What we do

What this service includes

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.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Does the sewer line need to be cleared before camera inspection?

Usually, yes. Standing wastewater and a solid blockage can stop the camera or hide the pipe wall. We often clear the line first, then inspect it while access is open.

Can a sewer camera identify the exact cause of every backup?

A camera shows visible conditions in the accessible pipe, but it cannot see through a solid blockage or always prove what is happening outside the pipe. We combine the video with flow checks, location, and service history.

What should I provide from a prior sewer inspection?

Share the video or report, the cleanout used, marked locations, pipe material, previous clearing method, and any repair estimate you received. We can review that information before repeating work.

Can camera findings help plan a sewer-line repair?

Yes. The camera shows the visible condition and distance, while a locator marks the area above ground. We then confirm depth, access, utilities, and the repair method before quoting the work.
