Sewer Camera Inspection Camas WA

How Sewer Scope Inspections Work

A video sewer scope inspection uses a flexible, waterproof push-rod camera with high-intensity LED lighting. The technician introduces the camera head through an accessible exterior sewer cleanout or roof vent stack, navigating through the entire side sewer pipe out to the municipal connection in the street.

As the camera travels through the line, a self-leveling color monitor displays high-resolution footage. An integrated digital footage counter and electromagnetic transmitter (sonde) allow us to pinpoint the exact surface location and depth of any defect, eliminating unnecessary excavation.

What Our Video Footage Reveals

Our comprehensive video inspections identify critical subterranean plumbing defects:

• Tree Root Intrusion: Dense web-like root structures penetrating through pipe joints, capturing toilet paper and solid waste.
• Pipe Offsets & Joint Disconnections: Shifting hillside soils across Prune Hill can shear rigid pipe joints, creating offsets that snag solids and leak wastewater into the surrounding soil.
• Low Spots & Pipe Bellies: Sagging pipe sections where standing water accumulates, slowing flow velocity and creating chronic clogs.
• Corrosion, Cracks & Channeling: Deteriorated cast-iron pipe bottoms, brittle clay lines, and internal mineral scale deposits.

Essential for Camas Real Estate Transactions

A standard general home inspection does not evaluate underground waste piping. Repairing or replacing a collapsed side sewer can cost thousands of dollars. Having a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection performed during your contract inspection period provides complete peace of mind, video evidence, and leverage for seller repair negotiations.

Following the inspection, if your pipes are clogged with grease or roots, our high-velocity hydro jetting service can blast the obstruction clear. If severe cracks or line bellies are found, we provide permanent solutions through our sewer line repair team.
