A sewer camera inspection sends a small camera and light through your line from the cleanout, transmitting a live picture of the pipe's interior: root masses at the joints, scale crusting the walls, grease, bellies holding water, offsets, cracks, and the exact distance of each from the house. It converts drain work from opinion into evidence. The specialists behind this service treat the inspection not as an upsell but as the standard first move — and they walk you through the footage as it happens, because a homeowner who has seen their own pipe makes better decisions than one quoting from memory.
The inspection earns its fee in three situations above all. First, the recurring problem: any drain or main that has been cleared twice deserves a look before a third clearing. Second, the structural question: before jetting fragile clay, before relining, before excavation — the camera decides which doors are even open. Third, the property transaction: Greenwood homes change hands constantly, and a filmed sewer record is the only way to know whether the line under the lawn is an asset or a five-figure surprise scheduled for the first winter.
