Sewer Camera Inspection
One of the worst situations for a homeowner is to have a clogged sewer line. It’s not a good sight to see waste coming back up from your toilet. And the dreadful smell it leaves can keep you away from your bathroom for days. Finding the root cause of such plumbing issues can be hard in a home or business. At Alvarez Plumbing, we know how to fix the problem. Our team of highly skilled professionals offers sewer camera inspections to pinpoint clogging and help clean your sewer with ease. Give a call to Alvarez Plumbing and schedule your camera inspection today.
How does sewer camera inspection work?
We attach a camera to the end of a flexible cable, which is designed to work like a drain snake. It easily steers through the twisted plumbing system or sewer lines. Here is a three-step process of our sewer camera inspection.

- Insertion and Navigation– With a state-of-the-art camera attached to the flexible cable, it’s easy to go through the bends and curves. Main line sewer was traditionally difficult to inspect but not anymore. Thanks to the miniature size of modern cameras, they can find any type of clogging with ease.
- Real-Time Footage: As the camera steers through the sewer line, our plumbing team examines it in real-time through video footage. This immediate feedback helps us with quick-detection of all the hidden issues.
- Unclogging Without Digging: One of the best things about using a sewer camera is its non-invasive nature of solving the plumbing issues. You don’t have to dig up your yard or disrupt your property to locate an issue in the drain or sewer. Once we find it, we employ appropriate solutions to unclog the sewer line.
Benefits of Sewer Line Camera Inspections
Sewer camera inspections have many benefits. They have been a blessing for both homeowners and plumbers.
Accurate Problem Identification
Blockages and Backups: Blockages can be caused by anything. Some common things we come across are paper, grease, and debris. The camera helps us with precise identification allowing us to take the best course of action for removal.
Tree Roots: People are often oblivious to trees growing around the sewer line of their homes. They can easily infiltrate sewer lines in search of water. The camera can spot these root intrusions and our team can take effective measures, such as pipe replacement or root removal.
Early Detection of Subtle Issues
Cracks and Breaks: There might be minor cracks and breaks in pipes, which can cause a bigger problem later on. Average sewer pipe replacement can cost around $4000 but it can be a lot more depending on the material and length of the sewer. Cameras help you identify such cracks early enough to be repaired without the need for entire system replacement.
Collapse Points: You can find areas where pipes have collapsed. This severely impacts the flow of waste and water. Sewer camera inspections are excellent for early detection of such collapse points.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
If you’re considering buying a new home, a sewer line camera inspection is a wise thing to do. Sewer pipes made of PVC usually have a life of minimum 50 years but it can be different for other materials. An inspection helps you get a clear picture of the existing plumbing system. If you find plumbing issues before purchase, you can do negotiations on the current buying price for repairs. Moreover, a pre-purchase inspection can also potentially save you from unexpected repair costs down the line.
Post-Construction or Renovation
Utility work can sometimes lead to accidental damage to your sewer lines. Sometimes bathroom renovations or other construction work can leave debris in your plumbing system. A camera inspection post-project can find all such issues and verify the integrity of your plumbing. You can later negotiate necessary repairs with the responsible company or workers.
