Sewer Line Camera Inspection Services

YJ Sewer & Drain provides a way to get a closer look at your sewer lines without invasive procedures.

When to Schedule an Inspection

A sewer camera inspection may be necessary when drainage problems continue or when you don’t know the condition of a sewer line.

YJ Sewer & Drain provides reliable sewer video inspection services. Schedule an inspection if you notice:

  • Recurring sewer backups
  • Repeated clogs in the same line
  • Unpleasant odors
  • Suspected tree root intrusion
  • Possible sewer damage
  • Slow drainage even after cleaning
  • Unexplained sewer line problems

What a Sewer Camera Can Find

A sewer line camera inspection can provide a view of the conditions inside the pipe. Depending on the situation, common findings include:

  • Blockages
  • Cracks
  • Tree root intrusion
  • Separated joints
  • Pipe deterioration
  • Standing water
  • Collapsed sections
  • Other visible conditions

How the Inspection Works

YJ Sewer & Drain delivers video pipe inspection services. We insert a specialized sewer camera into the line and move it through the pipe while transmitting video.

Our technician can evaluate the pipe’s condition and identify visible obstructions, damage, roots, standing water, and other hindrances. This will allow us to locate the problem and recommend corrective action.

Preparing the Sewer Line

Cameras are only effective when there is a clear view of the sewer line. To ensure this, we clear heavy blockages beforehand to prepare the pathway.

Depending on the line’s condition, preparation may include:

  • Clearing a heavy blockage
  • Removing roots or other obstructions
  • Rodding the line
  • Hydro jetting accumulated buildup
  • Identifying an appropriate access point

After that, we can conduct the sewer pipe camera inspection.

Inspection Results and Next Steps

As part of our CCTV sewer inspection service, we review the inspection findings to help determine the appropriate course of action. Additional services may be recommended depending on the sewer line diagnosis.

Clear Line

If the line is relatively clear and no significant damage is visible, we may recommend monitoring or routine maintenance.

Buildup or Obstruction

If our drain camera inspection identifies a blockage, we may recommend sewer rodding or hydro jetting.

Damage

If our inspection finds cracks, root intrusion, separated joints, collapsed sections, or other damage, we can discuss further whether additional repair or rehabilitation is necessary.
