Sewer camera inspection: see what's really going on underground

We run a high-resolution camera down your sewer line and show you exactly what's there: roots, cracks, bellies, or a clean bill of health. You watch the footage with us, and you keep it. No guessing, and no pressure to fix what isn't broken.

When a sewer inspection pays off

Pick the closest match. Each one is a good reason to look before you spend.

  • Before you buy a home

    A sewer replacement can cost more than a roof, and a standard home inspection does not include a sewer camera. Scope it before you close, not after you move in.

    Schedule an inspection
  • Repeat backups

    If a drain keeps backing up after snaking, a camera finds out why instead of treating it again and again.

    Schedule an inspection
  • Before a remodel or ADU

    Adding bathrooms or a unit? Confirm the existing line can handle it before the walls go up.

    Schedule an inspection
  • An older home or big trees

    Many Sonoma County homes still have decades-old clay pipe, and mature roots find every joint. Know what you've got.

What the camera reveals

This is what we find before it floods your home

The failures that cause backups and sewage damage happen underground, where you can't see them until a camera does. Each finding points to a targeted fix instead of digging blind.

  • Tree roots invading old clay pipe at the joints, the most common sewer failure under Sonoma County's older homes
  • Cracks and offset joints that let water out and roots in
  • Bellies and sags where the line holds water and solids settle
  • Blockages, located and marked with their exact spot and depth from above ground

What you get

Sewer camera inspection, end to end

Camera inspection & diagnosis

A high-resolution camera travels the full accessible line, from cleanout to main, while you watch on screen. We pinpoint cracks, root intrusion, bellies, and blockages to the foot, so any repair targets the right spot instead of digging blind.

  • Residential camera inspection
  • Commercial camera inspection
  • Pre-purchase inspection
  • Recurring-backup diagnosis
  • Root-intrusion check
  • Drain camera inspection
  • Line locating & depth
  • Belly & sag detection

Reporting & next steps

Every inspection comes with a recorded CCTV video and a clear written summary of what we found: solid documentation for your records, your realtor, or your contractor. We also locate the line and mark its depth, so any future work starts mapped.

Sewer inspection questions, answered straight

How much does a sewer inspection cost?

It's a flat, upfront price we give you before we come out, far less than the repair it can help you avoid. No hourly surprises.

Should I inspect before buying a home?

Yes, especially on older homes. A standard home inspection does not include a sewer camera, and the lateral is one of the costliest things on a property to replace.

What can a sewer camera find?

Tree roots, cracks, offset joints, bellies where the pipe sags and holds water, and blockages. We mark each problem's location and depth so any repair targets the right spot. Sometimes the answer is a healthy line, and we tell you that too.

Do you have to dig up my yard?

No. A camera inspection is no-dig by design. We run the camera through an existing cleanout or access point and see the whole line from the inside. And if we do find damage, trenchless repair options can often fix it through small access points, too.

Can you tell exactly where the problem is?

Yes. The camera carries a locator beacon, so we can mark the problem's exact spot and depth from above ground before anyone lifts a shovel. You watch the footage with us, keep a copy to share with your agent or for a second opinion, and we can email the written summary.

My drain keeps backing up. Do I need an inspection?

Usually, yes. If a drain keeps backing up after snaking, a camera finds out why instead of treating it again and again. If the line just needs clearing, see drain cleaning.

Does Healdsburg require a sewer inspection when I sell?

Not because of the sale alone. The city requires a sewer lateral video inspection in six situations, and selling a home is not one of them. See our Healdsburg sewer lateral guide for when you need one.
