Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

Our sewer camera inspection is straightforward and non-invasive. We locate the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or drain. Then we feed a waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable through your pipes. The camera has bright LED lights and transmits real-time footage to our monitor, where you can watch alongside us. We’re looking for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe damage, or anything else that might be causing problems. As we navigate through your sewer line, we explain what we’re seeing and mark the exact location of any issues. The whole inspection typically takes less than an hour, and you walk away with a clear understanding of your sewer system’s condition and what, if anything, needs attention.

Cold Springs Sewer Line Diagnostics

What Your Inspection Reveals

Your sewer camera inspection provides a comprehensive view of your underground plumbing system. We identify common Cold Springs issues like mineral deposits from our hard water that create buildup inside pipes, tree root intrusion that’s particularly common with our area’s mature landscaping, and pipe deterioration that affects older homes. The inspection reveals blockages, cracks, corrosion, improper pipe materials, and structural problems that could lead to expensive repairs if left unaddressed. For home buyers, this service is essential—standard inspections don’t cover your sewer system, and problems here can cost thousands to fix. We provide you with video documentation of our findings, so you have a permanent record of your sewer line’s condition. This information helps you budget for future maintenance, negotiate with sellers if you’re buying, or simply have peace of mind about your current system.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Cold Springs?

Most sewer camera inspections in Cold Springs cost between $125 and $350, depending on the length of your sewer line and the complexity of accessing it. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. This investment typically pays for itself by preventing much more expensive problems. Sewer line repairs can cost thousands of dollars, and full replacements can reach $15,000 or more. Spending a few hundred dollars to know your system’s condition is smart money management. We don’t charge diagnostic fees on top of our service price. The quoted price for your sewer camera inspection is what you pay—no surprises.

What problems can a sewer camera inspection find in my pipes?

Our sewer cameras reveal a wide range of issues that aren’t visible from the surface. We commonly find tree root intrusion, which is particularly common in Cold Springs due to our mature trees seeking moisture from sewer lines. Roots can penetrate small cracks and then expand, causing severe blockages. We also identify pipe deterioration, cracks, and corrosion—especially in older clay or cast iron pipes. Mineral buildup from our area’s hard water creates deposits that restrict flow over time. The camera shows us grease buildup, foreign objects, and structural problems like sagging or collapsed sections. Early detection of these issues allows for targeted repairs instead of emergency situations. Small problems caught early are much less expensive to fix than major failures that require extensive excavation and replacement.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Most sewer camera inspections take 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. The actual camera work usually takes just 5-10 minutes, but we spend time setting up, locating the best access point, and reviewing the footage with you afterward. We don’t rush through the process. You can watch the live video feed as we navigate through your pipes, and we explain what we’re seeing in real-time. After the inspection, we review any problem areas and discuss your options. If we find issues that need immediate attention, we can often address simple problems the same day. For more complex repairs, we provide you with a clear plan and timeline for getting everything fixed properly.

Should I get a sewer inspection when buying a home?

Absolutely. A sewer camera inspection should be part of every home purchase, especially for homes over 20 years old or properties with mature landscaping. Standard home inspections don’t cover your sewer system, leaving you vulnerable to expensive surprises after closing. Sewer line problems can cost $5,000 to $15,000 or more to fix, and these issues aren’t covered by typical home warranties. A pre-purchase inspection gives you negotiating power with the seller—you can request repairs, credits, or price reductions based on documented problems. In Cold Springs, we see specific issues related to our local conditions: mineral deposits from hard water, root intrusion from established trees, and aging pipes in older neighborhoods. Knowing about these problems before you buy lets you make informed decisions about your investment.

Can you find the exact location of problems in my sewer line?

Yes, our advanced camera equipment includes depth and distance tracking that pinpoints exactly where problems exist in your sewer line. We can tell you how many feet from your house a blockage or crack is located, which helps us plan the most efficient repair approach. This precision eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary excavation. Instead of digging up your entire yard hoping to find the problem, we know exactly where to focus our efforts. This saves you time, money, and landscape damage. The location data also helps with future maintenance. If we find a problem area that doesn’t need immediate repair, you’ll know exactly where to watch for issues down the road. This information is valuable for long-term property maintenance planning.

What should I do if the camera inspection finds problems?

If we find issues during your sewer camera inspection, we explain exactly what we discovered and discuss your repair options. Not every problem requires immediate action—some issues can be monitored and addressed during routine maintenance. For problems that need attention, we provide clear recommendations based on the severity and location of the issue. Minor blockages might be cleared with hydro-jetting, while damaged pipe sections might need repair or replacement. We explain the pros and cons of different approaches so you can make informed decisions. We provide written documentation of our findings along with video footage, so you have a permanent record. This information is valuable for insurance claims, warranty issues, or future property sales. Our goal is to give you the knowledge you need to maintain your sewer system properly and avoid emergency situations.
