COMMON SYMPTOMS
When a Camera Inspection May Be Useful
Not every drainage problem requires a camera inspection. It becomes more useful when the problem is difficult to locate or continues after previous cleaning.
01
The Same Problem Returns
A drain may work normally for a while and then develop the same problem again. Looking inside the line can provide more information about the recurring restriction.
01
You Cannot Locate the Blockage
When the affected section is farther inside the drainage system, the visible symptoms may not show exactly where the problem is.
01
Several Fixtures Share the Problem
When related drainage issues appear in different fixtures, an inspection can provide information about the shared section of the drainage system.
01
The Cause Is Uncertain
If the symptoms do not clearly indicate what is happening inside the line, viewing the interior can provide useful information.
01
Previous Cleaning Did Not Resolve the Issue
When a drainage problem remains or returns after cleaning, seeing the affected section may help explain why.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
What a Sewer Camera Inspection Is Used For
A sewer camera inspection is a diagnostic service. Its main purpose is to provide a direct view inside a suitable drain or sewer line.
Finding a Visible Restriction
The camera can travel through the line and help identify the position of a visible obstruction.
Examining Buildup
Material accumulated along the inside of the line may be visible during the inspection.
Checking a Recurring Problem
When the same section of a line repeatedly causes trouble, an inspection can provide a closer look at that area.
WHAT WE CHECK
What the Camera Can Show
The camera provides information that cannot always be gathered from the fixture above the line.
Inside of the line
The camera provides a view of the interior of a suitable drain or sewer line.
Visible blockages
Obstructions that come into view can be identified and located.
Buildup
Accumulated material along the inside of the line may be visible.
Root intrusion
In some underground sewer lines, roots entering through joints or damaged areas may be visible.
Problem location
The inspection can help establish where a visible issue is situated.
Accessible sections
What can be inspected depends on the available access and condition of the line.
What We See Inside the Line
The camera can show where a blockage or buildup is located and whether there is another visible problem inside the line.
PROBLEM GUIDE
What Can Be Found Inside a Drain or Sewer Line?
A camera inspection may reveal different conditions that are difficult to identify from outside the line.
A Blockage
A mass of material can restrict the passage inside the line and interfere with normal drainage.
Grease or Other Buildup
Deposits can collect along the interior surface and gradually reduce the available space for water to move through.
Debris
Objects or accumulated household material may become lodged inside a line and contribute to drainage problems.
Root Intrusion
Roots can enter some underground sewer lines through joints or damaged sections. An inspection may show visible root growth inside the line.
A Recurring Restriction
If the same location repeatedly causes trouble, a camera can provide a closer view of that section.
