🎥 Why You Should Have Your Sewer Line Camera-Inspected

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.
