Sewer Camera Inspection
See Inside Your Pipes Before You Dig
Sewer camera inspection is the fastest, most accurate way to find out what’s really going on inside your pipes, and it’s a tool we rely on for homes and businesses throughout La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Montrose, Glendale, and Burbank. Instead of guessing at what’s causing a slow drain or recurring backup, we insert a waterproof, high-resolution camera directly into your line so we can see cracks, blockages, corrosion, and misaligned joints in real time — no guesswork, and no unnecessary digging.
Every inspection is performed by a licensed (California C-36 #1027398), insured technician, and we walk you through exactly what the camera finds as we go. If a repair turns out to be necessary, you’ll know precisely where the problem is and how severe it is before we ever break ground, which keeps repairs faster, more targeted, and less expensive.
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Services Include:
High-Definition Video Diagnostics: We insert a waterproof, high-resolution camera directly into your sewer or drain line to pinpoint cracks, blockages, corrosion, and misaligned pipe joints in real time.
Pre-Purchase & Pre-Repair Inspections: Buying a home or planning a renovation? A camera inspection reveals the true condition of your sewer line before you commit, helping you avoid costly surprises.
Locate & Map Problem Areas: Our cameras include locating technology that pinpoints the exact depth and location of an issue, so any necessary repair is precise and minimally invasive.
Post-Repair & Post-Jetting Verification: After a repair or hydro jetting service, we can re-inspect the line to confirm the issue is fully resolved and your pipes are clear.
Recorded Findings: We can provide recorded video footage of the inspection, which is especially useful for real estate transactions, insurance claims, or getting a second opinion.
A sewer camera inspection is one of the best investments you can make before a major repair decision — it takes the guesswork out of the equation. You can verify our license anytime through the California Contractors State License Board. Ready to see what’s really going on in your pipes? Call us at (818) 790-7270 or request service online.

Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera inspection puts a video head down the line so we can see the actual interior condition of a sewer or drain pipe. It replaces guesswork with evidence — and it is what turns “we think the line is bad” into a specific defect at a specific distance and depth.
When an inspection is worth doing
- A line that keeps backing up after being cleared
- Multiple fixtures draining slowly or backing up together
- Suspected root intrusion, particularly on older clay or cast-iron laterals
- Before authorising excavation or a major repair, so the scope is known
- Before buying a property, or when taking on management of an older building
- After a repair, to confirm the line is clear and correctly restored
What the camera shows
Root masses and where they are entering, cracked or collapsed sections, offset or separated joints, bellies where water stands, heavy scale or grease coating, foreign objects, and pipe material and diameter changes along the run. Paired with line locating, we can mark the position and depth of a defect at the surface — which is what keeps any excavation targeted instead of exploratory.
Diagnostic support for repair planning
The inspection is usually the step before a decision. Depending on what it shows, the answer may be clearing the line, hydro jetting to remove build-up, a spot repair, or replacing a section — see sewer line repair & replacement. If a line simply needs clearing, we say so; an inspection that rules out a big repair is a good outcome.
For managed and commercial properties
Footage and written findings give a board, owner or manager something concrete to review before approving work, and repeat inspections build a record of how a line is changing over time. See HOA & property management plumbing and preventive maintenance.
FAQs
Does the line need to be clear first? Usually yes — a camera cannot see through standing water or a solid blockage, so clearing or jetting often comes first.
Can you tell exactly where the problem is? With locating equipment, yes — position and approximate depth can be marked at the surface.
Do I get to see the footage? Yes, on request — useful when a board, owner or insurer needs to review it.
