What the camera can show.

Camera view of roots entering a clay pipe joint

Roots at the joints

Hairy strands or a mat where clay sections meet. The joint is open.

Usually next: A cut buys a year or two. Lining or a repair ends it.

Camera view of an offset sewer pipe joint

Offset joint

A ledge where one pipe section sits lower. Paper and wipes catch on it.

Usually next: Lining can handle an offset up to about an inch.

Camera view of pooled water in a sagging sewer pipe

Belly

Water pools in the pipe and the lens goes under. That section has sagged.

Usually next: Digging is the answer, because a liner follows the sag.

Camera view of a cracked pipe with soil visible

Cracks and breaks

Dark lines, or missing pieces with soil showing through.

Usually next: We locate the break and recommend a spot repair or replacement.

Camera view of deformed black Orangeburg pipe

Orangeburg pipe

Black fiber pipe, common in homes built about 1945 to 1972, gone oval and blistered.

Usually next: Orangeburg is usually replaced.

Camera view of rust scale inside cast iron pipe

Cast iron scale

Rough rust buildup narrows many basement drain lines.

Usually next: Descaling often restores the pipe without replacement.

Camera view of grease coating inside a kitchen drain

Grease

A white or yellow coating builds up on a kitchen line.

Usually next: Hydro-jetting clears the grease back from the pipe wall.

Camera view of a clean round sewer pipe

A clean pipe

Smooth, round, and clear from the house to the city connection.

Usually next: Nothing to fix. We say so, and you are done.

For home buyers

The same $275 inspection is available as a sewer scope before you buy. If the pipe is clean, we tell you that too.
