Camera Inspections in Outside the Loop

A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof camera into your sewer or drain lines to visually inspect the interior of the pipes. This allows us to identify issues like blockages, cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, or offsets without invasive digging.

Camera inspections are the most accurate way to diagnose plumbing problems deep in your lines. They’re recommended for recurring clogs, slow drains, foul odors, before buying a home, or after major backups to pinpoint the exact cause and location of issues.

We access your pipes through a cleanout or existing entry point, feed the flexible camera cable through the line, and view real-time footage on a monitor. The camera transmits clear video while we locate and document any problems. The process is non-destructive and clean.

Typical costs range from $250–$600, depending on pipe length, accessibility, and whether it’s a main sewer line or smaller drain. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees and often bundle inspections with other services for savings.

Most residential inspections take 30–90 minutes, depending on the line length and complexity. We’ll review the findings with you on-site and provide a digital copy of the video footage for your records.
