Professional Sewer Line Inspection Rancho Cordova

Know Exactly What You're Dealing With

Your sewer problems aren’t going away on their own. But you shouldn’t have to tear up your yard to figure out what’s wrong either. A sewer camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes—where the problem is, how serious it is, and what it’ll actually take to fix it. No more throwing money at symptoms while the real issue gets worse. You get a clear diagnosis in under an hour, usually for a fraction of what you’d spend on emergency repairs later. Most Rancho Cordova homeowners are surprised how much stress this simple inspection eliminates.

Sewer Line Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or drain opening. Then we feed a waterproof, high-definition camera through your pipes on a flexible cable. You watch the live video feed with us as we navigate through your system. The camera shows us cracks, blockages, root intrusion, pipe condition, and the exact location of any problems. We can even record the footage for your records. The whole process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what needs attention now, and what you can monitor for later. No surprises, no pressure—just the information you need to make smart decisions about your plumbing.

What Your Inspection Includes

Your sewer camera inspection covers your entire main line from your home to the street connection. We check for common Rancho Cordova issues like root intrusion from mature trees, settling damage from clay soil, and deterioration in older cast iron or clay pipes. Many homes in established Rancho Cordova neighborhoods deal with similar challenges. The area’s mature landscaping means tree roots naturally seek out water sources. Clay soil can shift and crack rigid pipes. And homes built before 1990 often have pipe materials that are reaching the end of their useful life. We document everything we find with precise footage measurements, so if repairs are needed, there’s no guesswork about where to dig. This saves you money and protects your landscaping. You’ll also get our professional assessment of your system’s overall condition and any maintenance recommendations to prevent future problems.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Rancho Cordova?

Most sewer camera inspections in Rancho Cordova cost between $150 and $500, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer line. At Murray Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing before we start—no surprise fees or diagnostic charges. The investment typically pays for itself by preventing expensive emergency repairs. Finding a small crack early might cost a few hundred dollars to fix, but waiting until it becomes a major break could mean thousands in damage to your property and landscaping. We often apply the inspection cost toward any repair work if you choose to move forward with us. This makes the inspection essentially free when you need repairs anyway.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection detect?

Our cameras identify virtually every common sewer line problem: tree root intrusion, pipe cracks or breaks, blockages from grease or debris, collapsed sections, bellied pipes, and joint separations. We can also assess pipe material and overall condition. In Rancho Cordova’s older neighborhoods, we frequently find issues related to aging infrastructure. Clay pipes from the 1970s often develop cracks that allow roots to enter. Cast iron pipes may show corrosion or scaling. Even newer PVC installations can have problems if they weren’t installed properly. The camera shows us exactly where problems are located using precise footage measurements. This eliminates guesswork and ensures any repairs target the actual problem areas, not just symptoms.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Most residential sewer camera inspections take 30 to 60 minutes to complete. The exact time depends on your sewer line length, accessibility, and what we discover during the inspection. We don’t rush the process because accuracy matters more than speed. We carefully examine your entire system, document any issues we find, and explain everything as we go. You’re welcome to watch the live video feed and ask questions throughout the inspection. If we find problems that need immediate attention, we can often provide repair estimates on the spot. This saves you time and helps you make informed decisions about your plumbing system.

Do you need to dig up my yard for the inspection?

No digging required for the inspection itself. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts, drain openings, or plumbing fixtures. The camera travels through your pipes internally, so your landscaping stays intact. This non-invasive approach is one of the biggest advantages of camera inspections. You get complete information about your sewer line condition without any property damage or restoration costs. If repairs are needed after the inspection, we can pinpoint exactly where to work. This minimizes any necessary excavation and protects as much of your yard as possible. Many repairs can even be completed using trenchless methods that require little to no digging.

When should I get a sewer camera inspection?

Schedule an inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, frequent backups, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that are easier and cheaper to fix when caught early. We also recommend inspections for Rancho Cordova homes built before 1990, especially if you haven’t had your sewer line evaluated recently. Preventive inspections help you plan for maintenance and avoid emergency situations. If you’re buying a home, a sewer inspection protects your investment. Standard home inspections don’t always include sewer lines, but problems here can be expensive. Better to know before you buy than discover issues after closing.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

We explain exactly what we found, show you the video evidence, and discuss your options. Not every problem requires immediate action—some issues can be monitored and addressed during routine maintenance. For problems that do need attention, we provide clear repair recommendations and upfront pricing. We never pressure you to make quick decisions. Take time to consider your options and get additional opinions if you want. Our goal is giving you the information you need to make smart decisions about your plumbing system. Whether that means immediate repairs, scheduled maintenance, or simply monitoring the situation, we help you understand what makes sense for your specific situation and budget.
