What Is Sewer Camera Inspection?

Sewer camera inspection, also known as CCTV sewer inspection or drain camera inspection, uses specialized waterproof cameras to examine the inside of your sewer pipes. Our pipe camera inspection process involves inserting a flexible cable with a high-resolution camera through your sewer cleanouts or drain openings.

The camera travels through your pipes while recording video footage that appears on our monitors in real-time. This underground camera inspection method lets us see blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other problems without digging up your yard.
