How Sewer Camera Inspections Help Find Drain Problems

A sewer camera replaces assumption with footage. A waterproof camera head on a flexible reel travels through the line and streams video to a monitor, showing the condition of the pipe from the inside.

What it reveals: where a blockage sits and how far down the line, root intrusion at joints, cracks and fractures, collapsed sections, grease and scale build-up, foreign objects, offset joints, and bellies where water stands in a sagging run.

It is worth booking when a drain has been cleared more than once in a year, after any sewer backup, when several fixtures act up together, or before buying a home with an older sewer lateral.

The process is straightforward. We find an access point, clear the line enough for the camera to travel if needed, feed the camera through while watching the footage, and use a locator to mark the depth and ground position of any defect. Then we review what was found with you before anyone talks about repairs.
