Sewer Camera Inspection: What Can We Actually See?
Sewer Line
Before we dig, we look. A sewer camera inspection involves feeding a high-definition, waterproof camera into your sewer cleanout to travel down the line to the city connection.
What It Reveals
- Root Intrusion: We can see exactly where roots are entering.
- Bellies (Sags): Low spots in the pipe where water and waste collect, causing frequent clogs.
- Offset Joints: Sections of pipe that have shifted due to soil movement.
- Cracks & Collapses: Physical damage to the pipe structure.
Pro Tip: Always get a camera inspection before buying an older home. A $200 inspection can save you from a $10,000 repair bill after moving in.
