Sewer Camera Inspection Process Pleasant Valley

Simple, Straightforward, No Surprises

We start by locating your main sewer cleanout—usually found near your home’s foundation or in your yard. If there’s no accessible cleanout, we can work through other access points. Next, we feed a waterproof, high-definition camera through your sewer line. The camera is attached to a flexible cable that navigates all the twists and turns in your pipes, from 2 to 36 inches in diameter. You’ll watch the live video feed with us, seeing exactly what we see. We’ll explain what you’re looking at, point out any issues, and answer your questions in real-time. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics—just honest information about your sewer system’s condition.

What's Included Pleasant Valley Inspection

Complete Assessment, Clear Answers

Your sewer camera inspection includes a thorough examination of your entire accessible sewer line. We’ll identify any blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, or areas of concern. Pleasant Valley’s mature trees and 40-year-old infrastructure create specific challenges. Tree roots naturally seek out the nutrient-rich environment inside sewer pipes, often entering through small cracks or loose joints. Our cameras can spot these issues before they cause major blockages. We’ll also check for common problems in homes from the 1980s: settling that creates low spots where waste collects, aging pipe materials that may be deteriorating, and connections that may have loosened over time. You’ll get honest recommendations about what needs attention now versus what you can monitor for the future.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Pleasant Valley?

Most sewer camera inspections in Pleasant Valley cost between $250-$500, depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility. We provide free estimates so you’ll know the exact cost upfront. The investment makes sense when you consider that major sewer repairs can cost thousands of dollars. A camera inspection can identify problems early when they’re still manageable and less expensive to fix. For homes built in the 1980s like many in Pleasant Valley, regular inspections every few years can prevent costly surprises.

What problems can a sewer camera find in my pipes?

Our cameras can identify virtually any issue inside your sewer line: tree root intrusion, pipe cracks or breaks, blockages, corrosion, collapsed sections, and areas where pipes have separated at joints. In Pleasant Valley, we commonly find tree root problems due to the mature landscaping, and issues related to aging pipe materials from the 1980s construction era. Clay pipes, which were popular during that time, are particularly susceptible to root intrusion and cracking as they age. The camera can also spot “bellies” in the line—areas where the pipe has sagged and creates a low spot where waste collects and causes recurring backups.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Most residential sewer camera inspections take about 35 minutes from start to finish. This includes setup time, running the camera through your sewer line, and explaining what we find. Some factors can extend the time: if we need to locate a buried cleanout, if your sewer line is particularly long, or if we encounter blockages that require careful navigation. We’ll never rush through an inspection—you deserve to understand exactly what’s happening with your sewer system. The time investment is minimal compared to the peace of mind you’ll gain knowing the true condition of your pipes.

When should I get a sewer camera inspection done?

For Pleasant Valley homes built in the 1980s, we recommend sewer camera inspections every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance. You should also consider an inspection if you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors. If you’re buying or selling a home, a sewer inspection is crucial. Many Pleasant Valley properties have mature trees whose roots may have infiltrated the sewer lines over the decades. It’s better to know about these issues before they become your problem. Don’t wait for a complete backup to investigate. By then, you’re dealing with an emergency situation that’s more expensive and disruptive to resolve.

Can tree roots really damage my sewer line?

Absolutely, and it’s one of the most common issues we see in Pleasant Valley. Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients in sewer lines. They can enter through tiny cracks or loose joints, then grow into major blockages over time. What starts as a small root intrusion can eventually cause pipe breaks, complete blockages, and expensive repairs. Pleasant Valley’s mature landscaping makes this a particular concern for homeowners in the area. Our camera inspections can spot root intrusion early, when it’s still manageable. Sometimes a simple root cutting service can solve the problem. Wait too long, and you might be looking at pipe replacement.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

If we discover issues during your sewer camera inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found and give you honest recommendations about your options. Not every problem requires immediate action—some can be monitored and addressed during routine maintenance. For issues that do need attention, we’ll provide clear pricing and explain different repair approaches. Sometimes a simple drain cleaning or root cutting service solves the problem. Other situations might require pipe repair or replacement. We’ll never pressure you into unnecessary work. Our job is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for your home and budget. You can trust us to recommend only what’s truly needed.
