Complete Sewer Camera Inspection Lemon Hill

What You Actually Get

Your sewer camera inspection includes a thorough video examination of your entire sewer line, from your home’s connection to the main sewer system. We check for blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe separation, and structural damage that could cause future problems. In Lemon Hill’s diverse housing market, this service is particularly valuable. Whether you’re dealing with an older home’s cast iron pipes or a newer property’s PVC system, we identify the specific challenges your sewer faces. Hard water mineral buildup, tree root infiltration, and settling-related pipe shifts are common issues we regularly discover and help residents address. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of our findings, including the location and severity of any problems. If repairs are needed, we’ll outline your options and provide transparent pricing. Many of our Lemon Hill customers are surprised to learn their “major” sewer problem has a simple, affordable solution once we can actually see what’s happening inside the pipes.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Lemon Hill?

Sewer camera inspections in Lemon Hill typically range from $200 to $400, depending on your sewer line’s length and accessibility. At Murray Plumbing, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment makes sense when you consider that early detection can prevent thousands of dollars in emergency repairs. Many of our customers discover minor issues that cost a few hundred dollars to fix, rather than waiting until they become major problems requiring extensive excavation or pipe replacement. We also offer a new customer discount, and if you decide to proceed with repairs based on our inspection findings, we’ll often credit the inspection fee toward your repair costs.

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

Our high-definition cameras can identify virtually any issue inside your sewer line. We regularly find tree root intrusion, which is common in Lemon Hill’s established neighborhoods where mature trees seek water sources. The camera shows us exactly where roots have penetrated your pipes and how extensively they’ve grown. We also detect cracks, breaks, and pipe separations that occur from ground settling or aging materials. Blockages from grease buildup, debris, or foreign objects are clearly visible, along with their exact location. In older homes, we often find corroded pipe sections or areas where different pipe materials were joined improperly. The camera also reveals the overall condition of your pipe interior, showing us mineral buildup from hard water, which is particularly relevant in this area. This comprehensive view helps us recommend the most effective and economical solutions for your specific situation.

Do you have to dig up my yard to do the inspection?

No digging required. That’s the whole point of camera technology. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts—those small pipes you might see in your yard or basement—or through other access points like floor drains or by temporarily removing a toilet. The waterproof camera travels through your entire sewer system on a flexible cable, giving us a complete view of your pipes’ interior without disturbing your landscaping, driveway, or other property features. This non-invasive approach is faster, cleaner, and much less expensive than traditional inspection methods. If we do find problems that require repair, we can often use trenchless repair methods that minimize excavation. But the inspection itself leaves your property exactly as we found it, with no cleanup needed and no disruption to your daily routine.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected in Lemon Hill?

For most Lemon Hill homes, we recommend sewer camera inspections every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance. However, if your home is over 20 years old or you’ve experienced recurring drain issues, annual inspections make more sense. Given the area’s hard water conditions and mature trees, some properties benefit from more frequent monitoring. We also strongly recommend inspections before buying or selling a home, after major plumbing problems, or if you notice persistent slow drains, unusual odors, or wet spots in your yard. The frequency really depends on your specific situation. Homes with older cast iron or clay pipes, properties with large trees nearby, or houses that have had previous sewer issues typically need more regular monitoring. We’ll help you determine the right schedule based on what we find during your initial inspection.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

We explain exactly what we found, show you the video footage, and discuss your options. There’s no pressure to make immediate decisions. We want you to understand the severity of any issues and the timeframe for addressing them. Minor problems like small blockages might need attention within a few months, while major structural damage could require more immediate action to prevent property damage or health hazards. We provide detailed cost estimates for different repair approaches, from simple cleaning to more comprehensive solutions. Many problems we discover have multiple repair options. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each approach, helping you choose the solution that makes the most sense for your budget and long-term needs. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make confident decisions about your property’s plumbing system.

Can the camera find lost items that went down the drain?

Yes, our cameras are excellent for locating lost jewelry, toys, or other valuable items that have fallen down drains. The high-definition video clearly shows objects lodged in your pipes, and our locating equipment pinpoints exactly where they are. We’ve recovered wedding rings, children’s toys, and other precious items that homeowners thought were gone forever. Even if the item isn’t particularly valuable, we recommend removal because foreign objects can create blockage points where debris accumulates over time. The recovery process depends on the item’s location and your pipe configuration. Sometimes we can retrieve items using specialized tools during the same visit. Other situations might require additional equipment or techniques. We’ll assess the situation and explain your options for recovery, along with the associated costs, so you can decide if retrieval makes sense for your particular situation.
