Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sewer camera inspection?
A sewer camera inspection is when a licensed plumber uses a specialized waterproof camera to look inside your sewer and drain lines. This lets us see the condition of your pipes and identify any blockages, cracks, or damage without digging.
Why would I need a sewer camera inspection?
If you have frequent clogs, slow drains, or sewage backups, a camera inspection helps find the root cause. It’s also highly recommended before buying a home or connecting an ADU to ensure your sewer line is in good condition.

Most inspections take about 30–60 minutes, depending on the length of your sewer line and what we find. Results are available immediately since we see the footage in real time.
Can I get a copy of the video?
Yes. Many plumbers, including Plumbing SoCal, can provide video footage of the inspection so you have a record of your sewer line’s condition.
Will a sewer camera inspection damage my pipes?
No. The process is completely safe and non-invasive. The camera is designed to move smoothly through your pipes without causing harm.
