Sewer Camera Inspection in Lake Elsinore, CA
See inside your sewer line before anyone digs.
A sewer camera inspection shows exactly what is going on inside your Lake Elsinore home’s main line. We push a waterproof camera through the pipe and you watch on a screen as it goes. Roots, cracks, low spots and broken sections all show up, so you know what you are dealing with before paying for a repair.
When You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
Get a camera inspection when your main line keeps backing up, when you have a sewer smell you cannot track down, or before you agree to replace a sewer line. It is also a smart step before buying an older home, since the sewer line is usually not part of a standard home inspection. If your street is moving from septic to sewer, a look at the house’s main drain before the hookup tells you whether that line should be fixed while the ground is open.
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
We run the camera in through a cleanout. If there is no cleanout, we can pull a toilet and go in through the floor opening. A locator in the camera head lets us mark the spot and depth of any problem from above ground, so if a repair is needed, we dig in one place. If the line is too dirty to see, we clear it first. When we are done, we walk you through the footage and explain what we saw in plain words.

Common Questions About Sewer Camera Inspections
Do you have to dig to do a camera inspection?
No. The camera goes in through a cleanout or a toilet opening. Digging only happens if the footage shows a repair is needed.
What can a sewer camera find?
Roots, cracks, broken or separated joints, bellies where the pipe has sagged and holds water, grease buildup and things stuck in the line.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?
For an older home, it is worth it. A sewer line repair can be a big expense, and the inspection tells you about it before you own the house.
If the camera shows a problem, we will lay out your options. See drain and sewer repair in Lake Elsinore for how we fix what we find, or call (951) 748-0083 to book an inspection.
