Sewer Line & Pipe Inspections

Aging Orangeburg and clay pipe. Older Northern Virginia homes often sit on pipe well past its service life, ready to crack or collapse.

Tree root intrusion. Roots find the smallest crack or joint and grow inside the line until they block or break it.

Water damage and foundation risk. An unseen leak undermines soil and footings, the costliest place water can reach.

Property contamination. A failing line can leak sewage into your yard and home, creating a real sanitation hazard.

Buying blind. Purchasing a home without a sewer inspection can hand you a five figure repair the previous owner saw coming.

Small problem becomes an emergency. Left unchecked, a minor crack escalates into a full backup or a complete pipe replacement.

What is a sewer and pipe inspection?

It is a diagnostic service where we feed a camera into your sewer or drain pipes to visually assess their condition and find issues like cracks, blockages, root intrusion, or corrosion.

Why should I get a sewer inspection?

Inspections catch problems early, before they become major repairs. That saves money, prevents backups, and protects your plumbing system.

When should I schedule an inspection?

Before buying a home, when you have recurring clogs or backups, after flooding or shifting soil, or as preventative maintenance every few years.

How does the camera inspection work?

A flexible, waterproof camera is fed through the pipe and streams live video, so we can pinpoint cracks, blockages, or tree root intrusion.

How long does an inspection take?

Most inspections take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on pipe length, access points, and condition.

Will the inspection damage my pipes?

No. The camera inspection is non invasive and does not require digging or cutting into pipes.

Do you provide a video and written report?

Yes. We give you recorded video, images, and a written report detailing any issues and our recommended actions.

What problems do you look for?

We check for cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, blockages, offset joints, sagging bellies, leaks, and pipe collapse.

Is an inspection necessary if I have no symptoms?

Yes. A baseline inspection detects hidden problems before they become noticeable, which is especially valuable in older homes.

Can the inspection pinpoint the exact location of damage?

Yes. The camera shows precisely where damage or blockage exists, so any repair can be planned with minimal digging.

When does a line need replacement instead of cleaning?

Severe corrosion, major cracks, collapses, or multiple problem zones along a line may call for full relining or replacement.
