Why get a camera inspection before buying a home?

Sewer replacement can be one of the largest hidden costs in an older home purchase. An hour of camera time before closing tells you whether the line is clean, rooted, cracked, or collapsed — information worth far more than the inspection costs.

What can the camera actually see?

Cracks and breaks, root intrusion, joint offsets, sagging bellies that hold water, scale and grease buildup, and the pipe material itself — with distance markers so problems can be located precisely.

How long does an inspection take?

Most inspections take under an hour, with the findings explained as we go and the footage documented for your records.

Sewer Camera Inspection Rochester NY

The details, in plain language

A sewer camera is exactly what it sounds like: a waterproof camera on a flexible line, fed through your sewer from the house toward the street, showing every foot of pipe in real time. Cracks, roots, offsets, sagging sections, and scale buildup all show up clearly on screen.

It turns guesswork into evidence. Instead of estimating what might be wrong, we can show you what is wrong, where it is, and how deep — which means accurate repair recommendations, and for home buyers, no surprises after closing.
