Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection runs a waterproof camera through the line to show its condition: roots, cracks, offsets, bellies, buildup and pipe material.
Your call is connected to an independent plumbing provider, subject to availability in your area. Plumbing Nation may receive compensation when your call is connected with a participating provider. Providers are independent businesses.
Common signs
- Recurring clogs with no clear cause
- Buying an older home
- Before deciding on repair or replacement
- After root removal or jetting to confirm results
What the provider typically checks
The camera enters through a cleanout or a removed toilet. Many systems have a locator that shows where the problem is and how deep, so any repair can be targeted.
Before you call
Know where your cleanout is if possible. Ask whether you can receive the recorded footage.

Questions
Does a camera inspection fix anything?
No. It shows what is in the line so the right work can be planned.
Can the camera pass through a clog?
Usually the line needs to be opened first so the camera can travel the full length.
Who decides what the work will cost?
The independent provider sets the scope and the charges after looking at the problem. Confirm all details directly with the provider on the call.
