Sewer Camera Inspection

Sewer Camera Inspection in Acadiana

See what is happening inside the drain or sewer line before deciding whether cleaning, repair, or replacement is needed.

What a Sewer Camera Can Help Identify

A sewer camera is fed through an accessible drain or cleanout so the technician can inspect the inside of the piping in real time. It can help reveal conditions that cannot be confirmed from the surface alone.

Common Findings

  • Roots entering the pipe
  • Grease, sludge, or heavy buildup
  • Cracks or deterioration
  • Offsets or separated joints
  • Low spots holding water
  • Foreign objects
  • Collapsed or restricted sections
  • Changes in pipe material or direction

When an Inspection May Help

  • A stoppage keeps returning
  • Several fixtures back up together
  • The location of a sewer problem is unknown
  • Repair or excavation is being considered
  • A property has older or mixed piping
  • Drain cleaning did not fully resolve the symptoms
  • A line needs to be located before digging

A Camera Shows Conditions, Not Every Hidden Detail

Camera inspection is a valuable diagnostic tool, but access, standing water, heavy debris, pipe size, and sharp turns can limit visibility. The video should be considered together with the symptoms, drain-cleaning results, line location, and the condition of the property before repair recommendations are made.

How the Inspection Typically Works

  1. Review the symptoms and recent drainage history.
  2. Choose a practical access point.
  3. Clear enough of the line for visibility when needed.
  4. Feed the camera through the piping while watching the monitor.
  5. Use locating equipment when the problem area needs to be marked.
  6. Explain the visible condition and discuss the next step.

Depending on what is found, the recommendation may involve drain cleaning, hydro jetting, spot repair, replacement, or continued observation.
