Frequently Asked Questions
What does a sewer camera inspection show?
The camera reveals cracks, breaks, root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe sag (bellies), offset joints, and blockages. It provides a clear view of the pipe interior condition.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most residential sewer camera inspections are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of the line and accessibility of the cleanout.
Can the camera find the exact location of a problem underground?
Yes. The camera head has a built-in transmitter. We use a surface locator above ground to detect the signal, marking the exact spot and depth of the issue.
Should I get a sewer camera inspection before buying a home?
It is highly recommended. A camera inspection can reveal hidden sewer line problems that could cost thousands to repair after purchase. It provides valuable peace of mind.
Will the camera work if the pipe is completely blocked?
If the pipe is fully blocked, we may need to clear a path first with a drain snake or hydro jetting, then inspect to identify the underlying cause of the recurring blockage.
