Sewer Camera Inspection in Kent, WA
Before we recommend a repair, a jetting service, or a full repipe, we look inside the line with a camera. That's the difference between an educated guess and an actual diagnosis.
Seeing What's Actually Wrong
A sewer camera inspection feeds a waterproof camera through the line to show exactly what's causing a backup, slow drain, or recurring clog. It's the tool that turns a guess into a confirmed diagnosis, whether the cause is root intrusion, a cracked joint, grease buildup, or a genuine structural collapse.
This matters most before a bigger job. A camera inspection can be the difference between paying for a repipe you didn't need and confirming that jetting alone will solve the problem. It can also catch a structural break early before it turns into a full backup in the house.
When A Camera Inspection Makes Sense
A Clog Keeps Coming Back
If the same drain has been cleared more than once, a camera shows whether roots or a structural issue are the real cause.
Buying A Home With An Older Sewer Line
A pre-purchase camera inspection can catch a costly sewer problem before it becomes your problem.
Slow Drains Throughout The House
A camera confirms whether the main line has a partial blockage rather than an issue with individual fixtures.
Before A Major Repair Or Repipe
Confirming the exact location and cause first keeps a bigger job properly scoped instead of guessed at.
How The Inspection Works
We feed a flexible camera through an existing cleanout or access point, recording footage as it travels the length of the line. A locator on the camera head lets us mark the exact depth and position of anything we find, which matters quite a bit if a repair ends up being needed later.
You get a straight explanation of what the footage shows, in plain, everyday terms, along with a copy of the recording. If everything looks clean, we'll tell you that too rather than manufacturing a problem to justify the visit. Any repair recommendation that follows meets the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) that Washington has adopted statewide.
This kind of documentation is also genuinely useful well beyond the immediate diagnosis. A recorded inspection can support an insurance claim if damage is later found, and it gives a homeowner a real record of the line's condition at a point in time, useful when comparing against a future inspection down the road.
Not Sure What's Wrong With Your Line?
A camera inspection gives you a confirmed answer, not a guess.
What Affects The Price
Free written estimates on non-emergency calls; emergency work gets an upfront price before anything starts. A camera inspection is typically a diagnostic cost, not covered by homeowners insurance unless tied to an active covered claim.
Common Questions
Yes, we provide a copy of the recording along with a plain-language explanation of what it shows.
It's built to inspect drain and sewer lines specifically. Supply line leaks are found with acoustic and thermal detection instead.
It's a reasonable step for any home with an older sewer line, especially one with mature trees nearby, since root intrusion isn't visible from the surface.
Most single-line inspections are completed in under an hour.
Yes, the camera works regardless of pipe material, and older clay lines are actually where this inspection tends to matter most given how commonly root intrusion affects them over time.
