The Uses of Sewer Video Inspection
There are a number of reasons why you might opt for a sewer video inspection service. The most common ones being to locate sewer lines before digging or repairs and to find blockages or clogs that are impeding the way your system should work. Other reasons for a sewer video inspection include figuring out what your pipes are made of (PVC, cast iron, etc.,) to find where the connections of pipes are, and to find the flow of your drains.
Using a camera in your sewage pipes will not detect leaks. This process can help spot them with the help of additional tools, but not on its own.

Expert Services from Experienced Plumbers
While you can certainly buy or rent a sewer video inspection camera, these are rarely long enough to see far into your pipes to spot the problem. If the camera does happen to be long enough, it probably won’t be self-righting or self-focusing which means you will have blurry, unfocused images. These images won’t be clear enough to really tell you what or where the problem is. Opting to allow us to scope out your sewer pipes will take the guesswork out of the project and allow us to see how to fix the problem.
When we inspect your sewer, we will walk you through the pipes and be able to explain what is on the screen. After the inspection, we can discuss what options are available to fix any problem that we may have encountered.
Many companies won’t encourage potential customers to check reviews but we do the opposite! See why our customers love us!

Benefits of Video Camera Pipe Inspection
Do you suspect there’s an issue with your sewer line? Sewer video camera inspections can help you accurately diagnose if there is a problem - and where it is located.
There are many benefits to these services, including:
- They are non-invasive. Before video inspections, professionals needed to dig up your yard to determine if there was an issue with your pipes, and locate the problem. Now, technicians can simply put a camera through your line and identify issues without disrupting your yard.
- They can detect numerous problems. Camera inspections allow professionals to see any and all issues with your line - no matter how far down your line it is. This can include clogs, cracks, and even holes.
- They can detect tree roots. These services will show if there are issues with roots infiltrating your line. If not detected, these roots can cause major problems later.
- They can prevent property damage. Not catching issues with your sewer line quickly can lead to massive damage to your home and property. Performing sewer video inspection services can help you identify problems and get them repaired before they cause damage.
What Problems Can a Sewer Camera Identify?
When you have a clog in your sewer line, or you suspect there is a crack or another problem with it, it’s essential to schedule a sewer camera inspection.
These services can detect an array of problems in your line, including:
- Clogs: It can determine how large the clog is, and exactly where it is located in your system.
- Tree roots: Tree root infiltration can be common in pipes made of cast iron, clay, or other porous materials.
