Who needs this

Who this is for

A camera inspection is the honest version of a sewer diagnosis: a camera travels the line and shows what is actually there, so the repair is planned from evidence instead of guesswork.

This service fits anyone buying a home with a sewer line, dealing with a recurring clog, or preparing for a repair that should not be based on a guess. It also fits the pre-sale check that protects both sides.

Common situations

When customers usually ask for this

  • Buying a home with an unknown sewer line

What affects scope

How the work is scoped

The scope depends on the line length and access. The camera shows the condition, and the report becomes the basis for the cleaning or repair plan. If a repair is needed, the camera is what proves it.

Getting ready

How to prepare

Schedule the inspection when the line is accessible and, ideally, before a major repair is quoted. For a home purchase, the inspection belongs on the same list as the general home inspection.

What to expect

How the visit works

The visit starts with the details you shared and a direct look at the line and the access. You get a straight answer about what is going on, what the options are, and what the next step should be.

For emergencies, the first visit is stabilization: stop the overflow, clear the blockage, restore function, and document. For scheduled work, the visit produces the diagnosis and the plan. Either way, you hear about changes before they happen, not after.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a camera inspection show?

It shows the inside of the line: clogs, cracks, roots, and the pipe material and condition.

Should I get one before a repair?

Yes. A repair quoted without a camera is a guess; the camera turns it into a plan.

Do you inspect lines for home buyers?

The service board lists camera inspections, and the listing photos show the inspection device. Call to confirm the arrangement.

Can I see the footage?

Yes. The findings are shared and explained, and the footage becomes the basis for the plan.
