Inspection Before Expensive Decisions
When a drain keeps backing up, the cause is not always visible from the surface. Camera inspection helps show whether the line is blocked by buildup, invaded by roots, holding water, offset at a joint or damaged in a specific area.
This service is especially useful before major repairs, before buying a property, after repeat backups or when cleaning opens the line but the problem keeps returning. The camera helps turn a guess into a more informed plan.
What the Camera Can Reveal
A sewer camera may show root intrusion, cracked pipe, collapsed sections, standing water, separated joints, grease, scale, construction debris or foreign objects. It can also help estimate the location of a problem so the next step is more targeted.
When Inspection Works Best
Camera inspection works best after enough flow is restored for the lens to pass through the line. If the pipe is fully blocked, cleaning may be needed first before a useful inspection can be completed.
