What a Camera Inspection
Reveals

A sewer camera inspection removes all the guesswork. Here's exactly what our HD cameras find inside your pipes.

๐ŸŒฟ
Root Intrusion
Tree roots enter sewer pipes through joints and cracks, creating blockages that grow back unless the root cause is addressed.
๐Ÿ’ฅ
Cracks & Fractures
Older clay and cast iron pipes crack over time from ground movement, settling, and corrosion โ€” invisible from above ground.
๐Ÿ“‰
Bellied Pipe
A belly is a low spot in the sewer line where waste accumulates and recurring backups occur โ€” often caused by soil settlement.
๐Ÿงฑ
Grease & Scale Buildup
Years of grease, mineral scale, and debris can coat the inside of pipes, reducing flow to a fraction of the original diameter.
โฌ›
Collapsed Pipe
A fully collapsed sewer line requires immediate repair. Camera inspection catches this before it becomes a sewage emergency.
๐Ÿ”—
Offset or Separated Joints
Ground movement can shift pipe sections out of alignment, creating gaps where roots enter and waste leaks out.

When You Should Schedule a Camera Inspection

Buying or selling a home โ€” A sewer scope is one of the most important pre-purchase inspections in LA. Older homes throughout the SFV have clay or cast iron sewer lines that may be failing. Know before you close.

Recurring drain problems โ€” If your drains keep backing up after being cleared, a camera inspection shows whether the real problem is roots, a belly, or a break.

Before any sewer repair โ€” We always camera inspect first so we know exactly what we're repairing and where โ€” no guessing, no unnecessary digging.

Mature trees near your sewer line โ€” LA's jacarandas, ficus, and palm trees are beautiful. Their roots are relentless. An annual inspection catches intrusion early.

We include a FREE camera inspection with every sewer service call. No separate charge.

How a Sewer Camera
Inspection Works

The whole process typically takes 30โ€“60 minutes. Here's exactly what happens.

01
Access the Line
We access your sewer line through a cleanout, toilet flange, or roof vent โ€” whichever gives us the best view of the full line.
02
Feed the Camera
Our waterproof HD camera travels through your sewer line on a flexible cable, sending live footage back to our monitor in real time.
03
You Watch Live
You see exactly what we see on the monitor โ€” no mystery, no "trust us." We narrate what we're looking at as we go.
04
Locate & Mark
Our locator finds the depth and position of any issues above ground โ€” so if digging is needed, we know exactly where to dig.
05
Honest Report
We give you a clear explanation of what we found and what โ€” if anything โ€” needs to be done. No upselling. Just the facts.
