Sewer Camera Inspections: Your Solution for Hidden Problems

Watch for these signs: multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, a sewage smell inside or outside the house, slow drains throughout the home, or wet spots in the yard that don't dry. These are often indications that you may need sewer line repair or even sewer line replacement, especially if tree roots are invading your sewer pipes.

A sewer camera is a small waterproof video camera attached to a flexible cable. We feed it into the sewer line through a clean-out to inspect the inside of the pipe on a monitor. This technology helps us identify issues like tree roots in sewer pipes, cracks, collapses, grease buildup, and misaligned joints—essential for effective sewer line repair or sewer line replacement. If you're experiencing recurring backups or in the process of buying a home, a camera inspection can save you thousands in unexpected repairs.

Yes. Tree roots naturally seek water, and even small cracks or joints in a sewer line can allow these roots to invade and grow within sewer pipes. Over time, this leads to blockages, traps debris, and can eventually necessitate sewer line repair or even sewer line replacement. This issue is one of the most common sewer problems found in older Kentuckiana neighborhoods.

Not always. Depending on the damage, we may be able to perform a sewer line repair through a spot repair on just the affected section. Our camera inspections help us identify the exact location, ensuring we only dig where necessary, especially when dealing with issues caused by tree roots in sewer pipes.
