and complexity of your sewer system, but most residential inspections in Madison range from reasonable diagnostic fees that often get applied toward repair costs if you choose to move forward with recommended work. The investment in inspection typically saves money by preventing unnecessary repairs and helping you address problems before they become expensive emergencies. Contact Roeders Plumbing for specific pricing based on your property’s needs.

Can camera inspection damage my pipes?

No, video camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. The camera equipment is designed specifically for sewer lines and moves through your pipes gently. The flexible cable and camera head are sized appropriately for residential sewer systems and won’t cause scratches, cracks, or other damage. This inspection method is much safer for your pipes than traditional methods that involved guesswork and exploratory digging that could potentially cause damage to your property or plumbing system.

When should I have my sewer lines inspected?

Schedule an inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, gurgling sounds from drains, or foul odors from your sewer system. It’s also smart to get an inspection before buying a home, after significant plumbing problems, or if your property has mature trees near sewer lines. Many Madison homeowners schedule inspections every few years as preventive maintenance, especially in older neighborhoods where sewer lines are more likely to develop problems. If you’re planning major landscaping or construction work, an inspection helps you locate and protect your sewer lines.
