Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
What is a sewer camera inspection?
It’s a plumbing diagnostic using a high-resolution camera to view the inside of your pipes. It reveals clogs, damage, root intrusions, or misaligned sections — all without excavation.
What are other names for this service?
It’s also called a sewer scope, video pipe inspection, drain camera service, sewer line camera, or pipe camera inspection — all referring to the same high-tech diagnostic process.
Do I need one if my drains are working fine?
If your home is older or you’ve never had your sewer line inspected, it’s smart to scope it. Damage can develop slowly and show no surface signs until it’s too late — prevention is key.
Is this service important for homebuyers?
Absolutely. Sewer repairs can cost $5,000–$15,000. A 30-minute inspection during escrow could save you thousands and give you peace of mind before closing.
Will I get a copy of the video?
Yes. Upon request, we provide video footage and a written summary. It’s helpful for realtors, inspectors, insurance claims, or keeping records for future maintenance.
