How Does a Sacramento Sewer Camera Inspection Work?
Our comprehensive sewer inspection process delivers clear results with minimal disruption to your Sacramento property:
- Initial Assessment: Our technician begins by discussing any symptoms you’ve noticed and your property’s plumbing history. We then identify the best access point for the camera—typically a cleanout located in your basement, yard, or at your property line.
- Camera Deployment: We insert our specialized waterproof camera attached to a flexible fiber-optic cable into your sewer line. The high-definition camera transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our technician to carefully examine every inch of your pipe.
- Thorough Pipe Examination: As the camera progresses through your sewer system, our technician looks for signs of blockages, cracks, root intrusion, joint separations, or any other abnormalities. We may run water through fixtures to observe flow patterns and identify potential blockage points.
- Problem Location Identification: When issues are discovered, our camera equipment includes locating technology that pinpoints the exact position and depth of problems. This precision enables us to mark problematic areas above ground without extensive digging.
- Documentation and Explanation: We record the inspection and provide you with detailed information about any issues found, including their severity and recommended solutions. You’ll receive a clear explanation of your options in non-technical language.
Armstrong Plumbing’s sewer camera inspections give Sacramento homeowners the complete picture of their sewer system’s health, allowing for informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.
FAQS
While not mandatory, video inspections are valuable when buying property, experiencing recurring clogs, or planning major renovations in Sacramento. The small investment provides crucial information about your sewer’s condition that can prevent expensive emergency repairs and help with long-term maintenance planning.
Sewer inspections allow Sacramento homeowners to catch problems before they cause damage or health hazards. By identifying issues like root intrusion, cracks, or blockages early, you can address them proactively, often with simpler, less expensive solutions than waiting for complete system failure.
Sewer camera inspections in Sacramento typically range from $250-$500 depending on your property’s layout and access points. This cost is significantly less than emergency repairs or the property damage that can result from undetected sewer problems, making it a wise preventive investment.
Our high-definition cameras detect most common issues including blockages, cracks, root intrusion, joint separation, and pipe collapse. However, certain conditions like hairline cracks in their early stages or problems beyond a complete blockage that prevents camera passage might not be fully visible.
For most Sacramento homes, a sewer inspection every 3-5 years is recommended, particularly for properties with mature trees or older plumbing systems. If you’ve had previous sewer issues or have trees with aggressive root systems, more frequent inspections may be beneficial.
If we identify issues during your Sacramento sewer inspection, we’ll explain the problem’s nature, severity, and location. We then provide repair options ranging from simple cleaning to spot repairs or full replacements, along with transparent cost estimates, allowing you to make an informed decision.
