— Common questions

Sewer Camera Inspection, answered.

When should I get a camera inspection?
Before buying a home, if you have recurring backups, or if your sewer line is over 30 years old. It's also smart before any major landscaping that might disturb underground lines.
Do you have to dig to inspect?
No. We access the line through existing cleanouts -- no excavation needed for inspection. If you don't have a cleanout, we can install one quickly.
How long does it take?
A typical residential inspection takes 30-60 minutes including the written report. We walk you through the findings on-screen before we leave.
Will I get video footage?
Yes. We provide HD video of the entire inspection plus screenshots of any issues found. Everything is emailed to you in a format you can share with contractors or insurance.
