A sewer line is out of sight, which makes it easy to guess wrong about what's going on. A CCTV inspection replaces guesswork with video evidence.
What a camera can show
Roots, cracks, offset joints, sagging sections, grease build-up and collapsed pipe are all visible on camera, along with the approximate distance from the access point.
Why it saves money
Knowing the exact problem and location means repairs can be targeted. In many cases, a line that seemed to need replacing only needs cleaning or a localised repair.
When to book one
Before buying an older home, before a basement development, when clogs keep returning, or after a backup — these are the moments a camera inspection pays off most.
