What We Look for During a Sewer Camera Inspection

During an inspection, we may evaluate the accessible sewer line for root intrusion, cracks, broken or separated piping, offsets at pipe joints, heavy buildup, obstructions, low areas or bellies, corrosion, and other visible conditions that may interfere with proper drainage. When appropriate, locating equipment can also be used to help identify the position and approximate route of underground piping.

Camera Inspection Before Sewer Repair

Before recommending excavation or a major sewer repair, GMP Plumbing can use a sewer camera inspection to help identify the location and nature of the problem. This can reduce unnecessary digging and helps us develop a repair plan based on the actual condition of the sewer line rather than guesswork.

If grease, sludge, roots, scale, or other buildup prevents the camera from clearly viewing the pipe, the line may need to be cleaned first. GMP also provides hydro jetting and sewer cleaning services when appropriate.

Real Estate Sewer Camera Inspections

For homeowners, buyers, sellers, property managers, and real estate professionals, a sewer camera inspection can provide useful information about the condition of an accessible sewer line before a property changes ownership. Older piping may contain roots, deterioration, offsets, or previous repairs that are not visible from the surface.
