Sewer Camera Inspection
See the Real Problem
What a Camera Reveals That Guesswork Misses
A sewer camera inspection gives us a clear, real-time view inside your drain line—so we can find cracks, collapsed sections, root intrusions, or grease build-up without tearing up your yard. Homeowners across Fallston, Shelby, and Lawndale count on this plumbing camera inspection to diagnose recurring clogs and plan the smartest fix.
When a Video Inspection Makes Sense
If you’re buying an older home near Uptown Shelby, dealing with backups after heavy rain, or noticing slow drains throughout the house, a camera inspection helps confirm whether you need spot repairs or a full line replacement. The sewer scope also records depth and location, so repairs are faster and more accurate.
Our Technology and Process, Step by Step
We feed a waterproof, high-definition camera through an accessible cleanout to inspect the pipe from your home to the tap. As we move through the line, we mark where problems appear and note depth measurements. With those details we can recommend the right next step—anything from targeted hydro jetting to a section repair. You’ll understand the findings and the plan before any work begins.
Straight Answers to Common Questions
How do I know if I need a camera inspection?
If you’re dealing with repeat clogs, backups after rain, or slow drains across multiple fixtures, a camera shows exactly what’s happening inside the line. In Fallston, Shelby, Lawndale, and nearby neighborhoods, we recommend starting with a camera before choosing cleaning or repairs.
What happens during the inspection?
We locate an access point (usually an exterior or interior cleanout), feed a waterproof camera through the line, and record depth and location of any issues. You’ll get a plain-English summary of findings and recommended next steps before any additional work begins.
What if my home doesn’t have a cleanout?
We can often access the line by pulling a toilet or using a roof vent, then reinstall and test everything afterward. If a permanent cleanout is a good idea for future maintenance, we’ll explain options and pricing.
Will you clear the clog during the same visit?
If the camera finds a blockage that’s best solved by cleaning, we can proceed with cabling or hydro jetting once you approve the estimate. Many problems are resolved the same day.
What if the line is damaged?
Cracks, offsets, or collapsed sections call for repair or replacement. Your report will include the location and depth so excavation is targeted and efficient, minimizing yard disturbance from Belwood to Waco.
How long does a camera inspection take?
Most residential inspections take about an hour, depending on access and line length. Complex systems or heavy debris can add time; we’ll let you know upfront.
Do you provide video or images?
We provide a summary of findings and can share images or short clips when feasible. The key details—location, depth, and the nature of the issue—are always documented for your records and for insurance or real-estate needs.
How much does it cost?
You’ll receive an upfront estimate before we start. Our standard service work is billed at $125 per hour, and any additional cleaning or repair is quoted separately so there are no surprises.
