Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
From first contact to completed work, here's how we approach every sewer camera inspection service call:
Locate the Cleanout
We find the appropriate access point for the camera — typically a cleanout pipe near the foundation.
Insert the Camera
A flexible waterproof camera is inserted and pushed through the line at slow, deliberate speed.
Document Findings
We record the inspection and note any areas of concern — roots, cracks, offset joints, or buildups.
Review With You
Footage is reviewed on-site so you can see exactly what we found and where.
Recommend Next Steps
We explain what repairs are needed, what can wait, and what options are available for each finding.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
Without a camera, sewer line issues are essentially guesswork. A camera confirms the exact type, location, and severity of the problem — preventing unnecessary digging or repairs.
Highly recommended. Sewer line issues are not visible on a standard home inspection. A camera inspection can reveal problems that would cost thousands to repair after you've bought the home.
Our cameras can inspect most residential sewer lines in their entirety — typically 50–100 feet from the cleanout access point.
Tree roots appear as tangled, hair-like strands or dense clumps inside the pipe. They can significantly restrict flow and eventually cause pipe collapse if untreated.
The camera inspection is diagnostic. After we review findings with you, we explain repair options and pricing. You decide how to proceed — there's no obligation to repair on the same visit.
