Our Customer Reviews

What Is a Sewer Lateral Inspection?

A sewer lateral inspection is a detailed camera inspection of the underground pipe that connects your home or business to the main municipal sewer line. This high-definition video inspection allows us to:

  • Locate cracks, corrosion, and structural weaknesses in the pipe.
  • Identify tree root intrusion and blockages affecting sewer flow.
  • Detect leaks, standing water, and pipe misalignment.
  • Assess overall pipe condition for repairs or replacement.

Unlike traditional excavation methods, a sewer camera inspection is non-invasive, requiring only a small access point to evaluate the entire length of your lateral sewer line.

Signs You Need a Sewer Lateral Inspection

If you notice any of the following plumbing issues, a sewer lateral inspection may be necessary:

  • Frequent drain backups or multiple slow drains.
  • Gurgling noises from toilets or drains.
  • Sewage odors coming from your yard or home.
  • Unexplained puddles or soggy areas on your property.
  • Foundation cracks or signs of soil shifting near sewer lines.
  • A sudden spike in your water or sewer bill.

A professional sewer camera inspection can determine whether your lateral line needs cleaning, repair, or full replacement.

Who Needs a Sewer Lateral Inspection?

Homeowners Experiencing Drainage Issues

If your home has recurring plumbing problems, a sewer inspection can identify hidden pipe damage, allowing for targeted repairs instead of costly full replacements.

Home Buyers & Sellers (Real Estate Sewer Inspections)

Many cities require a sewer lateral inspection before a home sale to ensure the plumbing system is code-compliant. An inspection can:

  • Provide peace of mind for buyers before purchasing a property.
  • Help sellers address potential issues before listing their home.
  • Ensure a smooth real estate transaction with full plumbing transparency.

Businesses & Commercial Properties

Restaurants, apartments, and office buildings rely on sewer systems for daily operations. A commercial sewer inspection helps:

  • Prevent costly business disruptions due to major plumbing failures.
  • Ensure proper drainage for high-usage plumbing systems.
  • Identify compliance issues before they result in fines.

Municipal Compliance & City Sewer Line Inspections

Some areas require sewer lateral inspections for compliance with city codes. We provide:

  • Sewer certification inspections for real estate transactions.
  • Pre-sale lateral line evaluations for home purchases.
  • Routine sewer system assessments for city infrastructure requirements.

The entire process is quick, non-invasive, and provides immediate results.
