A camera inspection puts a high-resolution camera inside your drain or sewer line so the problem stops being a mystery. Instead of guessing why a line keeps backing up, you watch the actual cause on screen — and with the locator, we can mark exactly where it sits underground and how deep.
Why this matters
Repeat backups always have a reason. In our area the camera most often finds:
- Roots entering at the joints of clay and cast iron pipe
- Original cast iron in pre-mid-1970s homes — rough, scaled, and narrowed with age
- Clay pipe joints that have shifted or separated in older neighborhoods
- Bellies — sagging sections that hold water and collect debris
- Grease and buildup that cabling alone won’t remove
Honest diagnosis, on the record
We use flat-rate pricing on most video inspections, and you’re welcome to watch the whole thing. If the line is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too — an inspection that finds nothing wrong is good news, not a sales opportunity. And because we can guarantee cleaning work on lines whose condition a camera has confirmed, an inspection often pays for itself in certainty.
Common questions
What does a camera inspection show?
The inside of your line in real time — roots, cracks, offsets, bellies holding water, grease, and pipe material. You can watch the screen with us; we point out what we're seeing as we go.
Can you tell exactly where the problem is?
Yes. The camera head carries a transmitter, so we can locate the trouble spot from above ground and mark its position and depth. If repair is ever needed, that turns a guessing-game excavation into one precise dig.
Is it worth doing before buying a house?
On older homes here, strongly yes. Many pre-mid-70s Gulf Coast homes still have original cast iron or clay sewer lines. A camera inspection before closing tells you what you're actually buying — it's a small cost against a big surprise.
