What is a Sewer Line Inspection?
Sewer Line Inspection Services

A sewer line inspection is a diagnostic service that allows plumbers to examine the inside of your sewer pipes to identify problems that may be affecting your plumbing system. Using specialized sewer camera technology, a waterproof camera is inserted into the sewer line to provide a real-time view of the pipe’s condition.

At Bob Jay’s Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we use advanced sewer camera inspections to locate issues such as clogs, tree root intrusion, pipe damage, grease buildup, and other sewer line concerns without unnecessary digging. This process helps homeowners understand the condition of their sewer system and make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance.

Accurate Sewer Inspections for Faster, Smarter Repairs

Sewer camera inspections help identify hidden problems such as tree root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe damage, and blockages without unnecessary digging. Whether you’re dealing with recurring drain issues, purchasing a home, or evaluating an older sewer system, a professional inspection provides the information needed to diagnose problems early and recommend the most effective repair solution.

Can Sewer Camera Inspections Find Tree Root Intrusion?

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems. Roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer pipes through small cracks, joints, or openings.

Once inside, roots continue to grow and restrict the flow of wastewater. A video inspection allows us to determine the location and severity of the root intrusion and recommend the most effective repair options.

Can Sewer Inspections Identify Grease Buildup?

Grease, fats, oils, and food residue can accumulate along the interior walls of drain lines over time. As the buildup increases, water flow becomes restricted and blockages become more common.

If significant grease buildup is identified during the inspection, we may recommend hydro jetting to thoroughly clean the line and restore proper flow.

When Should I Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection?

A sewer inspection may be recommended if you are experiencing recurring drain clogs, slow drainage, sewer odors, backups, or unexplained plumbing issues. Sewer camera inspections are also valuable when purchasing a home or evaluating the condition of an older sewer system.

Early detection of sewer line problems can help prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.
