What is a Sewer Video Inspection?
When you book a sewer camera inspection, we utilize a sewer or drain camera inspection. This is a non-invasive way for us to look deep down into your pipes, using a specialized camera tool that feeds down into your plumbing.
Benefits of Sewer and Drain Camera Inspection
- Professional drain camera inspection done is a smart investment in the longevity of your sewage system. It’s a safe procedure that won’t damage your pipes. It allows us to locate the exact spot where the problem’s occurring, and to pinpoint what is happening. This lets us get to the root of the issue without wasting time or having to dig up parts of your yard to look at your plumbing.
- You can also schedule a plumbing inspection to prevent leaks, blockages, and collapsed pipes, because we’ll have the opportunity to identify existing issues before they become a big problem. Early detection will save you money and help you avoid a stressful plumbing emergency in the future.
How It Works: Our Camera Inspection Process
Elite Rooter provides expert sewer inspections near you, at your convenience. Whether you’re experiencing serious issues and need emergency repairs or you want a preventative inspection with a drain cam, you can book in with us, and we’ll arrive on time, ready to take a look.
During your drain camera inspection, a licensed plumber will use a small camera attached to a long, flexible cable to look inside your pipes. The sewer scope is fed down from the drain or in through the sewer cleanout into your plumbing system, so the plumbers can then see what the problem is. This makes it easier to find the exact location of the clog, what it’s made of, or anything else that’s causing your plumbing backups, leaks, and other issues.
A sewer camera can also check whether the clog has been fully cleared out after drain cleaning.

What Sewer Cameras Can Do
Sewer and drain cameras are useful in many scenarios. The following are some of the most common ways they’re used.
Locate lines
Some sewer cameras can be used to locate underground sewer lines and pipes. The camera is fed through the plumbing, and then, using a transmitter, it sends a signal to a “locator” that will help your plumber find the exact location of the camera and how deep it is underground. This is useful when there’s a collapsed sewer line or other issue that requires digging or trenchless pipe repair.
Detect drainage or stoppage issues
If your pipes aren’t draining, a camera can help pinpoint exactly where the blockage is. This will aid in determining what has gone wrong, like if there’s a grease clog or the pipe has collapsed, and the best way to fix it.
Find sewer line blockages or tree root intrusions
A plumbing camera will show sewer line tree root intrusions and other blockages, even if they’re far down in the plumbing system. It’s the easiest, least invasive method to find and identify these obstructions.
Identify grease buildup, clogs, and obstructions
If your plumber’s considering cleaning your drain with hydro jetting, or cleaning the sewer pipeline with a pressure washer, the first step is usually to run a drain camera down to check what type of blockage they’re dealing with, to make sure their proposed cleaning method will be effective.
Detect pipe corrosion and deterioration
A thorough camera inspection will give your plumber a good idea of the materials your pipes are made of and their overall condition. This includes cracks, corrosion, and deterioration that could lead to contamination, leaks, and blockages.
Detect collapsed, misaligned, or damaged pipes
If you suspect your plumbing needs repair, your plumber may use a camera to look for collapsing or misaligned pipes and other damage. Finding the cause of your low water pressure, water leaks, or other issues first will make repairs easier (and faster), saving you money in the long run.
Help avoid unnecessary plumbing repairs
Your sewer line inspection will provide visual confirmation of what’s happening inside pipes that are hidden in your walls, floor, ceiling, concrete, or yard. This will tell plumbers exactly what’s wrong, so they can avoid guessing and making unnecessary plumbing and sewer line repairs.
When To Schedule Drain Camera Services
It may be time for a drain camera inspection when:
- Backups are happening in your toilet, sinks, and/or bathtub.
- You have more than one slow or clogged drain at one time.
- You’ve noticed more frequent, recurring clogs anywhere in your house.
- You hear gurgling sounds coming from the pipes or the drains.
- You have signs of a sewage leak in your yard, like bright green patches of grass or a persistent sewage smell.
- Your yard has mature trees growing near your sewage lines.
- Your home is over 30 years old.
- There are signs of water damage to the floors, walls, or foundation.
- Late fall arrives, before the first frost, to prevent freezing weather from worsening existing cracks and small blockages.
- It’s been over a year, especially if you have had issues like tree root intrusions in the past.
It’s also prudent to schedule a camera inspection before you do a big home renovation project that involves the plumbing system, and before you buy a house, to make sure you’re not buying big future problems along with it.
Most Common Problems Detected by Sewer Camera Inspections
Sewer cameras most often detect:
- Grease or debris blockages
- Mold and mildew buildup
