Video Pipe Inspections/Sewer Scope
What is a Video Pipe Inspection
Think of a video pipe inspection like an MRI or an endoscopic camera for your home’s plumbing. Instead of digging up your yard or tearing open walls to guess where a leak or clog is, we feed a flexible, high-definition fiber-optic camera directly through your pipes to see the exact issue in real time.
When should I get a video pipe inspection?
🏡 Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
Standard home inspections do not look inside underground sewer lines. A dedicated sewer scope ensures you don't inherit hidden thousands of dollars in collapsed clay or rusted cast iron pipes beneath a historic property.
🔁 Recurring Drain Clogs & Backups
If you have snaked the same toilet, tub, or main cleanout multiple times in a year, the problem is deeper than a simple hair clog. A camera inspection reveals the exact structural root cause.
🌳 Mature Trees on the Property
Large oak, cypress, or magnolia trees search for moisture, frequently exploiting tiny hairline cracks in clay, concrete, or aging cast iron lines.
🏗️ Pre-Remodel or Slab Additions
Before pouring a new concrete slab, adding a bathroom, or remodeling flooring, verify your existing drainage infrastructure can handle the load and has zero undetected fractures.
FAQ
Q: How far can your sewer cameras reach?
A: Our commercial-grade push cameras can inspect sewer laterals up to 200–300 feet, easily covering the distance from residential cleanouts all the way to the municipal main connection.
Q: Do I get a copy of the video footage?
A: Yes. We provide customers with a direct digital link or USB recording of the full inspection, complete with on-screen footage and technician voiceover notes.
Q: Can a sewer camera clear the clog while inspecting?
A: The camera is strictly a diagnostic tool designed to view and map the pipe without damaging the camera head or lines. Once we diagnose the blockage, we deploy the appropriate clearing tool (such as hydro-jetting or mechanical augers).
