What Does a Sewer Line Inspection Entail for Homeowners?

A sewer line inspection for homeowners uses a video camera to see inside the pipe and pinpoint blockages or damage without unnecessary digging. Technicians typically start with a camera inspection to diagnose the problem and recommend next steps. We may pair the camera with advanced leak/location technology to identify hidden issues before any repair. Depending on findings, the next step is often hydro jetting for heavy buildup, a targeted spot repair, or full replacement when repairs are no longer cost‑effective. You receive clear, upfront estimates before any work. Our team performs these inspections across the Denver metro, including neighborhoods near Thornton.

What typically happens during the visit:

• Access a cleanout and run a video camera through the sewer line.
• Review live footage with you and document pipe condition, joints, roots, or obstructions.
• Use locating tools to identify the problem area before planning repairs.
• Provide an itemized report with options for cleaning, repair, or replacement.

If sewage is backing up or drains won’t clear, schedule an emergency visit and pause water use until inspected.
