What is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection allows our team to perform an in-depth view of the sewer line, active blockages, potential problems, and helps us to determine the best steps to make a long lasting repair.

When to Perform a Sewer Camera Inspection

There are many times when a professional sewer camera inspection by our drain experts is recommended, whether active problems are present or not.  

• Older Properties. Most older properties in San Diego are built using clay or cast iron for sewer drain installations. While the materials are ideal for wastewater, they do break down over time. Clay is especially susceptible as it is installed in 5 foot sections connected with a rubber connector. The connection can wear over time allowing for easy access for root intrusion.

   

• Chronic Backups. Frequent backups indicate a larger issue in a sewer pipe. While normal blockages happen — roots, damaged lines, objects in the pipe, and poorly maintained pipes lead to constant problems. Backups can even lead to overflows and costly repairs.

Heavy Landscaping. Properties with extensive landscaping and large trees can experience broken drains due to roots. Roots from neighboring properties can even enter sewer lines, and there they cause extensive damage if left to grow. Performing a sewer camera inspection can view the extent of roots and if any damage has been caused to determine if hydro jetting or a more aggressive repair options is needed.
