WHAT’S HIDING INSIDE THE SEWER LINE?

Many sewer line defects develop underground with little or no visible indication at the property. A professional sewer camera inspection allows us to visually examine accessible portions of the line and identify conditions such as root intrusion, standing water, offsets, deterioration and damaged piping before they develop into more serious drainage problems.

ROOT INTRUSION

Tree and plant roots can enter sewer lines through joints, cracks and damaged areas, restricting flow and potentially contributing to backups or further pipe damage.

BELLY / STANDING WATER

Low areas or improper slope in a sewer line can allow water and waste to collect inside the pipe. Standing water may indicate a belly or drainage condition that deserves further evaluation.

OFFSETS & DAMAGED PIPE

Misaligned joints, cracks, deterioration and other visible pipe damage can restrict flow or allow soil and roots to enter the sewer line. A camera inspection can help document these conditions and their approximate location.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR DURING A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION

During the inspection, the camera is advanced through accessible portions of the sewer line while the interior of the piping is viewed in real time. We look for visible conditions that may restrict flow, contribute to backups, indicate deterioration or warrant further evaluation or repair.

HOW A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION WORKS

We begin at an accessible sewer cleanout or other appropriate entry point and carefully advance the camera through the accessible piping. The sewer line is viewed in real time while significant conditions are documented, including their approximate distance from the access point when possible.

01 LOCATE THE CLEANOUT

We begin by locating an accessible sewer cleanout or other appropriate entry point. The access point and visible conditions are documented before the camera is introduced into the sewer line.

02 ADVANCE THE CAMERA

The camera is carefully advanced through the accessible sewer line while the pipe interior is viewed in real time. We document significant conditions and record their approximate distance from the access point when possible.

03 DOCUMENT THE FINDINGS

Significant findings are documented with photographs and video when appropriate. The completed report helps you understand the observed condition of the accessible sewer line and determine whether further evaluation or repair is recommended.

WHY A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION MATTERS

Sewer lines are largely concealed underground, and significant problems may exist without obvious symptoms inside the property. A sewer camera inspection can provide valuable information before purchasing a home, when evaluating recurring drainage concerns, or when assessing the condition of an aging sewer line.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

A sewer line repair or replacement can become a significant expense. Identifying visible concerns before you purchase gives you information that can help you make a more informed decision about the property.

AVOID UNEXPECTED REPAIRS

Sewer problems are often hidden until drainage issues, backups or other symptoms appear. A camera inspection can reveal visible conditions that may warrant repair, maintenance or further evaluation.

KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY

For home buyers, a sewer camera inspection provides additional information about an important system that cannot be fully evaluated from the surface. Understanding the observed condition can help you move forward with greater confidence.

KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR SEWER LINE

Whether you're buying a mountain home, maintaining your property or investigating a recurring drainage problem, a professional sewer camera inspection can help you better understand the visible condition of the accessible sewer line before a hidden problem becomes a costly surprise.
