Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Clear Answers in Under Two Hours

We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through an existing cleanout or, if needed, by temporarily removing a toilet. No digging, no guessing about where to start. Our waterproof camera travels through your entire sewer system, sending live HD video back to our monitor. You can watch along as we identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe damage. The camera’s built-in transmitter pinpoints exactly where problems are located underground. Within 24 hours, you receive a detailed report with video footage and clear recommendations. If repairs are needed, we show you exactly what’s wrong and explain your options. If everything looks good, you have peace of mind and documentation for future reference.

Everything You Need for Accurate Diagnosis

Your sewer camera inspection includes high-definition video recording of your entire sewer line, real-time problem identification, and precise location mapping of any issues we discover. We inspect for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe misalignment, and structural damage. In Kelsey’s older neighborhoods, we commonly find clay pipe sections where roots have entered at joint connections, or cast iron pipes showing signs of corrosion. Our cameras easily navigate the typical 50-100 foot residential sewer lines common in the area, providing complete coverage from your home to the street connection. You receive digital copies of all video footage, a written report explaining our findings, and specific recommendations for any needed repairs. If we find problems, we provide cost estimates and explain whether issues need immediate attention or can be monitored over time.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Kelsey?

Sewer camera inspection costs in the Kelsey area typically range from $275 to $500, depending on your sewer line length and accessibility. Most residential inspections fall around $350 for a standard home. The final cost depends on whether we can access your sewer through an existing cleanout or need to remove a toilet, and how far the camera needs to travel. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. This investment often saves thousands by catching problems early or helping you avoid unnecessary repairs. Many of our customers say it’s the best money they’ve spent on home maintenance.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find?

Our cameras detect blockages from grease buildup, tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, misaligned joints, and corrosion damage. We also spot “bellies” where pipes have sagged and collect debris. In Kelsey’s established neighborhoods, we frequently find tree roots that have grown into older clay pipe joints, or cast iron pipes showing rust and deterioration. The camera shows us exactly where these problems are located and how severe they’ve become. We can also identify foreign objects, excessive mineral buildup, or structural damage from ground settling. The high-definition footage reveals issues that would be impossible to detect any other way without expensive excavation.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Most sewer camera inspections take 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your sewer line length and what we discover. Simple inspections on shorter lines with easy access are usually completed in under an hour. If we find problems that need closer examination or if your sewer system is more complex, the inspection may take longer. We take the time needed to thoroughly document everything so you get complete information. You’ll receive your detailed report with video footage within 24 hours. If urgent repairs are needed, we can often provide immediate recommendations and start work the same day if you choose to proceed.

When should I get a sewer camera inspection?

Schedule an inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors. These are often signs of developing problems that camera inspection can pinpoint before they become emergencies. We also recommend inspections before buying a home, especially older properties or those with large trees nearby. Many homeowners schedule routine inspections every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance, particularly if they’ve had previous sewer issues. If a plumber has recommended expensive sewer repairs, get an independent camera inspection first. This ensures you’re only paying for repairs you actually need and helps you understand exactly what’s wrong with your system.

Will the camera inspection damage my pipes?

No, sewer camera inspections are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. Our cameras are designed specifically for sewer lines and navigate easily through standard residential plumbing without causing any harm. The flexible cable and waterproof camera head are smaller than typical drain cleaning equipment, so they move smoothly through pipes without scraping or applying pressure to pipe walls. Even fragile older pipes handle the inspection process without problems. This is one of the biggest advantages of camera inspection over traditional diagnostic methods—we can see everything inside your sewer system without any risk to your existing plumbing or property.

Do you provide the video footage after inspection?

Yes, you receive digital copies of the complete video footage along with a detailed written report explaining our findings. The video includes narration explaining what we’re seeing as the camera moves through your sewer line. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or future reference when planning repairs. You can review the footage yourself to understand exactly what’s happening in your sewer system. We also provide still images of key problem areas and mark footage timestamps for easy reference. If you need additional copies or different formats for contractors or insurance purposes, we’re happy to provide them at no extra charge.
