If the same line keeps clogging — every few months, every year — the cause is deeper than the trap. Camera inspection finds the root cause (often literally a root) so we can fix it for good.
The home inspection didn't check the sewer line — they almost never do. A pre-purchase camera inspection finds problems before you close: roots, cracks, Orangeburg pipe, collapse. Critical for older homes.
Some Union County buyers are now asking for sewer inspections before purchase. Getting ahead of it with your own inspection gives you negotiating leverage — and avoids last-minute price drops.
Following a backup or basement flooding, an inspection shows whether the line was damaged, whether tree roots got in, or whether you have a pipe that's near end-of-life.
For water damage, sewer backup, or service line claims — written reports and video footage from a licensed Master Plumber support your claim with documented evidence.
Roots grow into joints and cracks looking for water. The most common cause of recurring sewer line clogs in Union County.
Pipe damage from age, settling, or external pressure. Visible on camera — we mark the exact location and depth.
Sections of pipe that have sagged or settled, creating a low spot where water and waste pool. Hard to clear permanently without grading.
Partial or full collapse of the line. Common in older Orangeburg pipe (1940s–1960s installations) and aging clay or cast iron.
Toys, jewelry, construction debris, "flushable" wipes (they're not), even tree branches that have grown through cracks.
Decades of grease, scale, or sediment narrowing the pipe. Often clearable with hydro jetting — but visible only with a camera.
Reasonable concern. For a one-time drain clog, you don't need a camera inspection — a snake usually solves it. For recurring main line issues, sewage backups, or pre-purchase due diligence, a camera inspection is the only way to actually know what's going on. We tell you straight whether your situation warrants it.
Home inspectors are generalists — they flush toilets, run water, check for visible leaks. They almost never run a camera through the sewer line. Many of the worst issues we find (Orangeburg pipe, root intrusion, collapse) are invisible to a standard home inspection. For older Union County homes, a sewer camera is worth the cost.
We understand. Older Union County homes (1920s–1960s) often have cast-iron, clay, or Orangeburg sewer lines that are nearing end-of-life. The camera tells us — sometimes the line is fine and you've got 10+ years left. Sometimes it's actively failing. Either way, you make decisions with facts.
We do this regularly. Camera footage, photos of damage, written assessment from a licensed Master Plumber — formatted to support claims for water damage, sewer backup, or service line repair.
