FAQs
How does a sewer camera inspection work?
During a sewer camera inspection, we insert a small, high-resolution waterproof camera into your drain or sewer line. The camera transmits live video footage to a monitor. This process is fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate.
When do I need a drain camera inspection?
You may need a camera inspection if you’re experiencing recurring clogs, slow drains, backups, or unexplained plumbing issues. It’s also recommended before purchasing a home or after major plumbing problems to ensure your sewer line is in good condition.
Can a camera inspection find tree roots?
Yes. Camera inspections are one of the most effective ways to detect tree root intrusion. The camera allows us to see roots growing inside your sewer line and determine the severity of the blockage so we can recommend the right solution.
How often should you get your sewer line scoped?
For most homes, a sewer line inspection isn’t needed regularly unless you’re experiencing issues. If your home is older, surrounded by large trees, or has a history of plumbing problems, periodic inspections can help prevent unexpected failures.
