Sewer Camera Inspection Guide

Inside Your Sewer Line

A sewer camera inspection allows technicians to see inside your sewer pipes without digging. A small waterproof camera is inserted into the line and sends live video to a monitor. This shows the true condition of the pipe and removes guesswork.

Camera inspections are recommended when drains back up repeatedly, when slow drains affect multiple fixtures, or when clearing a blockage only works temporarily after drain cleaning

Common Problems Found Inside Sewer Pipes

The camera can identify tree root intrusion, cracked pipes, corrosion, offset joints, sagging sections, and full collapses. These problems are often hidden underground and cannot be diagnosed from surface symptoms alone.

What to Expect During a Sewer Camera Inspection

The inspection process is straightforward. A technician accesses the sewer through a cleanout, feeds the camera through the line, records the footage, and marks problem areas. The findings are reviewed with the homeowner so next steps are clear.
Camera inspections help determine whether sewer line repair is required or if a simpler solution will solve the issue

They are also valuable for home buyers, older properties, and homeowners planning major renovations. Knowing the pipe condition early helps avoid costly surprises later.
