Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Answers

We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line, usually through an existing cleanout. If your home doesn’t have one, we’ll find the least disruptive way to access your system. Next, we insert a high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable into your sewer line. As the camera moves through your pipes, it transmits real-time video to our monitor. You’re welcome to watch along as we inspect every section. The camera shows us everything – from minor buildup to major cracks, root intrusions, or collapsed sections. We’ll explain what you’re seeing and what it means for your plumbing system. Most inspections take about an hour, and you’ll leave with a complete understanding of your sewer line’s condition.

Our sewer camera inspection includes the full video inspection, a detailed explanation of our findings, and recommendations for any necessary repairs. You’ll also receive a copy of the inspection video for your records. In Westlake Village, we see common issues like mineral buildup from the local water supply and root intrusions from the beautiful mature trees that make this community so desirable. The good news is that early detection means these problems can often be resolved without major excavation. We also provide precise location mapping when we find problems, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work. This saves time, money, and protects your landscaping from unnecessary digging.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Westlake Village?

Sewer camera inspection costs in the Westlake Village area typically range from $270 to $500, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer system. Most residential inspections fall around $350 for a standard single-family home. The investment is minimal compared to the potential cost of emergency repairs. A typical sewer line replacement can cost $20,000 or more, while catching problems early through inspection often means repairs in the hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden diagnostic fees – the price we quote is what you pay.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection detect?

Our high-definition cameras can identify virtually any issue inside your sewer lines. We commonly find tree root intrusions, which are especially prevalent in Westlake Village due to the mature landscaping. The camera also reveals cracks, breaks, collapsed sections, and blockages from grease or debris buildup. In this area, we frequently see mineral scale buildup from the local water supply, which can restrict flow over time. The camera can measure the extent of buildup and help determine the best cleaning approach. We can also spot pipe misalignment, joint separation, and even foreign objects that might have been flushed down drains.

How often should I have my sewer lines inspected?

For most Westlake Village homes, we recommend sewer camera inspections every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance. However, if your home is older than 20 years or you have large trees on your property, annual inspections are a smart investment. You should also consider an inspection if you’re experiencing recurring drain problems, slow drainage throughout the house, or sewage odors. If you’re buying a home in the area, a pre-purchase sewer inspection can reveal hidden problems that could cost thousands later. Many of our customers find that regular inspections actually save them money by catching small issues before they become major headaches.

Will the inspection damage my property or landscaping?

One of the biggest advantages of camera inspection is that it’s completely non-invasive. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts or other access points – no digging required. Your beautiful Westlake Village landscaping stays intact. The flexible camera cable is designed to navigate through your pipes without causing any damage to the system itself. The entire process is clean and contained. If we do find problems that require repair, we can often use trenchless methods that minimize excavation. This is especially important in your community where property values and curb appeal matter.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

If we discover issues during your inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found and provide clear recommendations for addressing the problems. You’ll see the video evidence yourself, so there’s no guesswork involved. For minor issues like small blockages, we can often resolve them immediately. For more significant problems, we’ll provide you with a detailed estimate for repairs and discuss your options. We never pressure you into immediate decisions – you’ll have time to consider your choices. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for your home and budget.

Can you inspect my sewer lines if I don't have a cleanout?

Yes, we can still perform a thorough inspection even without a cleanout. We have several access methods available, including temporary toilet removal or accessing through vent stacks. Our experienced technicians will choose the least disruptive method for your specific situation. If your home doesn’t have a cleanout, we might recommend installing one during the inspection process. Having a cleanout makes future maintenance much easier and less expensive. It’s a small investment that pays dividends over time, especially for preventive care. We’ll discuss all options with you before beginning any work, so you know exactly what to expect.
