Whether you’re troubleshooting a recurring blockage, buying a new home, or maintaining an older system, our video inspections offer a non-invasive, highly accurate way to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
What Is a Video Sewer Line Inspection?
A video sewer inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera into your sewer or drain line. This camera is mounted on a flexible cable and navigates through the pipe system while transmitting live footage to a monitor viewed by our licensed technicians.
This allows us to pinpoint the location and nature of any problems, including:
Blockages and buildup
Cracked or broken pipes
Tree root intrusions
Corrosion or wear from aging infrastructure
Collapsed or misaligned piping
With this real-time video footage, we can provide a thorough diagnosis and recommend the most effective solution for your situation.
When Should You Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Video sewer inspections are an essential diagnostic tool in a wide range of scenarios. Consider scheduling an inspection if:
You have recurring backups in toilets, tubs, or floor drains
You’re buying a home and want to evaluate the condition of the sewer line
You suspect tree roots or debris may be clogging your main line
You’ve experienced unexplained sewage odors inside or outside your home
You want to confirm the effectiveness of previous repairs
Your home has older clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg piping
Our camera inspections can save you from expensive exploratory digging and help you avoid unnecessary repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of plumbing problems can a sewer camera inspection detect?
Our inspections can reveal many common issues including root intrusion, pipe corrosion, clogs, sagging (or “bellied”) pipes, collapsed lines, and foreign objects lodged in the system.
Is a sewer camera inspection necessary for every sewer problem?
While not always required, video inspections provide an accurate and non-invasive way to diagnose sewer line issues. They’re especially helpful for recurring problems or before major repairs or replacements.
How long does a typical inspection take?
Most inspections take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and how accessible the cleanouts are.
Do I get to see the video footage?
Yes. We review the live footage with you during the inspection and can provide a recording or summary upon request—helpful for insurance claims or real estate documentation.
Is this service only for emergencies?
Not at all. Sewer camera inspections are also ideal for preventative maintenance, post-repair verification, and due diligence when buying or selling a home.
