From Findings to Next Steps

Camera Finding Likely Cause Typical Next Step
Grease, debris, or scale blockage Buildup over time, no structural damage Drain cleaning
Minor root intrusion at a joint Roots entering through a small gap Root removal, possible spot repair
Isolated crack or break Ground movement, age, or root pressure Spot repair or trenchless lining
Belly (sag) in the line Soil settling under the pipe Trenchless repair or targeted excavation
Multiple offset joints along the run Widespread soil movement or aging clay pipe Trenchless replacement often considered
Full or partial collapse Structural failure of the pipe Repair or replacement of the affected section

How the Inspection Works

1
Access point identified — an exterior cleanout or other suitable entry point.
2
Camera fed into the line, transmitting real-time video as it travels.
3
Line reviewed section by section, noting root intrusion, cracks, joints, bellies, or blockages.
4
Problem areas located — a locator marks depth and above-ground position for precise digging if needed.
5
Findings documented — a report and recorded footage are provided.
6
Next steps discussed — no action needed, cleaning, spot repair, trenchless repair, or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?

Pricing depends on the diagnosis, access, scope of work, and method required. Call +1 (888) 395-2416 for specifics.

Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home?

Yes — a sewer scope is one of the few ways to see actual line condition before closing, since standard home inspections usually don’t cover it.

What can a sewer camera inspection find?

Root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, bellies, corrosion, blockages, and collapsed sections, marking the depth and location of problem areas.

Can a camera locate a sewer line break?

Yes, in most cases — a transmitter in the camera head allows a locator to mark the depth and above-ground position for follow-up work.

Do I need drain cleaning before a camera inspection?

If the line is significantly blocked, the camera may not get a clear view. Drain cleaning is typically done first, then the inspection follows.

Do I need a camera for recurring clogs?

If a clog keeps returning despite cleaning, a camera inspection helps determine whether there’s a structural cause like root intrusion or a belly.

What can’t a sewer camera inspection tell me?

It can’t see past a full blockage, can’t measure pipe strength from video alone, and won’t cover sections it doesn’t physically travel through.
