You can't fix what you can't see — and for years, diagnosing sewer problems meant digging blind. A sewer camera inspection changed that, letting plumbers see inside your pipes without excavation.
How it works
A plumber feeds a flexible cable with a high-resolution waterproof camera through your sewer line. A monitor shows a live view of the pipe's interior, revealing exactly what and where the problem is.
What it reveals
- Root intrusion breaking into the line
- Cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections
- 'Bellies' where the pipe sags and collects debris
- Grease and scale buildup
- Blockages and their exact location
- The pipe material and overall condition
When you need one
Get a camera inspection if you have recurring backups, are buying an older home, have mature trees near the sewer line, or before investing in any sewer repair. It ensures you fix the actual problem instead of guessing.
Why it saves money
Knowing exactly where and what the problem is means targeted, minimal-dig repairs instead of exploratory excavation. It's one of the best diagnostic values in plumbing.
