What Is a Sewer Line Video Inspection Camera?
A video line inspection camera is a highly advanced diagnostic tool used by the expert plumbers at M5 Plumbing Services, Inc. to visually inspect the inside of sewer lines, drain lines, and connection pipes in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. This camera inspection service allows our team to locate blockages, root intrusions, or pipe damage without the need for digging or replacing large sections of pipe, saving property owners time, money, and stress.
Our pipeline video inspection system uses a high-resolution inspection camera mounted on a flexible cable. The camera head can tilt and swivel for a full 360-degree view and is equipped with LED lights for digital imagery in dark underground plumbing. The live feed is displayed on monitors inside our service vehicle, where our licensed plumbers can analyze your sewer system in real time. We can also record and provide a detailed report for your records or home inspection documentation.
The equipment is powered by our service truck, which contains a low-voltage generator, video recording gear, and a winch that extends and retrieves the camera. Access to your sewer pipe is typically achieved through a clean out, a pipe fitting located near the home’s perimeter, crawl space, or basement, allowing us to reach even the farthest sections of your main sewer line without excavation.
When Should You Schedule a Sewer Line Camera Inspection?
It’s important to request a sewer scope inspection or video pipe inspection when you suspect hidden plumbing problems or experience any of the following warning signs:
- Persistent sewage odor indoors or outdoors
- Sinkholes or soggy patches forming in your yard
- Slow-draining sinks, showers, or tubs
- Repeated drain cleaning without lasting results
- Gurgling noises coming from drains or toilets
A sewer line camera inspection helps identify whether your plumbing issues stem from root interference, aging pipes, debris buildup, or broken joints. Using advanced video equipment, our team can verify if your line is fully cleared after hydrojetting or sewer line repair.
For home inspectors and property buyers, a sewer scope inspection is also a vital part of any home inspection, helping uncover potential sewer line problems before closing on a sale.
Without this technology, diagnosing underground plumbing issues often involves guesswork and unnecessary digging. Our video inspection cameras eliminate uncertainty and provide cost-effective solutions through accurate, real-time visibility.
What Happens After the Camera Inspection?
Once our plumbers complete your sewer line video inspection, we review the findings in detail. If we identify simple blockages caused by buildup or sediment, we often recommend a hydrojetting service. This powerful cleaning method uses high-pressure water to clear your sewer pipes safely, restoring proper flow without damaging your plumbing.
If our inspection reveals root intrusions, cracked sewer pipes, or collapsed lines, we’ll suggest the most effective and affordable repair method. Options may include pipe repairs, sewer line replacements, or trenchless sewer solutions, depending on the extent of the damage and condition of your plumbing system.
