Benefits of Getting Sewer Camera Inspection
You probably don’t lay awake at night worrying about your plumbing, but there is likely trouble brewing that could be disastrous if left alone. And what’s worse is that most people don’t know there are problems until it’s too late. Here are five good reasons to call an expert for CCTV inspection:
- Locate small leaks before they become big ones
- Identify problems without expensive digging
- Find out what condition your pipes are in and replace them before they burst
- Video inspection provides video as a reference for your insurance company as proof of the condition of your pipes
- Saves money from not having to guess where the problem lies
How Sewer Camera Inspection Works
Back in the day, the only way to find out what condition your pipes were in was to dig them up. But thanks to advancements in technology, that’s not the case now. Plumbers can insert a specialized camera on a flexible cable down your pipes and into your sewer. The cable connects the feed to a closed-circuit display. This technology allows the inspector to see the state of your plumbing in real-time to identify problem areas. That means you’ll save money from having to dig up the pipes and guess what the problem could be.

Preparing for a Sewer Camera Inspection
Before scheduling a sewer camera inspection, it's important to prepare your home by clearing any obstructions around the sewer cleanout or access point. This will allow the plumber to easily access the sewer line and conduct the inspection.
Additionally, it's a good idea to have a basic understanding of your home's plumbing system, including the location of the sewer cleanout, to help guide the plumber during the inspection process.
What to Expect During the Inspection
During the sewer camera inspection, the plumber will insert a small camera into the sewer line to visually inspect the condition of the pipes. The camera will transmit images and video to a monitor, allowing the plumber to identify any issues, such as cracks, blockages, or tree root intrusion.
The entire inspection process typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the length and complexity of the sewer line. The plumber will provide a detailed report of their findings and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.
