What is a sewer or drain camera inspection?

It’s a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses a waterproof camera to show what’s going on inside your drain or sewer pipes in real time. It helps pinpoint problems like clogs, cracks, roots, or collapses — without any digging or guesswork.

If you’re experiencing slow drains, sewer odors, recurring backups, or planning a remodel, a camera inspection is the first step. It’s also smart to inspect if your home is 30+ years old, before buying or selling, or after major drain issues.

Most inspections take just 30 to 60 minutes. It depends on the access point and the length of the line we’re inspecting. We record footage and show you exactly what we find — with clear, honest recommendations.

Not directly. It’s a diagnostic service that shows us where and what the issue is. Based on what we find, we may recommend hydro jetting, a spot repair, or full pipe replacement — but we won’t do any digging without your approval.

Absolutely. A camera inspection helps avoid unnecessary repairs by showing the exact cause and location of the issue. It can save you time, money, and frustration — especially if you’re planning a remodel or dealing with recurring issues.

Yes — we can provide video or still images from your inspection for your records. These are useful for insurance, remodeling, or real estate documentation and give you peace of mind about the next steps.
