Frequently Asked Questions
What types of problems can sewer camera inspection identify? Our high-resolution camera systems can identify a wide range of sewer line issues including blockages, root intrusion, cracks, breaks, collapsed sections, bellied pipes (improper slope), offset joints, scale buildup, grease accumulation, and improper connections. We can also verify the pipe material and diameter to ensure appropriate repair methods.
How far can your cameras inspect inside sewer lines? Our standard residential inspection equipment can typically access up to 125 feet from an entry point, while our advanced municipal inspection systems can traverse several hundred feet of pipeline. Multiple access points can be utilized for longer runs or complex systems.
Do I need to prepare my sewer line before inspection? For optimal results, the line should be relatively clear of water and debris. In some cases, we recommend hydro-jetting the line before inspection for maximum visibility. Our technicians will advise if preliminary cleaning is necessary based on your specific situation.
How accurate is the location information from video inspections? Our advanced systems incorporate precise distance counters and locator transmitters that allow us to pinpoint issues within inches of their actual location. This accuracy dramatically reduces excavation scope and associated costs for repairs.
Will I be able to see the video inspection results? Absolutely! Our technicians provide real-time viewing during the inspection process, allowing you to see exactly what we’re seeing. All findings are recorded digitally, and we provide these recordings along with our professional analysis and recommendations.
