Signs You Need a Sewer Video Inspection?
While you can’t visibly see problems with your sewer line, there are symptoms you can watch for that can indicate you should schedule sewer video inspection services with a professional.
These can include:
- Bad odors: The smell of sewage coming from your drains or around the outside of your house can be an indication of sewer line issues.
- Slow drains: While slow drains can be a sign of a minor clog, they can also indicate a larger issue with your sewer line.
- Gurgling sounds: Gurgling noises from your drains or the sound of water when your faucets are not running can also signal a sewer line problem.
- Increased water bills: A sudden increase in your water bills — when your usage hasn’t changed — can signal a burst or leaking line.
- Water damage: A leak in the sewer line can result in water damage around your property. You could also notice mold and mildew.
- Wet patches in your yard: If a sewer line bursts it can cause water to seep into your yard. This can result in a greener, lusher yard, or wet patches.
Reasons to Book a Sewer Camera Inspection
Sewer camera inspections can be beneficial at quickly identifying issues in your sewer line.
Some circumstances where you should book an appointment are:
- If you want to locate a leak: A video inspection can diagnose the leak and pinpoint its exact location.
- If you don’t want your yard dug up: If a sewer line bursts, your yard might need to be dug up to repair it – leaving a large trench in your lawn. Camera inspections are non-invasive, so the problem can be located quickly and repairs can be scheduled before the pipe breaks and your yard becomes a construction zone.
- If you want proof of the status of your sewer line: If you’re selling your home and you want to assure the new buyers your sewer line is functioning properly, you can schedule a video inspection and give the potential buyers the video as proof of the line’s condition.

What To Expect During Sewer Video Inspections
When you hire a technician to perform a sewer video inspection, you might be curious as to how the process works and what to expect. Rest assured, the inspection will not inconvenience you. During these services, a technician will first locate the plumbing lines and access points in your property. When he’s ready, he’ll put the camera down the line and start the recording.
