Sewer Camera Inspection
See inside your lines
Pinpoint blockages and damage with high-resolution sewer line camera inspection and locating preventing surprises and costly repairs.
What Is Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection uses a high-resolution waterproof camera mounted on a flexible push rod to travel the length of your sewer line and broadcast a live video feed back to the technician. Pipe locating equipment pinpoints the exact depth and position of any issue from above ground, eliminating guesswork. The result is a clear, recorded look at the interior condition of your drain and sewer pipes, including any cracks, bellies, root intrusion, separated joints, or foreign objects.
Why Is Sewer Camera Inspection Important?
Sewer lines are buried, so the only way to truly know their condition is to see inside them. A camera inspection turns a hidden problem into a documented one, allowing for accurate, targeted repairs instead of expensive exploratory digging. It also protects buyers and sellers during real estate transactions, confirms that previous repairs were done correctly, and provides peace of mind that your underground plumbing is healthy.
When Should You Consider Sewer Camera Inspection?
Schedule a camera inspection before purchasing an older home, after recurring backups, when planning a major remodel that ties into existing drains, or as a follow-up to confirm that a snaking or jetting job fully cleared the line. Homes with trees near the sewer lateral or with original clay or Orangeburg piping should have an inspection every few years as part of routine maintenance.
