Sewer Camera Inspection that shows you exactly what’s wrong before we quote a dollar.

WHAT IT IS

What a Sewer Camera Inspection actually shows.

A sewer camera inspection feeds a self-leveling, high-resolution camera through your cleanout and walks it all the way to the city tap while you watch on a monitor in real time. Every foot of pipe is recorded, timestamped, and logged.

Camera inspections eliminate guesswork. Instead of snaking blind or jetting based on a technician’s hunch, we see the actual defect — root intrusion at a specific joint, a grease column 22 feet in, a belly at 38 feet — and we pick the right fix for what the camera actually found.

Every sewer camera inspection includes a written defect report and HD footage on a USB drive that you keep. If you want a second opinion, the footage is yours to share. If the line is clean, we tell you so and you pay only for the inspection.

Camera inspections are the foundation of every LiningWorks drain and sewer service. We use them before snaking, before jetting, before lining, and after repair to verify the result.

WHAT IT FINDS

Four problems a Camera Inspection finds before they become emergencies.

A drain camera inspection takes under an hour on most residential lines. These are the four defects it finds most often — none of which are visible without a camera.

• Root intrusions at clay-tile or cast-iron joints

  Hairline roots that haven’t caused a backup yet — but will by next spring. Camera inspection finds them early so a spot liner seals the joint before the roots grow.
• Bellies and pipe sags causing standing water

  A sagged section holds waste at the low point and breeds repeat clogs. Camera inspection marks the exact depth so the repair is targeted and not a guess.
• Grease columns building toward a full blockage

  A grease mass at 30% fill on a camera inspection is a straightforward hydro jetting job. At 90% fill it’s an emergency. Catch it on camera first.
• Corroded pipe walls in cast iron or older clay tile

  From the outside the pipe looks fine. The camera shows the wall thinning from the inside — a lining job done now is far cheaper than a replacement later.

BEFORE & AFTER

Camera Inspection before and after: a Plaza Midwood cast-iron line.

A 1924 Plaza Midwood home with cast iron under the slab called with recurring slow drains. The camera inspection found two cracks and a root mass at the city-tap transition — 52 feet from the cleanout. No other company had run a camera.
