Stop Guessing. Start Solving the Problem.
Many plumbing problems develop underground or inside pipes, making them impossible to diagnose from the surface alone.
A sewer camera inspection gives us a clear view inside your plumbing system, allowing us to identify the cause and location of the problem before recommending repairs. Instead of relying on guesswork, you’ll receive an accurate diagnosis, honest recommendations, and options tailored to your home’s needs.
By understanding the root cause, we can recommend the right solution the first time, helping you avoid unnecessary repairs and recurring plumbing issues.

Common Problems We Find
Sewer camera inspections help uncover hidden issues that may be causing recurring clogs, slow drains, backups, and other plumbing concerns.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots can grow into your sewer line, restricting flow and causing recurring backups.
Cracked or Broken Pipes
Damaged sewer lines can leak, back up, or prevent wastewater from flowing properly.
Grease & Debris Buildup
Grease, sludge, and debris can build up inside your pipes, leading to stubborn clogs.
Pipe Corrosion or Deterioration
Older pipes can deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of leaks, cracks, and failures.
Shifted or Sagging Pipes
Pipes that have shifted or sagged can collect wastewater and cause recurring drainage issues.
Pipe Material & Condition
We can identify the type and overall condition of your sewer line to help determine the best repair approach.
No matter what we find, we’ll explain the results in plain language, answer your questions, and help you make an informed decision about the next steps.
Not Sure What's Causing Your Sewer Problems?
A camera inspection takes the guesswork out of diagnosing hidden sewer line issues so you can move forward with confidence.
What to Expect During Your Inspection
Our process is straightforward and designed to accurately diagnose your sewer line issue with as little disruption as possible.
Access Your Sewer Line
Whenever possible, we'll access your sewer line through an existing cleanout. If another access point is needed, we'll explain your options before getting started.
Prepare the Line for Inspection
If a blockage is preventing the camera from moving through the pipe, we may recommend drain cleaning or hydro jetting first to restore flow and ensure we get a clear view of the sewer line.
Inspect the Entire Line
A flexible, high-resolution camera travels through your sewer line while transmitting real-time video to our technician. As the camera moves through the pipe, we inspect it for blockages, damage, root intrusion, corrosion, and other hidden issues.
Pinpoint the Issue
If we discover damage or a blockage, specialized locating equipment allows us to identify its precise location above ground. This helps us recommend the most effective repair while avoiding unnecessary digging whenever possible.
Review the Findings Together
We'll walk you through what we found, explain your options, and answer any questions you have. If repairs are needed, we'll recommend the solution that's best for your home and, whenever possible, provide a digital copy of the inspection for your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a sewer camera inspection damage my pipes?
No. Sewer cameras are specifically designed to safely travel through your existing plumbing system without damaging your pipes. Our technicians use specialized equipment to inspect your sewer line while minimizing disruption to your home.
Do I need a camera inspection if my drain was already snaked?
Sometimes. Drain cleaning removes a blockage, but it doesn’t explain why it formed. If the problem keeps returning, a camera inspection can identify the underlying cause.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most inspections can be completed in about an hour, although timing may vary depending on your plumbing system and what we discover.
Will you show me what you found?
Yes. We’ll review the camera footage with you, explain what we’re seeing, answer your questions, and discuss your options if repairs are needed.
What happens if you find damage?
If we find damage, we’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing, explain what it means, and walk you through your repair options. Some issues can be resolved with a targeted sewer line repair, while others may benefit from trenchless sewer repair or, in more severe cases, a sewer line replacement. We’ll recommend the solution that’s best for your home without any pressure to move forward.
Can you inspect sewer lines before buying a home?
Absolutely. A sewer camera inspection is an excellent way to identify hidden sewer line problems before purchasing a property.
Is a sewer camera inspection worth it?
If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, slow drains, backups, or other ongoing sewer problems, a camera inspection can help identify the underlying cause before unnecessary repairs are made. An accurate diagnosis often saves homeowners time, money, and frustration in the long run.
