Sewer Camera Inspection Services
Need to see what’s really going on inside your pipes? Our advanced sewer camera inspection services provide a clear, accurate diagnosis of your plumbing issues. High-resolution video technology reveals blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and corrosion without any guesswork. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties with fast, reliable pipe inspections.
See Inside Your Pipes with Professional Camera Inspection
When you have a stubborn drain clog or recurring plumbing problems, it’s frustrating not knowing the root cause. Old-fashioned methods like snaking can temporarily clear a blockage but leave you wondering what’s actually happening inside your pipes. Our professional sewer camera inspection services eliminate the mystery by letting you see exactly what’s blocking or damaging your sewer lines.
Using waterproof cameras attached to flexible cables, we navigate through your entire sewer system to identify problems with pinpoint accuracy. The real-time video feed shows us cracks, tree roots, grease buildup, pipe corrosion, misaligned joints, and collapsed sections. This non-invasive technology saves you time and money by targeting repairs exactly where they’re needed instead of digging up your entire yard on a hunch.
We record the entire inspection so you can review footage with our technician and understand exactly what repairs are needed.
Fast camera inspections during plumbing emergencies help us locate urgent issues like sewage backups or collapsed pipes immediately.
Complete inspection of your main sewer line from your home to the street connection, checking for blockages and structural damage.
Watch the inspection happen live on our monitor as we guide the camera through your pipes and answer your questions.
When You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
Chronic drain problems that return shortly after cleaning indicate underlying issues that require visual inspection. When multiple drains back up simultaneously, slow drainage persists despite treatment, or you smell sewage in your home or yard, a camera inspection reveals the root cause instead of treating symptoms repeatedly.
Homebuyers purchasing properties built before 2000 should always inspect sewer lines, especially in coastal areas where saltwater accelerates pipe deterioration. Mature trees near your sewer line, unexplained wet spots in your yard, or foundation cracks paired with plumbing issues all warrant camera inspection.
Strange sounds like gurgling from toilets, unusually high water bills suggesting hidden leaks, or recent landscaping work near underground pipes are reasons to schedule an inspection. The video documentation shows you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes and whether repairs can wait or need immediate attention.
How Our Sewer Camera Inspection Works
We access your sewer line through the cleanout port outside your home or via roof vents if needed. Our technician inserts a waterproof camera on a flexible cable while monitoring the live video feed on our display screen. You’re invited to watch alongside us as we navigate through your pipes.
The camera travels through your entire sewer system with bright LED lights revealing every detail. We record the inspection and mark exact distances from entry points to problem areas. The footage clearly shows blockages, cracks, root penetration, pipe offset, and corrosion damage.
After completing the inspection, we review the footage with you and explain our findings in straightforward terms. You receive the recorded video, a written assessment, and specific repair recommendations with transparent pricing before any work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Camera Inspection
❓ What problems can a sewer camera inspection detect?
Camera inspections reveal tree root intrusion, pipe cracks and breaks, grease and mineral buildup, collapsed sections, corrosion from saltwater exposure, separated joints, blockages from foreign objects, and pipe bellying where sections have settled. The video shows the condition of your entire sewer line from your home to the street connection.
❓ How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 45 minutes to an hour depending on the length of your sewer line and accessibility. We work efficiently while thoroughly documenting the condition of your pipes. You receive immediate results rather than waiting days for a diagnostic report.
❓ Is camera inspection necessary before hydro jetting or repairs?
Camera inspection before hydro jetting confirms what’s causing blockages and verifies your pipes can handle high-pressure water safely. For repairs, inspection shows exactly where damage exists so we dig only where necessary instead of excavating large areas searching for problems. This precision saves you money on labor and landscaping restoration.
❓ Will the camera inspection damage my pipes?
No. The camera equipment is specifically designed for sewer inspection with a flexible cable and smooth camera head that navigates bends without harming pipe interiors. This non-invasive method is safe for all residential pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, clay, and concrete.
❓ Do you provide the inspection footage to customers?
Yes, you receive a copy of the recorded inspection video along with our written assessment. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, negotiating home purchase prices, or getting second opinions on recommended repairs. The footage clearly shows what we found and supports our repair recommendations.
❓ Can you inspect vertical pipes and unusual configurations?
Our equipment handles standard residential sewer configurations including horizontal main lines and most vertical connections. If your property has unusual pipe layouts or extremely tight bends, we’ll assess accessibility during the initial consultation and recommend alternative diagnostic methods if needed.
