Your property depends on the integrity of its sewer line. Without it, your plumbing will grind to a halt, or worse, you’ll end up with a sanitary issue. Unfortunately, sewer lines run through places that are difficult to inspect. They run underground and under slabs, where plumbers can’t reach. That’s why we offer sewer camera inspections. Using this technology, we can inspect your drain and sewer lines to assess their condition, enabling you to take preemptive action.

How Sewer Camera Inspections Work
As the name suggests, a sewer camera inspection relies on video technology. Our plumbers use a borescope with a tiny video camera attached to a long, semi-rigid line. They can use it to inspect your sewer line by inserting it through your sewer cleanout. They’ll push the camera along while monitoring its progress and video feed with a small monitor. That allows our plumber to see clogs, debris, or damage anywhere along your sewer line. Using the information they gather, our plumbers can let you know when your sewer needs maintenance or repair.
- Prevents unexpected sewer backups
- Identifies potential problems
- Saves time and money
- Provides peace of mind
- Guides targeted drain cleaning
Signs You May Need a Camera Inspection
Ideally, your property should have a sewer camera inspection at least once per year. However, if you’re not having one done regularly, there are signs you need one. For example, if multiple drains in your home or business start running slowly, your sewer line needs inspection. Similarly, if you notice foul odors from your drains, schedule a camera inspection of your sewer line.
Common Problems Found During Inspections
Camera inspections can uncover a variety of issues with your sewer line. The most common problem identified is clogs. A camera inspection allows our plumber to see the exact location and composition of a sewer line clog. This way, they can choose the best possible clog-removal method. For example, they might select a power auger to resolve a solid clog. Alternatively, they might choose hydro jetting to clear a grease clog.
Another sewer issue a camera inspection might reveal is cracks in your sewer line. If you can catch those early, trenchless sewer repair may resolve the issue. This means our plumbers may not have to dig up your lawn to restore your sewer line.
- Corrosion
- Tree root incursions
- Sagging and misalignment
- Sediment and mineral buildup
Benefits of Using Camera Technology
Before camera inspections, there were only two ways to assess sewer line issues. One way was deductive reasoning. That relied on the individual plumber’s intuition to use known symptoms to determine the likely cause of a sewer problem. The other method was to dig up the line to look for damage and other issues. Camera inspections eliminate guesswork and the need for costly, disruptive digging. Plus, they help ensure more lasting solutions for any problem they uncover.
