What is going on
You call for a camera inspection when you need facts. Recurring backups. A home you are about to buy. A line that was cleaned and clogged again. Odor in the yard. A camera shows pipe material, joint condition, root intrusion, offsets, bellies and breaks. A locator on the camera head lets us mark the spot on the surface and tell you how deep it is. That turns a vague sewer problem into a specific one with a specific fix.
What we check
- 01
Entry point
Cleanout, roof vent, or toilet removal if there is no other access.
- 02
Full run length
From the house to the city tap or septic tank, as far as the line allows.
- 03
Joint and wall condition
Offsets, cracks, scale and root entry at each joint.
- 04
Low spots
Water standing in the line that marks a belly.
- 05
Location marking
Problem spots located from above and marked with depth.
Your options
Diagnostic inspection
Recurring backups or a mystery smell. Find the cause before paying for a repair.
Pre-purchase inspection
Buying an older home. Know the condition of the sewer before closing.
Post-repair verification
Confirm a cleaning or repair actually solved the problem.
Before we get there
Clear access to the cleanout and let us know if the house has had recent backups. If you are buying the property, confirm with the seller or agent that we can access the cleanout and run water during the visit.
