See What Is Inside Your Pipes
A sewer camera inspection threads an HD camera through your drain or sewer line so you can see the interior of your own pipes — the condition of the walls, any blockages, and the exact location of a problem. There is no guesswork, no opening walls to investigate. You watch the footage live, keep a recording, and receive a written diagnosis before any repair work begins.
It is the only reliable way to know whether a cleaning will solve the problem or whether something structural needs to be addressed.
When a Camera Inspection Makes Sense
- ✓Before buying a home — the only way to know the actual condition of the sewer line you are inheriting
- ✓After a sewage backup — to understand the root cause, not just clear the symptom
- ✓Before scheduling a repair — to confirm location, length, and severity
- ✓When drain cleanings have not held — to find out why
- ✓Routine check on a home over 15 years old that has never had one
What We Look For
Cracks and fractures
From hairline stress fractures to full breaks in the pipe wall.
Root intrusion
Roots entering through joints or cracks, ranging from fine tendrils to dense masses.
Offset joints
Pipe sections shifted out of alignment, common in older neighborhoods with settling soil.
Bellying
Low spots where the pipe has dipped, collecting debris and standing water over time.
Buildup
Grease, mineral scale, or organic material narrowing the pipe's usable interior diameter.
Material condition
Whether clay, cast iron, or plastic is aging as expected or showing signs of early failure.
You Own the Footage
Every inspection comes with a recording you keep. Use it for a home sale disclosure, as evidence for an insurance claim, or simply as documentation of your pipe's condition before and after a repair. The footage belongs to you the moment the camera comes out of the ground.

Common questions about camera inspection
How far does the camera go?
Standard residential inspections cover from the clean-out to the city main — typically 75 to 100 feet. Longer runs require additional access points, which we can set up on the same visit.

No. The camera enters through an existing clean-out access point or through a toilet or clean drain. No digging, no wall openings, no damage to your property.
How long does it take?
A single-run residential inspection takes about 45 minutes to an hour, including setup, the full run, and reviewing the footage with you on-site.
What pipe types can you inspect?
Our cameras are sized for 2-inch through 10-inch diameter pipe and work in ABS plastic, PVC, cast iron, clay tile, and Orangeburg.
