We run a high-definition camera through your line and show you the real condition — breaks, root intrusion, blockages, and wear — so you know precisely what you're dealing with before any digging starts.
We feed a waterproof, high-resolution camera on a flexible cable directly into your sewer or drain line. As it travels through the pipe, we watch a live video feed — pinpointing the exact location and nature of any problem.
No guesswork, no unnecessary digging. We find the issue, show it to you on screen, and recommend the right fix.
Standard home inspections don't cover the sewer line. A hidden line problem can cost the new owner $5,000–$15,000. Findings often become negotiating leverage at closing.
If drains are slow, gurgling, or keep backing up after snaking, a camera shows whether it's roots, a break, scale buildup, or a sag — and where exactly to fix it.
Following a backup, an inspection confirms whether there's lasting damage, what caused it, and what the right next step actually is.
We see the exact problem and its exact location — no exploratory digging.
Catch small issues before they become five-figure emergencies.
One inspection tells you everything you need to know about your line's health.
A video inspection is also part of our sewer & water line protection plans — so you always know the condition of your line.
The most common questions buyers and homeowners ask us about video pipe inspection.
Sewer camera inspection in Greater Hartford typically runs $250–$600 depending on line length, access (cleanout vs roof vent vs toilet pull), and whether locating equipment is required to mark the line. We provide an exact quote before scheduling. The inspection is often a fraction of what an unnecessary excavation would cost.
Yes — especially in Greater Hartford where many homes have clay or cast iron lateral lines decades past their service life. A standard home inspection does not include the sewer line, and an undisclosed sewer issue can cost a new owner $5,000–$15,000 to repair. A pre-purchase camera inspection is one of the highest-value due diligence steps a buyer can do, and findings often become leverage in negotiating the purchase price or repair credits.
A typical residential sewer camera inspection takes 30–90 minutes on site. The actual camera run is usually 15–30 minutes; the rest is setup, equipment access, line locating if needed, and reviewing findings with you. You'll see live video as we go.
A modern sewer camera shows pipe material, joint condition, cracks, breaks, root intrusion, scale buildup, sags or bellies that hold water, partial collapse, separations at joints, and obstructions like wipes or debris. With locating equipment we can also map the depth and exact location of the line — useful for planning a repair.
Yes. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common findings — roots show on video clearly as they enter the line at joints and cracks. Cracks, breaks, separations, and partial collapses are also visible on camera. After the inspection we walk you through exactly what we saw and what fix (if any) we recommend.
