When drains keep backing up or you are buying an older home, guessing about the sewer line can get expensive. A camera inspection sends a waterproof camera through the line from a cleanout or roof vent and shows roots, cracks, sags, grease buildup and separated joints. A locator on the camera head lets us mark the depth and location of a problem from above ground. We walk you through what the footage shows, what is normal for the pipe's age and what needs attention. The inspection is also a good check after a line has been cleaned or repaired.

Sewer camera inspection: common questions
Can I get a copy of the video?
Many inspections can be recorded. Ask when you schedule about how the footage can be shared.
Do I need a camera inspection before buying a home?
It is worth considering for older homes or properties with large trees, since a standard home inspection usually does not look inside the sewer line.
