Sewer Camera Inspection Services in San Francisco
When your drains clog frequently or you suspect sewer damage, guessing isn’t an option, you need answers. At Discount Plumbing Rooter Services, we use advanced sewer camera inspections to pinpoint problems in your sewer and drain lines quickly and accurately. Our video inspection technology helps us locate cracks, roots, blockages, and corrosion without any digging or damage to your property.
About Our Sewer Camera Technology
We use high-resolution fiber optic sewer cameras that navigate smoothly through your pipes. At the tip of each camera is a transmitter that sends live footage and signals directly to our diagnostic tablet, letting our technicians see exactly what’s going on underground.
This allows us to:
- Identify the exact location and cause of your plumbing issue
- Detect cracks, breaks, offsets, and root intrusion
- Map out the entire sewer line for accurate repairs or replacements
- Provide you with recorded video and written reports for reference or city compliance
Our trained technicians interpret the footage in real time and recommend the most effective repair or maintenance solution for your home.
How Sewer Camera Inspections Work
A sewer line inspection starts with accessing your system through a cleanout or other entry point. If your drain is clogged, we’ll first clear it using snaking or hydro jetting to ensure a clear view. Then:
- Camera Insertion: A flexible camera is inserted into the pipe.
- Location Tracking: Built-in transmitters allow us to trace and mark problem areas above ground.
- Diagnosis & Report: We identify the issue, document findings, and provide professional recommendations.
If required, we can send your inspection report directly to city or utility officials for sewer compliance requests.
When to Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection
Regular inspections can prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs.
You should schedule a camera inspection if you’re experiencing:
- Frequent clogs or backups in drains
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks
- Slow drainage throughout your home
- Unexplained odors or moisture around your yard
- Older plumbing systems or outdated materials (like clay or Orangeburg pipes)
We also recommend sewer camera inspections before major repairs, home purchases, or remodels to ensure your plumbing system is in good condition.

What Our Customers Say About Us











Kevin kept me updated every step of the way, even sending me photos of the old unit so I could understand what was going on from across the ocean. Once I decided to move forward with a full replacement, he skillfully handled everything, picked up the new water heater, installed it quickly, and followed up with photos of the completed work. (I’ve posted the before and after photos)
Before leaving, he left my mom his business card in case she needed anything else, which gave both of us peace of mind. The payment process was also seamless, they emailed me the invoice so I could take care of it directly, which was great because I didn’t want my mom to have to deal with any of it.
I truly appreciate the professionalism, communication, and efficiency Kevin and Discount Plumbing showed throughout the entire process. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for dependable plumbing service in San Francisco!
