Pinpoint Problems Below the Surface—Without Digging

Why Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection?

Whether you’re buying a home, dealing with recurring clogs, or noticing signs of a hidden leak, a sewer camera inspection gives you answers without unnecessary digging. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we use high-resolution video equipment to locate the exact issue—from tree root intrusion to pipe collapses—saving you time, money, and guesswork.

What Can a Sewer Camera Inspection Detect?

Our camera inspections can reveal a wide range of issues inside your plumbing system, including:

 

  • Tree root intrusion breaking into older clay or cast iron lines

  • Cracked, corroded, or collapsed pipes

  • Bellied or sagging lines that collect waste and water

  • Pipe misalignment or separated joints

  • Grease buildup, blockages, or foreign objects

  • Evidence of previous repairs that may not meet current standards

 

This detailed view allows us to recommend the most accurate and cost-effective solution for your home or business. If we detect a break or intrusion, we’ll walk you through next steps for sewer repair and provide a detailed estimate.

When Should You Schedule a Drain or Sewer Camera Inspection?

Sewer camera inspections aren’t just for emergencies. Knowing when to schedule one can save you thousands in future repairs. We recommend scheduling an inspection if you’re experiencing:

 

  • Recurring drain clogs that keep coming back after snaking

  • Slow-draining sinks, showers, or tubs

  • Unpleasant sewer odors coming from drains

  • Unexplained soggy patches in your yard

  • A spike in your water bill without increased usage

  • Before buying a home to ensure the sewer line is in good shape

 

If any of these signs sound familiar, a quick inspection now can help you avoid major plumbing surprises later. If buildup or blockage is found during inspection, our hydro jetting service can clear the line thoroughly before repairs.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Sewer Camera Inspections

Sewer camera inspections are one of the most effective tools for diagnosing underground plumbing issues without excavation. Below is a breakdown of the pros and cons to help homeowners and property managers make informed decisions.

Camera Inspection Advantages

  • Pinpoint Accuracy
    Identify the exact location and cause of issues like root intrusion, pipe damage, or persistent clogs.

  • Non-Invasive Method
    No digging or demolition needed to inspect your sewer lines—preserves your yard and driveway.

  • Saves Time & Money
    Cuts down on guesswork and labor costs by allowing our plumbers to quickly diagnose and resolve issues.

  • Early Problem Detection
    Catch small issues like corrosion or misalignments before they become major, costly repairs.

  • Detailed Footage & Reports

  • Pairs Well With Other Services
    Confirm successful hydro jetting, drain cleaning, or repair work using visual proof.

Camera Inspection Disadvantages

  • Inspection Only
    A sewer camera doesn’t fix problems—it identifies them. Repairs are quoted and scheduled after inspection.

  • Limited Access
    Severe clogs or inaccessible pipes can prevent the camera from traveling through the full line.

  • Technology Can’t See Everything
    Hairline cracks or leaks outside the pipe wall may go undetected.

  • Professional-Only Tool
    Requires training and experience to properly interpret footage and identify problems accurately.
