Sewer Camera Inspection Process Richmond Grove

Simple Process, Clear Answers

We start by locating your sewer cleanout or access point. If you don’t have one that’s easily accessible, we’ll work through existing plumbing fixtures to reach your main line. Our waterproof, high-definition camera travels through your pipes on a flexible cable, sending live video to our monitor. You can watch alongside us as we inspect every section from your home to the street connection. The camera shows us blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe materials, and overall condition. We mark any problem areas with precise location data, so if repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work. Most inspections take about an hour, and you leave with a complete understanding of your sewer system’s health.

Richmond Grove Sewer Lateral Compliance

Required for Property Sales and Peace of Mind

Richmond Grove property owners are responsible for their sewer lateral lines from the foundation to the street connection. When you’re buying or selling property, you need a certificate of sewer lateral compliance—and that requires a professional camera inspection. Our inspection meets all local requirements and provides the documentation you need for property transfers. But even if you’re not selling, regular inspections protect your investment by catching problems before they become expensive emergencies. Richmond Grove’s mature trees and aging infrastructure make sewer line issues common. Tree roots seek out water sources and can infiltrate even small cracks in your pipes. Clay and cast iron lines, common in older neighborhoods, are particularly vulnerable to root intrusion and deterioration. Our camera inspection reveals these issues before they cause backups, overflows, or property damage.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Richmond Grove?

Most residential sewer camera inspections in Richmond Grove cost between $200-500, depending on the length and accessibility of your sewer line. At Murray Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden diagnostic fees. The inspection typically takes about an hour and includes real-time video footage that you can watch with us. If we find problems, we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and provide transparent repair estimates. Many homeowners find that spending a few hundred dollars on inspection saves thousands in emergency repairs later. For property sales, this inspection is required for sewer lateral compliance certificates, making it a necessary investment rather than an optional service.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find in my pipes?

Our camera inspection reveals blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe deterioration, and structural damage throughout your sewer line. We can see grease buildup, debris accumulation, and foreign objects that shouldn’t be in your pipes. Tree root intrusion is particularly common in Richmond Grove due to mature landscaping. Roots can grow through small cracks and eventually cause major blockages or pipe collapse. We also identify aging pipe materials like clay or cast iron that may be nearing replacement time. The camera shows us exactly where problems are located underground, so repairs can be targeted and efficient. Instead of digging up your entire yard looking for issues, we pinpoint the exact spots that need attention.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected with a camera?

Most plumbing professionals recommend sewer camera inspections every 1-2 years for preventive maintenance, especially in older homes or properties with large trees nearby. Richmond Grove’s mature trees and aging infrastructure make regular inspections particularly valuable. If you’re experiencing slow drains, occasional backups, or unexplained odors, don’t wait for your regular inspection schedule. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that are easier and cheaper to fix when caught early. For new property purchases, always get a sewer inspection regardless of the home’s age. Previous owners may not have been aware of developing issues, and you don’t want to inherit expensive sewer problems after closing.

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

Yes, we can perform sewer camera inspections even without an accessible cleanout. We can access your sewer line through existing fixtures like toilets, floor drains, or vent stacks, though this may add some time to the process. If your home doesn’t have a cleanout or the existing one is buried or damaged, we can discuss installing a new cleanout for easier future access. This is often a worthwhile investment that makes future inspections and maintenance much more convenient and cost-effective. Our experienced technicians are skilled at working with various access points and can usually find a way to inspect your system without major disruption to your home or property.

What happens if the camera inspection finds problems in my sewer line?

When we find problems during the inspection, we explain exactly what we’re seeing and provide you with repair options and transparent pricing. The camera footage helps us determine whether issues need immediate attention or can be monitored and addressed during planned maintenance. Minor problems like small root intrusions or partial blockages can often be cleared with hydro jetting or mechanical cleaning. More serious issues like cracked or collapsed pipes may require targeted repairs or pipe lining solutions. Because we know the exact location and extent of any problems, we can provide accurate repair estimates and avoid unnecessary work. You’ll never be surprised by hidden issues or inflated repair costs because you’ve seen the evidence yourself.

Do I need a sewer camera inspection before buying a home in Richmond Grove?

Absolutely. A sewer camera inspection should be part of any home purchase in Richmond Grove, especially for homes over 20 years old. This area’s mature trees and aging sewer infrastructure make hidden problems common, and you don’t want to inherit expensive sewer repairs. The inspection reveals issues that aren’t visible during standard home inspections, like root intrusion, pipe deterioration, or partial blockages that could become major problems. Many real estate transactions include sewer inspection contingencies, and sellers may be willing to address discovered issues before closing. Even if the inspection finds problems, you’ll have accurate information to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments. Spending a few hundred dollars on inspection can save you thousands in unexpected sewer repairs after you move in.
