You’re dealing with a sewer problem, but you don’t know what’s causing it. Is it tree roots? A collapsed pipe? Just a simple clog?

Our sewer camera inspection gives you the complete picture. High-definition video shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, where the problem is located, and how extensive the damage really is. No more guessing. No more paying for the same repair twice. When you know what you’re dealing with, you can make the right decision the first time. Whether that’s a simple cleaning, a targeted repair, or planning for a bigger fix down the road—you’ll have the facts you need to move forward with confidence.

When you call us, you’re getting local expertise backed by professional-grade equipment and transparent pricing.

Sewer Camera Inspection Process Kyburz

Simple Process, Clear Results
Our sewer camera inspection process is straightforward and non-invasive. First, we locate the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout, but sometimes through a toilet or vent stack if needed. We’ll explain what we’re doing before we start. Next, we insert a high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable into your sewer line. The camera travels through your pipes, transmitting real-time video to our monitor. You can watch along with us as we inspect every section of your system. As we move through the line, we identify any problems—blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe misalignment, or structural damage. We note the exact location and severity of each issue. When the inspection is complete, you’ll have a clear understanding of your sewer system’s condition and what, if anything, needs to be addressed.

What You Get With Our Inspection
Our sewer camera inspection includes a complete video examination of your sewer line from your home to the property line. We use professional-grade equipment with high-definition cameras and powerful LED lights that provide crystal-clear images even in the darkest pipes. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of our findings during the inspection, plus documentation of any issues we discover. If we find problems, we’ll explain your options—from simple cleaning to more involved repairs—with upfront pricing for any recommended work. For Kyburz properties, this service is especially valuable given the age of most homes and the challenging mountain environment. Tree roots are particularly aggressive in this area, and older pipe materials common in homes from the 1940s and 50s are more susceptible to damage. Our inspection helps you stay ahead of problems before they become expensive emergencies.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Kyburz?

Our sewer camera inspection pricing is straightforward and competitive for the Kyburz area. The cost depends primarily on access—if we can use an existing cleanout, the inspection typically runs around $200-300 for a residential property. If we need to access through a toilet or vent stack, expect to pay closer to $300-400. We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so there are no surprises. Many of our customers tell us our final bill actually comes in lower than our initial estimate. We believe in transparent pricing because we know you’re making important decisions about your property, and you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for. Keep in mind that this investment can save you thousands down the road. A sewer line replacement in Kyburz can easily cost $10,000-15,000 or more, especially given the challenges of working in a remote mountain location.
In Kyburz, where most homes were built in the 1940s and 50s, we commonly find several types of sewer line issues. Tree root intrusion is probably the most frequent problem—the forest environment means aggressive root systems that seek out moisture in your pipes and can cause significant blockages or even break pipes completely. We also see deterioration in older pipe materials like clay tiles or cast iron that were commonly used decades ago. These materials can crack, collapse, or develop misaligned joints over time. Sediment buildup is another issue, especially in properties that aren’t used year-round. The camera inspection shows us exactly what we’re dealing with, where the problems are located, and how extensive the damage is. This information is crucial for determining whether you need a simple cleaning, targeted repairs, or if it’s time to plan for pipe replacement.
For Kyburz properties, we typically recommend sewer camera inspections every 18-24 months, especially for homes built before 1960. The mountain environment and aging infrastructure make regular monitoring particularly important. If your property is a vacation home that sits empty for months at a time, annual inspections make even more sense. Unused systems can develop problems that go unnoticed until they become major issues. Tree roots don’t stop growing just because you’re not there. For properties with large trees nearby, or if you’ve had previous sewer problems, you might want to inspect more frequently. The cost of regular inspections is minimal compared to dealing with a sewer emergency in a remote location like Kyburz, where service calls can be expensive and parts may take longer to obtain.
Yes, we provide sewer camera inspections year-round in Kyburz, including during winter months. The inspection process happens inside your pipes, so snow and cold temperatures don’t affect the camera equipment or our ability to get clear video footage. However, winter conditions can sometimes make accessing outdoor cleanouts more challenging if they’re buried under snow. In those cases, we may need to access your sewer line through an indoor entry point, like removing a toilet temporarily. We’ll discuss the best approach based on current conditions and your property’s setup. Winter is actually a smart time for sewer inspections in mountain properties. Cold weather can exacerbate existing problems, and you want to identify potential issues before they become frozen pipe emergencies. Plus, if we do find problems, it’s better to address them before spring thaw potentially makes things worse.
If we discover significant damage during the inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found and walk you through your options. The video footage shows you the same thing we’re seeing, so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed. For major issues like collapsed pipes or extensive root damage, you typically have several choices: spot repairs for localized problems, pipe lining for structural issues that don’t require full excavation, or complete pipe replacement for systems that are beyond repair. We’ll provide upfront pricing for each option so you can choose what makes the most sense for your situation and budget. The good news is that knowing exactly what’s wrong eliminates guesswork and prevents you from paying for repairs that won’t actually solve the problem. Many of our customers tell us they wish they’d done the camera inspection sooner because it would have saved them money on ineffective repairs they tried first.
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout El Dorado County, including Kyburz. Sewer emergencies don’t wait for convenient business hours, and we understand that getting help in a remote mountain location can be challenging. Emergency sewer camera inspections are particularly valuable because they quickly identify the source of the problem, allowing us to recommend the most effective solution right away. Instead of spending time and money on trial-and-error approaches, the camera shows us exactly what we’re dealing with so we can fix it efficiently. Keep in mind that emergency service calls do carry additional charges, but many customers find that the camera inspection actually saves them money overall by eliminating unnecessary work and getting to the right solution faster. When you’re dealing with sewage backing up into your home, speed and accuracy are worth the investment.
