You can't fix what you can't see. A sewer camera inspection sends a high-resolution camera through your sewer lateral so we can see root intrusion, cracks, bellied pipe, and buildup in real time. For Redlands Heights homes with mature trees and clay lateral pipes, this isn't optional — it's how you find out what's really happening before you pay for repair work that doesn't match the actual problem. Licensed & Insured.

How We Work
Our Sewer Camera Inspection Process
- 1
Access the cleanout
We locate and open the main sewer cleanout, usually in the front yard or near the foundation. If one isn't accessible, we discuss access options with you first.
- 2
Run the camera
A waterproof HD camera is pushed through the lateral toward the city main. We watch the live feed and note location and depth of any findings.
- 3
Record and document
We record the camera run and mark the GPS location of any issues found. You get a real look at what's in your pipe.
- 4
Explain the findings
We walk you through what we saw — in plain language. Root intrusion, cracks, and bellies look different, and we make sure you understand what you're looking at.
- 5
Recommend next steps
If repair is needed, we give you a fixed-price quote. If the line is clear, we tell you that too. No invented problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sewer camera inspection in the Redlands area.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Usually 30-60 minutes for a typical single-family home lateral, depending on length and how many findings we stop to document.
Will you give me a recording of the camera footage?
Yes. We can provide you with the recording for your records, insurance purposes, or to share with a real estate agent during a home sale.
Is a sewer camera inspection the same as a sewer scope?
They're essentially the same service with different names. A camera inspection and a sewer scope both involve pushing a camera through the lateral. We use the terms interchangeably.
What if you don't find anything wrong?
That's a great outcome. We tell you the line is clear, and you have peace of mind. We don't invent problems to generate repair work.
Should I get a camera inspection before buying a home?
Absolutely, especially for older Redlands homes with clay laterals. It's one of the most important pre-purchase plumbing checks you can do.
