Do you suspect there’s a problem with your sewer line? City Plumbing & Rooter has more than two decades of experience in diagnosing sewer line problems. We are committed to finding a permanent solution with expert troubleshooting. Sewer camera inspection services in Ventura County can help home and business owners save time and money by addressing damaged sewer lines before backups occur.

What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection is the best method of diagnosing problem sewer lines. With access through ground level cleanouts, roof vents, or removing the toilet and scoping through the flange, we can view and assess if the sewer line is deteriorating, has breaks, cracks, roots, or hard scale buildup that may cause future backups. A small camera is attached to a long, flexible cable that is fed through the sewer line, giving an accurate picture of the current condition of your pipes.

When To Perform a Sewer Camera Inspection

There are many times when a professional sewer camera inspection by our drain experts is recommended. We may suggest a sewer camera inspection for:

Aging Homes. Most older homes have clay or cast iron sewer lines. As homes age, so do the pipe materials. Deteriorating sewer lines allow for root intrusion, breaks, and cracks. Homes with clay lines are more susceptible to root intrusion and breaks since they are installed in five-foot sections. At connections, the seals can wear down and roots can easily enter.

Frequent Sewer Backups. Often, home and business owners do not think about the sewer line until a problem occurs. Common sewer line problems that result in frequent backups include heavy root intrusion, hard scale buildup closing off the inside of the pipe, deterioration from aging pipelines, breaks or cracks, or low spots reducing flow. A sewer camera inspection will reveal the problem.

Large Trees. For properties with large trees in the yard, or even close by, performing a sewer camera inspection can indicate if roots are growing into the line. Tree roots seek the rich nutrients found in main sewer lines and can infiltrate through even small seams or cracks in the line. Once inside, they will continue to grow and cause major damage to the main sewer line.

New Home Purchase. City Plumbing & Rooter recommends performing a sewer camera inspection prior to purchasing a new home. Often, new home inspections only include easily-visible problems. By viewing the condition of the inside of a sewer line, new home buyers can make sure that their new home will not come with future repair costs or frequent backups. 

Before Heavy Rains. Southern California doesn’t get much rain, which means area or landscaping drains can become clogged during dry weather and go unnoticed. When area drains are not regularly used, debris, dirt, rocks and other elements can settle in the line. When heavy rains do come, clogged drains can cause backups and even flood homes. A camera inspection of the area drain is the only way to determine if the pipe is clear.

City Plumbing & Rooter Sewer Camera Inspections

City Plumbing & Rooter is committed to helping home and business owners avoid damage and tackle problems before they occur. Typically, we will recommend a sewer camera inspection after assessing the drain line during routine snaking. If our team of drain specialists encounter hard blockages, pull roots back from our professional snaking, or are unable to clear a main sewer line, the next step is a sewer camera inspection. Our sewer camera inspections in Ventura County will indicate the exact cause of the problem so we can provide multiple cost-effective solutions. Camera inspections will also allow us to view the type of pipe materials, the location in the line of damage, and in some cases it will even show a minor issue easily solved by our hydro jetting services.

"I had an issue with a leak and City Plumbing sent someone out the same day! They rearranged there schedule to fit me in. Brandon came out and was so respectful, he wore shoe booties to protect my floors and his mask the whole time. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and fix it right away. I will only be using this company in the future and hopefully get Brandon for any future jobs."
