What's Included in Your Inspection

Your sewer camera inspection includes high-definition video footage of your entire sewer line, from your home’s foundation to the street connection. Our professional-grade equipment provides depth and distance tracking, so we know exactly where any problems are located. In Foresthill’s challenging environment, this precision matters. Hard water mineral buildup, tree root intrusion from mature oaks and pines, and older pipe materials common in mountain homes all create specific issues that require accurate identification. You receive a complete video recording, written report with our findings, and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs. We explain everything in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s happening with your plumbing system and what your options are.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Foresthill?

Sewer camera inspection costs in Foresthill typically range from $275 to $500, depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility. Most residential inspections fall around $350 for a standard single-family home. The investment is worth it when you consider that sewer line repairs can cost $10,000 to $25,000 if problems aren’t caught early. Our inspection identifies issues before they become expensive disasters, often saving thousands in unnecessary repairs. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The quoted price is what you pay, and we’ll explain any factors that might affect the cost before we start the inspection.

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Most sewer camera inspections take 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the length and complexity of your sewer system. Straightforward inspections with easy access points are typically finished within 30 minutes. Additional time may be needed if we encounter blockages, need to locate buried cleanouts, or if your sewer line has multiple branches or unusual configurations. We’ll give you a time estimate before starting the work. You’re welcome to watch the entire process. Many customers find it helpful to see exactly what’s happening inside their pipes, and we encourage questions throughout the inspection.

What problems can sewer camera inspection detect?

Our high-definition cameras can identify virtually any issue inside your sewer lines: tree root intrusion, pipe cracks or breaks, blockages from grease or debris, mineral buildup from hard water, collapsed or sagging pipe sections, and joint separations. We can also see pipe material types throughout your system, which is important since many Foresthill homes have mixed materials from various upgrade projects over the years. This information helps us recommend the most appropriate repair methods. The camera shows us exactly where problems are located, eliminating guesswork and ensuring repairs target the actual issue. You’ll see everything we see on the monitor, so there are no surprises about what needs to be fixed.

Do I need a sewer inspection before buying a home?

Absolutely. A sewer camera inspection before purchasing a home can reveal hidden problems that could cost thousands to repair later. Many sewer line issues aren’t visible during standard home inspections, especially in older Foresthill properties. Tree roots, aging cast iron or clay pipes, and previous repair work can create expensive problems that aren’t apparent until after you’ve moved in. The inspection gives you negotiating power and helps you make informed decisions about your purchase. For older homes or properties with mature trees, a sewer inspection is essential. The small cost of the inspection can save you from inheriting major plumbing problems that become your responsibility once you own the property.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected?

Most plumbing experts recommend sewer camera inspections every 1-2 years for preventive maintenance, especially for older homes or properties with large trees nearby. In Foresthill’s environment, annual inspections are often wise due to seasonal debris and tree root activity. If you’re experiencing recurring drain problems, slow drainage, or unusual odors, don’t wait for your regular inspection schedule. These symptoms often indicate developing issues that are easier and less expensive to fix when caught early. Properties with cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipes should be inspected more frequently, as these materials are more susceptible to deterioration and root intrusion. Regular inspections help catch minor problems before they become major, costly repairs.

What happens if the inspection finds problems?

If we find issues during your inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we’re seeing and discuss your repair options. You get a complete video record and written report, so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed. We provide honest assessments and fair pricing for any necessary repairs. Some problems, like minor blockages, can often be resolved immediately. More complex issues like root intrusion or pipe damage require specific repair strategies that we’ll explain in detail. You’re never pressured to make immediate decisions about repairs. Take the video and report, get additional opinions if you want, and choose the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget. Our goal is giving you the information you need to make the right choice.
