1. Find the Source of Problems Quickly
- A camera inspection shows the exact cause of issues like frequent clogs, slow drains, or sewer backups.
- It reveals whether it’s tree roots, pipe collapse, grease buildup, or foreign objects.
2. Prevent Expensive Damage
- Sewer backups can cause flooding, health hazards, and costly repairs.
- A camera check can catch problems early, before they turn into an emergency.
3. Pinpoint the Problem Location
- Plumbers can see exactly where the damage or blockage is, instead of digging up your whole yard.
- Saves money on labor and avoids unnecessary property damage.
4. Check Pipe Condition
- Over time, pipes can crack, corrode, or shift.
- A camera reveals the overall health of your sewer line, so you know if replacement or cleaning is needed.
5. Home Buying & Selling Advantage
- If you’re buying a home, a sewer inspection can save you from surprise repair bills.
- Sellers can show proof their sewer line is in good shape, adding value and buyer confidence.
6. Peace of Mind
- Even if you don’t have visible plumbing issues, a camera inspection gives reassurance — especially in older homes or houses with large trees nearby (root intrusion risk).
✅ When to Get Your Sewer Camera’d
- Recurring clogs or backups.
- Slow drainage throughout the house (not just one fixture).
- Foul sewer odors inside or outside.
- Before buying an older home.
If your home is over 20–30 years old and hasn’t had a recent inspection.
