The purpose of a sewer camera inspection is to determine the condition of the home’s sewer lateral and to determine whether the system is functioning properly. Sewer camera inspections are performed before purchasing a home, when preparing for a large home improvement project, or if you are experiencing sewer issues such as slow drains or frequent sewer backups.
Now that you know you need an inspection, here is what you should expect:
Upon arrival, the inspector will have to look around to locate plumbing lines and access points so we ask that any pets on the property be restrained.
If any of the interested parties are present, they are welcome to view the video while in process. While making the sewer lateral inspection video, the inspector will discuss what they are seeing in the line and if it is open and in serviceable condition.
There are times when the inspector may not be able to see the entire sewer lateral due to a blockage or damage. Therefore, the sewer camera inspection will need to be rescheduled after the proper corrections, such as cabling or access to the stack, have been made.
Tape and flags may be placed on the ground surface to mark the location of damage or blockage found in the line.
