Sewer Camera Inspection in Tampa, FL
A sewer camera inspection is the simplest way to stop guessing about your sewer line. We feed a waterproof camera on a cable through a cleanout and down the pipe, and watch the inside of the line on a screen as it goes. Roots, cracks, sags and blockages show up clearly, along with how far out and how deep they are.
When an Inspection Makes Sense
- The same backup keeps coming back. Clearing a line fixes the clog, but the camera shows why it clogged in the first place.
- Several drains are slow at once, or toilets gurgle when other fixtures drain.
- Before paying for a big repair. Someone has told you the line needs replacing and you want to see it for yourself.
- Buying a house. A camera inspection before closing shows the condition of the sewer line, which a standard home inspection usually does not cover.
- An older home with clay or cast iron pipe, where roots and corrosion are common.
- Sewage smell in the yard or a wet spot over where the line runs.
What the Camera Can Find
- Tree roots that have grown in through the joints.
- Cracked, broken or collapsed pipe.
- Bellies: low spots where the pipe has sunk and waste sits instead of flowing.
- Joints that have shifted apart.
- Grease build-up, scale, or something that went down that should not have.
What You Get
You can watch the inspection with us. Afterwards we explain what we saw in plain terms, show you where the problem is in the yard, and tell you what it needs: sometimes just a cleaning, sometimes a section repair, sometimes a new line. If there is work to do, you get a clear quote before anything starts, and you are under no obligation to use us for it.
Inspection vs. Just Clearing the Line
Clearing a clogged main line gets the water flowing again, and sometimes that is all you need. But if the line clogs because roots are coming in or the pipe has a sag, it will clog again. A camera inspection is how you find out whether you are dealing with a one-time clog or a pipe that needs fixing.
If the inspection shows damage, see sewer line repair and replacement. For an active backup, see main line and sewer backups.
