Visual Proof, Smart Repairs

A sewer camera inspection is one of the smartest ways to get ahead of plumbing problems before they turn into costly emergencies. Rather than guessing at what’s underground, we run a sewer line camera inspection that sends a high-resolution camera through the pipe and shows you its actual condition.

That visual proof matters. It confirms when a simple cleaning will do the job, and it confirms when something bigger. Like a root intrusion or pipe collapse. Needs targeted attention.

Buying a home? A pre-purchase camera inspection can save you tens of thousands of dollars on sewer line repairs you didn’t know you were inheriting.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sewer camera inspection?

A sewer line camera inspection means we feed a waterproof video camera through your line to see its interior in real time. Revealing clogs, cracks, root intrusion, and bellied pipe without digging.

When should I get a camera inspection?

For recurring backups, before buying a home, or to confirm the cause of a sewer problem before any repair. It removes the guesswork.

Will it find the exact problem and location?

Yes. The camera locates the issue and its depth, so any repair is targeted instead of exploratory.

How is it different from smoke testing?

A camera shows the inside of the line; smoke testing reveals leaks and faulty vents by where smoke escapes. They’re often used together.

What if you find damage?

We’ll show you the footage and give a repair plan, often tied to the sewer line. Call (410) 242-3111 to schedule.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?

Cost depends on the length and access of the line, so we provide upfront estimates before any work begins. In many cases the camera inspection is folded into the repair we recommend once we have seen the footage.
