What to Expect During a Professional Sewer Camera Inspection

Maintaining the health and efficiency of your sewer lines is essential for every residential and commercial property. Over time, sewer pipes can accumulate debris, experience blockages, or suffer from cracks and root intrusions. A professional sewer camera inspection is the most effective way to diagnose these issues quickly and accurately, avoiding costly repairs and major disruptions.

At Pdx Sewer Solutions, we specialize in comprehensive sewer camera inspection services designed to provide precise diagnostics and actionable insights. Our professional team uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure your sewer system is safe, efficient, and fully operational.

Why Sewer Camera Inspection Is Essential

Sewer problems often start small, but even minor issues can lead to significant property damage if left undetected. Traditional methods, like manual inspections or guesswork, are time-consuming and can miss hidden problems. A professional sewer camera inspection allows experts to see inside your pipes in real time, identifying blockages, corrosion, cracks, and root intrusions without unnecessary digging or disruption.

By detecting problems early, property owners save money, prevent sewage backups, and extend the life of their sewer systems. Professional inspections also help maintain compliance with local regulations and standards.

What Happens During a Professional Sewer Camera Inspection

A professional sewer camera inspection follows a structured process designed for accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your property:

1. Initial Assessment and Consultation

Before any inspection begins, our technicians evaluate your property and sewer system. This step includes reviewing the age, type, and layout of your pipes, as well as any previous issues or repairs. Understanding your system allows our team to plan the inspection and focus on potential problem areas.

2. Insertion of the Camera

We use high-resolution, waterproof cameras mounted on flexible cables that can navigate through bends, turns, and varying pipe diameters. The camera transmits live video to our monitors, allowing technicians to examine the interior of your sewer pipes in real time.

This process is non-invasive and eliminates the need for costly excavation, making it efficient and safe for your property.

3. Real-Time Monitoring and Diagnosis

As the camera moves through the pipes, our experts monitor the video feed for signs of damage, blockages, corrosion, and root intrusion. The technology allows for accurate detection of even minor issues, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed. Our team documents all findings, capturing video footage and images that you can reference for future maintenance or repairs.

4. Detailed Reporting

After the inspection, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your sewer lines. The report includes:

  • Exact location and type of any blockages or damage

  • Recommendations for repairs or maintenance

  • Estimated costs and timelines for corrective action

  • Video footage for verification and transparency

This detailed report empowers property owners to make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, or preventive measures.

5. Recommendations and Next Steps

Based on the findings, our team recommends the most effective solutions for your sewer system. Whether it’s a simple cleaning, trenchless repair, or full replacement, we provide professional guidance to ensure your pipes are fully functional and protected against future issues.
