Sewer Inspection Camera Process

Simple Process, Clear Answers in About an Hour
We start by locating your sewer cleanout – usually a capped pipe near your foundation or in your yard. Our waterproof inspection camera gets inserted into your sewer line through this access point, so there’s no digging required. The high-resolution camera travels through your entire sewer system, sending live video back to our monitor. We can see everything – from minor buildup to major root intrusion, cracked pipes, or collapsed sections. The camera even has precise locating equipment, so we know exactly where any problems are positioned. You watch the inspection happen in real-time. We explain what we’re seeing as we go and record everything for your records. Most inspections take about an hour, and you’ll have a complete picture of your sewer system’s condition before we leave.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Arden-Arcade?

Sewer camera inspections in Arden-Arcade typically cost between $250-$500, depending on your property’s layout and access points. This investment is significantly less than emergency repairs, which can range from $6,000 to $30,000 for major sewer line problems. The inspection cost often pays for itself by catching issues early when they’re still affordable to fix. Many customers find that knowing their sewer system’s true condition gives them peace of mind worth far more than the inspection fee. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If we find issues during the inspection and you choose us for repairs, we often apply the inspection cost toward your repair bill.
Yes, our sewer camera inspection is completely non-invasive and requires no digging. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts – usually a capped pipe near your foundation or in your yard that’s already part of your plumbing system. The waterproof camera travels through your entire sewer system underground, providing clear video footage of your pipes’ interior condition. This method is much faster and less disruptive than traditional inspection methods that required excavation. Most inspections are completed in about an hour with no damage to landscaping, driveways, or other property features. You get comprehensive information about your sewer system without any of the mess or expense of digging.
Sewer camera inspections are particularly valuable in Arden-Arcade because of the area’s aging infrastructure. We commonly find cracked clay pipes, sections crushed by soil movement, and heavy root intrusion from mature trees seeking moisture in sewer lines. The area’s hard water also causes mineral buildup inside pipes, creating rough surfaces that trap debris and lead to recurring clogs. Many older properties still have galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are prone to corrosion and internal rust buildup. Our cameras can detect all these issues – from minor cracks that could worsen over time to major blockages or collapsed sections requiring immediate attention. Early detection helps you address problems before they cause sewage backups or expensive emergency situations.
Absolutely. Standard home inspections don’t examine sewer lines, leaving you vulnerable to inheriting expensive problems. An undetected sewer issue can quickly lead to repair costs ranging from $6,000 to $30,000 or more. Arden-Arcade’s older infrastructure makes sewer inspections especially important for home buyers. Many properties have original clay or cast iron sewer lines that may be nearing the end of their useful life, even if they’re currently functioning. A pre-purchase sewer inspection gives you negotiating leverage if problems are found and peace of mind if the system is in good condition. The inspection cost is minimal compared to the potential repair expenses you could face as a new homeowner.
For most Arden-Arcade homes, we recommend sewer camera inspections every 3-5 years as preventive maintenance. However, properties with mature trees, older pipes, or a history of sewer problems may benefit from more frequent inspections. If you’re experiencing recurring drain clogs, gurgling sounds, or unexplained wet spots in your yard, don’t wait for your regular inspection schedule. These symptoms often indicate developing sewer line problems that are easier and less expensive to address when caught early. Regular inspections help you budget for necessary repairs and avoid emergency situations. Many customers find that the peace of mind from knowing their sewer system’s condition is worth the modest inspection cost.
If we discover issues during your inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found, show you the video footage, 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 recommendations and transparent pricing for any necessary repairs. We’ll explain whether the issue is urgent or something that can be planned for future maintenance, helping you make informed decisions about your property. You’re never pressured to make immediate decisions about repairs. We provide the information you need to understand your sewer system’s condition and work with you to develop a plan that fits your budget and timeline.
