What a Sewer Camera Inspection Reveals

A sewer camera inspection is more than a quick look; it’s a detailed evaluation of your plumbing’s hidden areas. We insert a waterproof, high-resolution camera through a drain or cleanout to show the live interior of your sewer line on a monitor. It reveals damage, blockages, tree roots, and pipe condition without digging, and prevents future damage.

The inspection reveals the following:

Tree roots: Roots naturally seek water. They squeeze through small cracks and pipe joints to grow inside.

Cracks and breaks: The video shows cracked, split, or collapsed pipe walls.

Bellies: This is a sag in the pipe. The pipe drops, which creates a low spot where water and waste pool instead of flowing.

Misaligned joints: Pipe sections may shift out of place. This traps debris and causes leaks.

Corrosion: The camera spots flaking, rust, and wall loss in older metal or cast iron pipes

Grease Buildup: Grease and oil can coat the inside of pipes, narrow their diameter, and slow water flow. Over time, this can cause blockages. A video inspection identifies buildup, allowing it to be cleaned before it causes major issues.

Foreign Object Blockages: Toys, wipes, and other objects can get stuck in pipes, restricting water flow and causing backups. A camera inspection locates the object precisely, making removal faster and easier.

Is Your Plumbing Due for a Video Camera Inspection?

A video camera inspection is one of the most accurate ways to identify hidden plumbing problems without unnecessary digging or guesswork. It allows us to pinpoint issues quickly, saving you both time and money. Knowing when to schedule one can help prevent costly repairs and protect your plumbing system.

When to Get an Inspection

• Frequent Clogs: If your drains back up often.
• Slow Drains: If water takes too long to leave the sink or tub.
• Odd Noises: If toilets gurgle or drains make sucking sounds.
• Buying a Home: To check the sewer line before you buy.
• Preventative Check: Every 18 to 24 months to spot small issues early.
• Sewer Line Backups: When sewage backs up into your home, it’s often a sign of a major obstruction or damage.
• Unexplained High Water Bills: If your water usage hasn’t changed but your bill has skyrocketed, a hidden leak could be the culprit.
• Old or Deteriorating Pipes: If your home has aging plumbing, an inspection can assess its condition and identify corrosion, cracks, or other issues before they turn into costly emergencies.
