Sewer Camera Inspections

A sewer line problem is not always easy to diagnose from the surface. Slow drains, repeated clogs, sewer odors, and backups can point to several possible issues underground. A sewer camera inspection helps locate the problem without guessing.

Reed’s Plumbing, Excavating, Septic, Heating & Air uses sewer camera inspection services to evaluate the inside of sewer lines and identify blockages, breaks, root intrusion, pipe sagging, buildup, and other damage. With a clear view of the line, our team can recommend the right next step.

Sewer Camera Inspection

A sewer camera inspection uses a specialized waterproof camera that travels through the sewer line. The camera sends live video back to the technician, allowing us to see what is happening inside the pipe.

This inspection can determine whether the issue is caused by a clog, a cracked pipe, a collapsed section, tree roots, grease buildup, an offset joint, or another obstruction. Instead of relying on symptoms alone, Reed’s can use the camera findings to guide the repair plan.

When to Schedule a Sewer Inspection Camera Service

A sewer inspection camera service is useful when drain or sewer problems keep coming back. It can also help before major repair work begins, especially when the line may need excavation or replacement.

You may need a camera inspection if you notice:

• Drains clogging again after cleaning

• Multiple drains backing up at once

• Gurgling toilets or floor drains

• Sewage odors in or around the home

• Water backing up into tubs, showers, or basement drains

• Wet or sunken areas in the yard

• Suspected tree root intrusion

• Older sewer lines with recurring problems

• A need to confirm the pipe condition before repair or replacement

A camera inspection can help separate a simple blockage from a more serious sewer line issue.

What a Sewer Camera Can Find

A sewer camera gives technicians a direct look inside the pipe. Depending on the condition of the line, it may reveal:

• Tree roots growing into the pipe

• Cracks or breaks

• Collapsed pipe sections

• Offset or separated joints

• Grease, sludge, or scale buildup

• Foreign objects

• Low spots where waste collects

• Pipe corrosion or deterioration

• Improper slope

• Blockages that need cleaning or removal

Once the issue is identified, Reed’s can explain whether cleaning, repair, excavation, or sewer line replacement is the best option.

Why Camera Inspections Matter

Without a camera inspection, sewer problems can be difficult to diagnose accurately. The same symptoms can come from different causes. A recurring clog may be caused by buildup, but it may also be caused by roots, a broken pipe, or a sagging section that traps waste.

A sewer camera inspection helps reduce guesswork. It allows the technician to see the pipe’s condition, locate the problem, and recommend service based on what is actually happening underground.

Sewer Camera Inspections Before Repairs

Camera inspections are especially helpful before sewer line repair or replacement. If the damaged section can be located, the repair plan can be more targeted. If the pipe is damaged in several places, replacement may be the more reliable option.

Reed’s provides plumbing, sewer, and excavation services, so our team can use the inspection results to plan the work properly. That matters when the solution involves digging, replacing pipe, or correcting drainage issues near the sewer line.
