Video Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

The process starts with locating your sewer cleanout access point. A flexible cable with a high-resolution camera gets fed into your sewer line, transmitting live video footage as it travels through the entire system.

You can watch the inspection in real-time on a monitor. Our technician explains what you’re seeing – whether it’s normal wear, minor issues, or problems that need immediate attention. The camera captures footage of blockages, cracks, joint separations, root intrusion, or any structural damage.

After the inspection, you receive a detailed report with video documentation and clear recommendations. No technical jargon or pressure tactics – just the facts about your sewer system’s condition and what your options are moving forward.

Complete Sewer Line Inspection Services

What's Included in Your Inspection

Your sewer inspection includes a complete video survey of accessible sewer lines from your home to the main connection. Our high-definition camera captures clear footage of pipe condition, joint integrity, and any obstructions or damage.

You receive a comprehensive video report showing exactly what was found, along with GPS mapping of problem areas when needed. The documentation includes recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or monitoring based on actual conditions found during the inspection.

For Raytown properties, this service is particularly valuable given the area’s mix of older and newer infrastructure. Many homes have sewer lines installed decades ago that may show signs of settling, root intrusion, or material deterioration that’s common in Mississippi’s soil conditions.

Most residential sewer inspections take 1-2 hours depending on your property’s layout and the length of sewer line being inspected. The actual camera work usually takes 30-45 minutes, with additional time needed for setup, explanation, and report preparation. If we encounter significant blockages that need clearing before inspection, it may take longer. You’ll watch the process in real-time, so there are no surprises about timing or what we’re finding.
Video inspection identifies most common sewer line issues including root intrusion, pipe cracks or breaks, joint separations, collapsed sections, and blockages from grease or debris buildup. It also shows pipe material condition, bellied sections where pipes have settled, and connection problems at joints. The camera can detect issues that aren’t yet causing obvious symptoms, which helps you address problems before they become expensive emergencies requiring excavation.
No digging is required for standard sewer camera inspection. The camera enters through existing cleanout access points or through drain connections inside your home. Your landscaping, driveway, and property remain undisturbed during the inspection process. The only time excavation might be discussed is if the inspection reveals problems that require repair, but that’s a separate decision you’ll make after seeing exactly what needs attention.
Sewer camera inspection costs vary based on the scope of inspection needed and accessibility of your sewer lines. Most residential inspections in Raytown range from $200-400 for standard service. You’ll receive upfront pricing before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If you’re dealing with recurring drain problems or considering a major property purchase, the inspection cost is typically much less than dealing with unexpected sewer repairs later.
Consider sewer inspection if you’re experiencing recurring drain backups, slow drainage throughout your home, sewage odors, or unexplained wet areas in your yard. It’s also smart before buying a home, especially older properties where sewer line condition isn’t obvious from surface inspection. Many homeowners schedule inspections every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance, particularly if they have mature trees near sewer lines or live in areas with known infrastructure issues.
Professional sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or fixtures. The camera equipment is designed specifically for sewer line inspection, with flexible cables and cameras sized appropriately for residential plumbing systems. The process is gentler than typical drain cleaning methods. In fact, inspection often prevents damage by identifying problems before they require aggressive repair methods or emergency interventions that could affect your plumbing system.
