Professional sewer camera inspection solutions throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula. Licensed Class A General Engineering & C36 Plumbing Contractor (#1089561).
Sewer camera inspections and video pipe inspections help identify blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and damaged pipe throughout San Francisco and the Peninsula.
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.
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.

Common questions about sewer camera inspection in San Francisco and the Peninsula.
Frequent main line backups, sewer gas odors near drains, wet patches in the yard, and multiple slow drains throughout the 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.
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.
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.
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.
