When Should You Opt for a Sewer Line Inspection
Scheduling a camera inspection at the right time can prevent larger repairs and reduce repeat service calls.
Frequent Drain Clogs And Slow Drains
Repeated clogs and slow drains usually mean there is a blockage or narrowing deeper in the line. If left alone, the problem can worsen into backups or pipe damage. A camera inspection pinpoints the cause so we can recommend the most effective drain cleaning and repair.
Unexplained Odors Or Sewage Backups
Sewer odours, gurgling sounds, and indoor backups often point to a main line issue. These symptoms can escalate quickly and create property damage and health risks. A camera inspection helps locate the blockage or visible pipe damage without tearing up floors or landscaping.
Before Buying, Selling, Or Renovating A Property
A pre-purchase inspection can uncover hidden sewer problems before you commit to a home. Renovations can also shift usage patterns and expose weak points in older lines. A camera inspection verifies pipe condition so you can plan work with fewer surprises.
Routine Maintenance For Older And High-Risk Properties
Older sewer lines and heavily used properties face a higher risk of corrosion, root intrusion, and deterioration. Small issues can grow into emergencies when ignored.
Periodic camera inspections help catch early warning signs and reduce the chance of a sudden backup.
If you are not sure whether an inspection is the right next step, contact a plumber, and we will recommend the most practical option based on your symptoms and property type.
Limits Of Video Sewer Inspection
A sewer camera inspection is highly effective for finding internal line problems, but it has limits. Here is what to expect.
Access Limits In Complex Pipe Layouts
Some properties do not have an accessible cleanout, and some lines include tight bends that restrict camera travel. In older or non-standard layouts, the camera may not reach every section. We use the best available access point and explain any areas we cannot fully view.
Detection Limits For Pipe Damage
A camera shows the inside of the pipe, not what is happening outside the pipe wall. It can confirm internal cracks, root intrusion, and blockages, but it cannot directly measure soil movement or external leakage into the ground. If water, debris, or a heavy blockage blocks the lens, we will document what is not visible.
Material And Diagnosis Challenges
Cameras help identify pipe material, joint condition, and visible surface damage. Thick scale, grease, or dense debris can hide details and make diagnosis less precise. When additional methods are needed, we will explain why and what changes are needed in the repair plan.

Our Process For Sewer Camera Inspection
We keep the inspection simple and focused so you get clear answers quickly.
Safe Camera Entry
We choose the safest access point, usually a cleanout or drain opening, and guide the waterproof camera through the line. This captures clear footage without excavation.
Live Review and Clear Explanation
We watch the live feed during the inspection and note issues like root intrusion, blockages, cracks, or collapsed sections. Afterward, we explain what we found in plain language and outline realistic next steps.
Digital Report With Key Images
You receive a digital report with images from the inspection and a summary of the findings. This helps you understand the condition of the line and supports decisions for repairs, cleaning, or property transactions.
Repair or Cleaning Plan
If the inspection shows a problem, we recommend targeted solutions based on what the camera confirms, including hydro jetting for heavy build-up. You get clear options and what each option is meant to fix.
