When to camera a sewer line
A camera inspection is useful when a main-line blockage returns, roots or damaged pipe were found before, a home is being purchased, or a repair estimate needs a clear look at the pipe. The line usually must be open enough for the camera to travel.
What the camera can show
Video may reveal roots, heavy buildup, cracks, offsets, separated joints, crushed pipe, standing water, changes in material, and the location of an obstruction. We record the distance from the cleanout and use a locator when a repair area must be marked above ground.
Recorded findings and a written recommendation
We show you the sewer-camera video and explain whether the line needs cleaning, repair, or replacement. If repair is needed, we mark the location and give you the access plan, permit requirements, repair options, and price before digging or replacing pipe.
Private sewer laterals in Riverside
Riverside homeowners maintain the private lateral from the home to the property line. A camera and locator can document whether visible trouble appears on the private side and provide useful footage when the city needs to be contacted about a lower-line issue.
