Camera Inspection Overview

See Inside the Line Before You Spend Money

Guessing at a sewer problem is expensive. A camera inspection sends a waterproof camera through the line from a cleanout or the house, recording the condition of the pipe and the exact location and depth of any fault.

It turns a vague problem into a specific one, so you know whether a line needs cleaning, a spot repair or replacement before anyone digs.

When a camera inspection makes sense

Repeated clogs, a line that backs up after cleaning, buying a home with an older sewer or septic line, planning construction near a line, or finding a lost tank or line on an older property are all good reasons to run a camera.

Step By Step

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works

Most camera inspections are completed in a single short visit.

1. Access the Line

We use a cleanout, a removed toilet or another access point.

2. Run the Camera

The camera travels the line while you watch live.

3. Locate Faults

Each fault is located and its depth measured from the surface.

4. Mark the Ground

Fault locations are marked so any repair digs in the right place.

We explain what the footage shows in plain terms.

6. Recommend Next Steps

Cleaning, repair or no action, with a clear price.
