Accurate, Non-Invasive Sewer Line Inspections 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- Older plumbing systems or outdated materials (like clay or Orangeburg pipes)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.
