Sewer Camera Inspection Process Granite Bay

Simple Process, Clear Results

We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line—usually through an existing cleanout or basement connection. If needed, we’ll create minimal access according to local regulations. Our high-definition camera travels through your entire sewer line, transmitting real-time video to our monitor. You can watch along as we inspect every foot of pipe, identifying any blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or structural issues. Most inspections take 30 to 90 minutes depending on your pipe length and complexity. We document everything we find with video and photos, then provide you with a condition-rated report that removes all the guesswork about what repairs you actually need.

The inspection covers your entire lateral sewer line from your home’s foundation to the street connection. We document pipe material, joint conditions, and any areas of concern with precise location information.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Granite Bay?

Most Granite Bay homeowners pay between $250 and $500 for a professional sewer camera inspection, with the average around $350. The exact cost depends on your pipe length, access difficulty, and whether you need additional services like locating or detailed documentation. This investment can save you thousands by identifying issues early. A $350 inspection often reveals problems that would cost $10,000 to $25,000 to repair if left undetected. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Will the camera damage my old sewer pipes?

No, the inspection camera is completely non-invasive and designed specifically to navigate sewer lines without stressing or damaging the pipe. The camera is much safer than traditional methods that required digging or guesswork. Our equipment is engineered to work with all pipe materials common in Granite Bay, including older clay pipes, cast iron, and modern PVC. The flexible camera cable moves smoothly through bends and joints without applying pressure to pipe walls. This technology actually helps protect your pipes by identifying problems before they require emergency repairs or excavation. You get answers without any risk to your existing plumbing system.

Can you detect tree root problems with the camera?

Yes, sewer camera inspection is the most effective way to detect and assess tree root intrusion. The HD video clearly shows roots penetrating joints, the extent of root growth, and exactly where they’re causing blockages or damage. This is especially important in Granite Bay where mature oaks, pines, and landscaped trees commonly send roots into sewer lines seeking water and nutrients. The camera shows us not just that roots are present, but how extensive the problem is and the best approach for removal. We can distinguish between minor root intrusion that might be managed with periodic cleaning versus major root damage that requires more comprehensive repair. This information helps you make informed decisions about treatment options and prevents unnecessary work.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected?

For most Granite Bay homes, we recommend sewer camera inspection every 3 to 5 years as preventive maintenance. However, you may need more frequent inspections if you have mature trees near your sewer line, an older home with original pipes, or a history of recurring drain problems. Properties with large oaks or other trees within 50 feet of the sewer line should consider annual inspections, as tree roots can grow surprisingly quickly once they find a water source. Homes built before 1980 with clay or cast iron pipes also benefit from more frequent monitoring. If you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring backups, or unusual odors, don’t wait for your scheduled inspection. These symptoms often indicate developing problems that are much less expensive to address early.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

When we identify issues, we provide you with a detailed explanation of what we found, why it’s happening, and your repair options. You receive video evidence of the problem along with our professional assessment of urgency and recommended solutions. For minor issues like small blockages or early-stage root intrusion, we might recommend targeted cleaning or preventive treatments. More significant problems like pipe damage or extensive root invasion require repair options ranging from spot fixes to trenchless relining. We explain each option’s costs, benefits, and long-term effectiveness so you can make the best decision for your situation. There’s no pressure to proceed immediately—you have all the documentation you need to get additional opinions or plan repairs when convenient for you.

Can the inspection be used for real estate transactions?

Absolutely. Sewer camera inspections are increasingly common in Granite Bay real estate transactions, providing buyers and sellers with documented evidence of sewer line condition. This removes uncertainty and helps guide negotiations or repair commitments. For buyers, the inspection reveals any hidden sewer problems before you purchase, potentially saving thousands in unexpected repairs. Sellers can use a clean inspection report as a selling point or identify issues to address before listing. We provide formal documentation suitable for real estate transactions, including annotated video, detailed condition reports, and professional assessments. This documentation also supports insurance claims if pipe failures occur after purchase, giving you additional protection for your investment.
