Sewer Inspection Process Auburn CA

Simple Process, Clear Answers

Our sewer camera inspection process is straightforward and non-invasive. We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line – usually through a cleanout or, if necessary, by temporarily removing a toilet. Next, we insert a flexible, waterproof camera attached to a cable into your sewer line. This high-definition camera travels through your pipes, sending real-time video back to our monitor. We can see everything – cracks, blockages, root intrusions, pipe misalignment, and any other issues. As we conduct the inspection, we’ll explain what we’re seeing and point out any problems. You’ll get a complete assessment of your sewer line’s condition, along with our honest recommendation for next steps. The entire process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system’s length and complexity.

Auburn Sewer Camera Technology

Advanced Equipment, Accurate Results

We use state-of-the-art waterproof cameras specifically designed for sewer line inspections. These cameras can navigate through pipes underground, behind walls, and beneath foundations – areas that would be impossible to inspect any other way. Our equipment captures high-definition video and can identify even small problems before they become major headaches. Whether your sewer line runs 50 feet or 200 feet from your house to the street connection, our cameras can handle the full inspection. Auburn’s infrastructure includes over 85 miles of wastewater collection lines, and many homes in the area have older systems that benefit from regular camera inspections. We understand the local soil conditions, tree root patterns, and common pipe materials used in Auburn construction, which helps us provide more accurate assessments for homeowners in our community.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Auburn, CA?

Most sewer camera inspections in Auburn cost between $125 and $500, depending on your system’s complexity and access points. At Murray Plumbing, we offer free estimates and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The cost varies based on factors like whether you have a cleanout access point or if we need to remove a toilet for access. Longer sewer lines or more complex systems may cost slightly more due to the additional time required. Remember, a camera inspection that costs a few hundred dollars can save you thousands in unnecessary repairs. Many sewer line repairs cost $7,500 or more, so knowing exactly what’s wrong before you start digging is always worth the investment.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find?

Our sewer cameras can identify virtually any issue inside your pipes. Common problems we find include tree root intrusions, pipe breaks or cracks, blockages from grease or debris, pipe misalignment, and corrosion. We also spot issues like cross-connections, inflow and infiltration problems, and pipe collapses. The camera can even locate lost items that have been flushed or washed down drains. Early detection is key – most homeowners don’t realize they have sewer problems until sewage backs up into their home. By then, you’re looking at emergency repairs and potential water damage. A camera inspection catches problems while they’re still manageable and affordable to fix.

How often should I get a sewer camera inspection?

Most experts recommend sewer camera inspections every three to five years for preventive maintenance. However, if you have an older home, large trees near your sewer line, or have experienced repeated drain problems, you might want to inspect more frequently. Auburn has many mature trees and older infrastructure, which can increase the likelihood of root intrusions and pipe deterioration. If you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, don’t wait for your regular inspection schedule. We also strongly recommend a sewer camera inspection before buying any home in Auburn. The average cost to repair undetected sewer damage is $7,500, but a pre-purchase inspection can help you avoid that surprise or negotiate repairs before closing.

Will the camera inspection damage my pipes?

No, sewer camera inspections are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your pipes. Our cameras are small, flexible, and designed specifically for navigating through sewer systems without causing any harm. The waterproof cameras move smoothly through your pipes on a flexible cable, adapting to bends and turns in your sewer line. The process is gentler than traditional snaking or rooter services. This non-destructive approach is one of the biggest advantages of camera inspections. We can thoroughly examine your entire sewer system without digging, cutting, or disrupting your property. You get complete information about your pipes’ condition without any risk of damage from the inspection itself.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

If we discover issues during your sewer camera inspection, we’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your options clearly. You’ll see the problems on our monitor in real-time, so there’s no confusion about what needs to be addressed. We provide honest assessments about which problems need immediate attention and which ones you can monitor over time. Not every issue requires emergency repairs, and we’ll help you prioritize based on severity and your budget. Our transparent approach means you’ll get a fair estimate for any necessary repairs, with no pressure to make immediate decisions. We believe in giving you the information you need to make smart choices about your home’s plumbing system.

Do you provide emergency sewer camera inspections?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent sewer problems in Auburn. When you’re dealing with sewage backups, multiple drain failures, or other emergency situations, we can perform immediate camera inspections to identify the problem quickly. Emergency sewer issues can’t wait for regular business hours, especially when they pose health risks or threaten property damage.
