Video Camera Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

The process starts with locating your main sewer cleanout—usually found near your house or by the street. A flexible cable with a high-resolution camera gets fed into your sewer line, recording everything as it travels through your pipes.

You can watch the inspection happen in real-time on a monitor. Our technician will point out what you’re seeing—whether it’s normal wear, root intrusion, cracks, blockages, or other issues. The camera travels the entire length of your sewer line, from your house to the street connection.

After the inspection, you get a detailed report with video footage of any problems found. If repairs are needed, you’ll know exactly where the issues are located, which saves time and money on any future work. The whole process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on your sewer line length and what we find.

Complete Sewer Line Inspection

What Your Inspection Includes

Your sewer camera inspection covers the entire main sewer line from your house to the street connection. Our high-definition camera captures clear footage of pipe condition, joint connections, and any obstructions or damage along the way.

You receive a comprehensive report documenting everything found during the inspection. This includes video footage, location details of any problems, and professional recommendations for addressing issues. In Star’s clay soil conditions, we pay special attention to root intrusion points and areas where shifting soil might have affected pipe alignment.

The inspection also identifies the type and age of your sewer pipes, which helps with future maintenance planning. If you’re dealing with recurring problems, the camera inspection often reveals underlying issues that standard drain cleaning can’t address—like bellied pipes, separated joints, or significant root intrusion that requires more targeted solutions.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Star, MS?

Sewer camera inspection costs in Star typically range from $200-400, depending on your sewer line length and accessibility. This investment often saves hundreds or thousands of dollars by identifying problems before they become emergencies. Many homeowners find that knowing exactly what’s wrong—and what isn’t—helps them make better decisions about repairs and avoid unnecessary work. If you need repairs after the inspection, most plumbing companies will credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find?

Video camera inspection reveals root intrusion, cracked or broken pipes, separated joints, bellied sections where pipes have sagged, grease buildup, and foreign objects causing blockages. In Star’s clay soil, we commonly find issues caused by soil movement and tree root penetration. The camera also shows pipe material and overall condition, helping predict future problems. You’ll see exactly where problems are located along your sewer line, which is crucial information for targeted repairs rather than guessing where to dig.

How long does a sewer line inspection take?

Most sewer camera inspections take 30-60 minutes, depending on your sewer line length and what’s discovered during the process. Simple inspections on shorter lines might be completed in 30 minutes, while longer sewer lines or those with multiple issues to document can take up to an hour. Our technician will take time to explain what you’re seeing on the monitor and answer your questions during the inspection. You’ll receive your report and video footage immediately after the inspection is complete.

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

Minimal preparation is needed for most sewer camera inspections. Our technician needs access to your main sewer cleanout, which is usually located outside your home near the foundation or by the street. Make sure this area is accessible and clear of obstacles. You don’t need to avoid using water or drains beforehand—in fact, recent water usage can help flush debris and provide clearer camera footage. If you’re unsure where your cleanout is located, our technician can help locate it using specialized equipment.

When should I get my sewer line inspected?

Get a sewer inspection when you’re experiencing recurring drain problems, slow drainage throughout your house, sewer odors, or gurgling sounds from drains. It’s also smart to inspect before buying a home, especially if it’s over 20 years old or has large trees near the sewer line. Many Star homeowners schedule inspections every few years as preventive maintenance, particularly if they have older clay or cast iron pipes. If you’ve had recent backups or needed frequent drain cleaning, an inspection can reveal whether there’s an underlying problem causing these recurring issues.

Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or property?

Professional sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes or property. The flexible camera cable is designed to navigate through pipes without causing harm, even in older or fragile sewer lines. There’s no digging, no disruption to your landscaping, and no mess inside your home. The camera simply travels through your existing sewer line using the same path that waste water normally follows. This makes video inspection the safest way to diagnose sewer problems without the cost and disruption of exploratory digging.
