Sewer Camera Inspections

Sewer camera inspections and video pipe inspections help identify blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and damaged pipe throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula.

Why Choose Heises Plumbing for Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection provides a real-time view inside accessible portions of an underground sewer line. This helps our technicians evaluate visible pipe conditions, identify potential problem areas, and recommend appropriate next steps based on what the inspection shows.

  • Identify Pipe Problems: Helps reveal blockages, tree root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, deterioration, buildup, and damaged sections of sewer pipe.
  • Locate Problem Areas: When conditions allow, camera locating can help determine the approximate underground location of visible sewer-line issues.
  • Clear Recommendations: Our technicians review the camera inspection findings and explain appropriate next steps, which may include sewer cleaning, additional evaluation, repair, or replacement.

What Can a Sewer Camera Inspection Identify?

Video pipe inspection can help evaluate sewer lines experiencing recurring backups, slow drainage, or other suspected underground problems. Depending on access and visibility, the camera may reveal tree roots, cracks, damaged pipe, separated or offset joints, buildup, blockages, and deterioration.

Heavy buildup, standing wastewater, or an obstruction can limit camera visibility. In some cases, sewer cleaning may be recommended before further inspection to provide a clearer view of accessible portions of the pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer camera inspection in San Francisco and the Peninsula.

What are the signs that I need sewer camera inspection?

Frequent main line backups, sewer gas odors near drains, wet patches in the yard, and multiple slow drains throughout the property.

Can sewer camera inspection be done without tearing up my property?

In many cases, a sewer camera can be introduced through an accessible cleanout or other existing access point without excavating the sewer line. Access conditions vary by property, and additional work may be necessary if an appropriate entry point is not available.

Can a sewer camera find roots, cracks, offsets, or collapsed pipe?

A sewer camera can help identify visible roots, cracks, offsets, damaged pipe, and collapsed sections when conditions inside the line allow a clear view. Heavy blockage or standing wastewater may limit what the camera can see.

Is a sewer camera inspection useful for recurring backups?

Yes. A sewer camera inspection can help identify conditions contributing to recurring backups, such as roots, buildup, damaged pipe, or offsets, so the technician can recommend appropriate next steps.

Should the sewer line be cleaned before a camera inspection?

Sometimes. If a blockage, heavy buildup, or standing wastewater prevents a clear view, the sewer line may need to be cleaned before the camera can effectively inspect the pipe walls.
