About This Service
What Is Sewer Camera Inspection?
Sewer Camera Inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic method where NASSCO-certified technicians guide a waterproof, high-definition camera through a cleanout or trap to evaluate internal pipe integrity in real-time.
Pipe Defects Identified:
- Root Intrusions: Tree and shrub roots penetrating pipe joints.
- Offset Joints & Fractures: Shifted pipe segments, cracks, and structural collapses.
- Sagging Bellies: Low points caused by soil settlement or bedding erosion that trap standing water and solids.
- Scale & Grease Build-up: Heavy corrosion and grease accumulation restricting flow.
Why TrenchlessPHX
Why Choose Our Sewer Camera Inspection
Sewer Camera Inspection is the technical foundation for trenchless sewer repair because it provides exact measurements and defect mapping required for liner sizing. Our qualified technicians use CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) lining and pipe bursting equipment to restore pipes without excavation.
- NASSCO Certification Standard Our technicians hold certifications from the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO), ensuring pipeline condition ratings follow standardized national defect coding.
- Accessible Pipe Segment Diagnosis HD cameras provide clear visual confirmation of defects in accessible pipe segments. Note: If a line is completely blocked by an impassable root mass or solid collapse, we perform initial hydro-jetting or snaking to clear a path before completing the video scope.
- Sagging Belly Identification We pinpoint sagging bellies—low points caused by soil settlement or pipe bedding erosion that trap water and debris—using sonde transmitters and surface locators.
- Industry-Leading Warranties 20+ year warranties on CIPP and bursting, plus guaranteed results on all methods
- 24/7 Emergency Response Available nights, weekends, and holidays for sewage backups, collapses, and blockages
The Process
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
Sewer Camera Inspection starts with access planning, then we record and report findings so you can choose the right trenchless solution.
1
Initial Assessment:
We confirm the problem and the pipe layout. We ask about backups, cleanout access, fixture behavior, and prior repairs, then we choose the best entry point.
2
Equipment Setup:
We set up equipment and protect the site. We open the cleanout or access point, stage the reel and monitor, and verify camera lighting and self leveling orientation.
3
Camera Inspection:
We advance the camera and inspect in pipe conditions. We navigate the line, observe joints and fittings, measure distance with an odometer, and call out defects as we see them.
4
Locate & Mark:
We locate and mark the target area. If we find a break, belly, or root intrusion, we activate the sonde and trace the line from the surface to mark depth and position.
5
Document Results:
We document and review results. We timestamp key moments, capture snapshots, code defects when needed, then upload or export the video and report.
6
Recommendations & Quotes:
We recommend next steps and quote work. We’ll estimate cleaning, spot repair, CIPP lining, or pipe bursting based on confirmed conditions.
Suitability Check
Signs You Need Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer Line Replacement is the right call when a sewer lateral has structural failure that cleaning, descaling, or spot repair won’t restore.
- Sewer backups keep returning after snaking. A snake can punch a small path through roots or grease, then debris rebuilds. A camera inspection detects root mass, scale, or an offset joint that keeps catching solids.
- Drains run slow across multiple fixtures. When a toilet, shower, and sink all gurgle or drain slowly, the issue often sits in the building sewer or sewer lateral. Scoping can trace a sagging belly, standing water, or partial blockage that restricts flow.
- You suspect a collapse or major break. Sudden backups, soil settlement, or recurring clogs after heavy use can point to a cracked, fractured, or collapsed section. The camera confirms structural condition and shows whether the line is repairable or needs replacement.
- You smell sewage or see wet spots outdoors. Seepage, exfiltration, or infiltration can show up as odor, soggy soil, or unexplained water near the route. Video inspection can identify open joints, holes, and joint separation, then a locator can pinpoint the spot.
- You need documentation for a purchase, remodel, or permit. Many buyers and property managers want recorded proof. We capture footage, log observations, and provide an inspection report you can archive and share.
Brands We Use
Sewer Camera Inspection depends on reliable optics, accurate locating, and rugged field gear, and we choose proven manufacturers our technicians trust.
We commonly work with RIDGID SeeSnake systems, Spartan Tool cameras, and General Pipe Cleaners inspection platforms for push camera work. For crawler and municipal grade inspections, we often rely on Envirosight, Aries Industries, iPEK, CUES, and Hathorn cameras and control units. For locating and tracing, we use Radiodetection and Vivax Metrotech locators and sondes to pinpoint depth and route with consistent results.
Safety stays part of every inspection. We secure the cleanout area, manage cables to prevent trips, wear protective gloves and eye protection, and keep equipment disinfected after contact with sanitary lines. We also watch for active flow and pressure changes so the crew avoids splash back and exposure while recording clear, usable inspection footage.
