Video Camera Inspection Process

Here's How We Find The Problem

The process starts with accessing your sewer line through a cleanout or drain opening. A waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable travels through your pipes, recording everything it encounters.

You can watch the inspection in real-time on a monitor. Our technician explains what you’re seeing as the camera moves through your system – whether it’s normal wear, minor buildup, or serious damage that needs attention.

The camera locates problems precisely, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to dig or which section of pipe to target. You get a copy of the video footage for your records. The entire inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on your system’s complexity.

What You Get With Every Inspection

Every sewer camera inspection includes a thorough examination of your main sewer line from your house to the street connection. Our high-resolution camera captures clear footage of pipe condition, joint integrity, and any obstructions or damage.

You receive detailed documentation of findings, including video footage and a written summary of the inspection results. If problems are found, you get specific recommendations for repairs with no pressure to decide immediately.

The inspection covers common issues Mississippi homeowners face: root intrusion from mature trees, pipe settling in clay soil, and deterioration from age. You’ll know whether your sewer line needs immediate attention, minor maintenance, or is in good condition for years to come.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Rufus?

Sewer camera inspection costs vary based on the complexity of your system and accessibility of your sewer line. Most residential inspections range from $200-400, which is significantly less than the cost of unnecessary repairs or emergency service calls. The investment pays for itself by preventing expensive surprises and ensuring you only fix what actually needs attention. Many homeowners find that knowing the exact condition of their sewer line gives them peace of mind worth far more than the inspection cost.

What problems can video camera inspection find in sewer lines?

Video inspection identifies virtually any issue affecting your sewer line’s performance. Common findings include tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, grease and debris buildup, improper installation, pipe settling or shifting, and foreign objects causing blockages. The camera also reveals joint separation, corrosion in older pipes, and structural damage from ground movement. In Mississippi’s clay soil conditions, pipe settling and root intrusion are particularly common issues that camera inspection can pinpoint precisely.

How long does a sewer line video inspection take?

Most residential sewer camera inspections take 30-60 minutes to complete thoroughly. The actual time depends on the length of your sewer line, number of connections, and whether problems are discovered that require closer examination. Simple, straightforward systems may be inspected in 30 minutes, while complex layouts or systems with multiple issues might take up to an hour. You can watch the entire process in real-time, and we explain findings as the inspection progresses.

Do I need to prepare my home before sewer camera inspection?

Minimal preparation is required for most sewer camera inspections. We need access to your main sewer cleanout, which is typically located outside your home near the foundation or in the basement. Clear any obstacles from the cleanout area and ensure we can access it easily. If your system doesn’t have a cleanout, the camera may be inserted through a drain inside your home. Avoid using water fixtures during the inspection to keep the line clear for optimal camera visibility.

Can camera inspection damage my sewer pipes?

Professional sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. The waterproof camera is designed specifically for pipe inspection and moves smoothly through your sewer line without scraping or forcing its way through tight spots. The flexible cable follows the natural path of your pipes, and our experienced technicians know how to navigate bends and connections safely. This diagnostic method is far gentler than traditional methods like snaking or hydro jetting, which can sometimes cause additional damage to already weakened pipes.

When should I get my sewer line inspected with a camera?

Schedule a camera inspection when you experience recurring drain problems, slow drainage throughout your home, sewage odors, or gurgling sounds from drains. It’s also smart to inspect before buying or selling a home, after major landscaping work near sewer lines, or if your home is over 20 years old and has never been inspected. Many homeowners in Mississippi benefit from periodic inspections due to aggressive tree root growth and soil conditions that can affect pipe stability over time.
