We’ve been serving Tahoma and the El Dorado County area for over two decades. We’ve seen what tree roots can do to sewer lines in this region, and we know how older pipes behave as they age. Our sewer camera technology takes the guesswork out of plumbing diagnostics. While other plumbers might have you digging holes based on educated guesses, we show you exactly what’s wrong before any work begins. Tahoma homeowners appreciate our straightforward approach.

Sewer Camera Inspection Process

Simple Process, Clear Answers

We start by accessing your sewer line through a cleanout or existing access point. If needed, we can work through other entry points without major disruption. Our high-definition camera travels through your entire sewer line on a flexible cable, sending live video back to our monitor. You’re welcome to watch along as we inspect every section of your system. The camera reveals blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, pipe deterioration, and any other issues affecting your sewer line. We record the inspection so you have documentation of your system’s condition. Most inspections take about an hour, and you’ll have a complete picture of your sewer line’s health when we’re done.

What You Get With Every Inspection

Your sewer camera inspection includes a complete video survey of your sewer line from your home to the street connection. We identify tree root infiltration, pipe cracks, blockages, and structural issues that could cause problems. Tahoma’s mature trees and older infrastructure create specific challenges for sewer systems. Tree roots naturally seek out moisture from sewer lines, especially where there are small cracks or loose joints. Our cameras spot these issues before they become major blockages or pipe failures. You receive a detailed explanation of our findings, including video footage you can keep for your records. If we find problems, we’ll explain your repair options and help you prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can be monitored over time.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Tahoma?

Sewer camera inspection costs typically range from $200 to $500 in the Tahoma area, depending on your sewer line’s length and accessibility. The investment pays for itself when you consider the cost of digging up your yard to find a problem the old-fashioned way. Most homeowners find the inspection cost minimal compared to the money saved by pinpointing exact problem locations. Instead of excavating large areas or replacing entire sections of pipe based on guesswork, you know precisely where issues exist and can target repairs accordingly. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for the inspection service.

What problems can a sewer camera find in my pipes?

Our sewer cameras identify tree root intrusion, pipe cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, grease buildup, and structural deterioration. In Tahoma, tree root problems are particularly common due to the area’s mature landscaping and older sewer infrastructure. The camera shows us pipe material condition, joint integrity, and any foreign objects that might be causing drainage issues. We can spot early-stage problems like hairline cracks or minor root infiltration before they develop into major blockages or pipe failures. You’ll see exactly what we see on the monitor, so there’s no mystery about your sewer line’s condition. The high-definition video clearly shows problem areas and helps you understand what repairs might be needed now or in the future.

How often should I have my sewer line inspected?

Most Tahoma homeowners benefit from sewer camera inspections every 2-3 years for preventive maintenance. If you have mature trees on your property or have experienced recurring drain problems, annual inspections make more sense. Older homes with original sewer lines should consider more frequent inspections, especially if you’ve had previous root intrusion or pipe repairs. Properties with clay or cast iron sewer lines are more susceptible to root damage and deterioration. Think of it like a regular health checkup – catching small problems early prevents expensive emergencies later. The cost of periodic inspections is far less than emergency sewer repairs or dealing with sewage backups in your home.

Can you do a sewer camera inspection without digging up my yard?

Yes, sewer camera inspections are completely non-invasive and require no digging. We access your sewer line through existing cleanouts, toilet connections, or other access points already built into your plumbing system. The flexible camera cable travels through your pipes just like water would, giving us a complete view of your sewer line’s interior condition. This approach saves your landscaping, driveway, and yard from unnecessary excavation. If repairs are needed after the inspection, we can often use trenchless methods that require minimal digging. The camera inspection shows us exactly where problems exist, so any excavation can be precisely targeted rather than exploratory.

What should I do if the camera finds tree roots in my sewer line?

Tree root intrusion is treatable, and early detection through camera inspection gives you the best options. Depending on the extent of root growth, we can use mechanical cutting, hydro jetting, or chemical treatments to clear the roots from your pipes. The key is addressing root problems before they cause complete blockages or pipe damage. Minor root intrusion can often be cleared and managed with periodic maintenance, while severe cases might require pipe repair or replacement in affected sections. We’ll show you exactly where the roots are located and explain your options based on the severity of the intrusion. Many Tahoma homeowners successfully manage tree root issues with regular maintenance once they know where problems exist in their sewer lines.

Will I be able to see what the camera finds during the inspection?

Absolutely. We encourage you to watch the inspection process on our monitor as the camera travels through your sewer line. You’ll see exactly what we see in real-time, and we’ll explain what you’re looking at as we go. After the inspection, you receive a copy of the video footage for your records. This documentation is valuable for insurance purposes, future maintenance planning, or if you’re buying or selling your home. Having visual proof of your sewer line’s condition eliminates guesswork and helps you make informed decisions about any needed repairs. You’ll understand exactly what problems exist and why we recommend specific solutions based on what the camera revealed.
