What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection is a non-invasive method of examining the inside of your drain and sewer lines using a high-resolution waterproof camera attached to a flexible rod. The camera travels through your pipes and transmits live video footage, allowing our technicians to assess the condition of your system accurately.
Unlike traditional methods, a sewer inspection eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary excavation. It’s the fastest and most cost-effective way to detect sewer issues.

Common Problems found by Sewer Camera Inspections
Sewer camera inspections are an important tool in identifying common residential plumbing problems. Here are some of the ones our ProStar Plumbing pros encounter most:
Blocked Pipes
One issue that homeowners deal with frequently are blocked pipes. Often, the main sewer line is punctured by invasive tree roots, clogged by accumulated debris, or blocked by a build-up of non-flushable items that constrict the flow of water.
Corroded or Inferior Pipes
Another common problem detected is pipe corrosion. Older homes, especially those with cast iron plumbing, can suffer from corroded pipes. The pipes are continually exposed to moisture and temperature fluctuations, causing them to rust and degrade. Eventually these weak spots lead to leaks and breaks. Sewer camera inspections can also detect pipes that are too narrow, or made of outdated material, that could lead to extensive damage in the future.
Sagging Pipes & Broken Joints
Sewer camera inspections frequently reveal bellied or sagging pipes. This happens when the soil they are buried in shifts or is compressed during construction. The valley that is left collects waste and creates blockages. This service can also identify leaking pipe joints, which allow water to leak into the areas surrounding the pipe. This results in significant issues such as yards saturated with wastewater, as well as mould growth in ground-level rooms or structural damage to your home’s foundation.
Sewer Camera Inspection for New Homebuyers
Purchasing a home is a significant investment and it's crucial to conduct thorough checks in your due diligence phase. Standard home inspections do not include plumbing beyond basic functionality. Choosing ProStar for a sewer camera inspection guarantees you’ll have professional guidance and the chance to detect any underlying issues like blockages, leaks, or deteriorations. Despite being out of sight, the condition of the sewer system can greatly affect the value and livability of a house. Paying for a sewer camera inspection before buying a house can provide peace of mind and potentially save you from unexpected, costly repairs in the future.

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works
First a ProStar Plumbing technician locates the main sewer line cleanout for your home. They insert the camera, attached to a flexible cable, into the pipes. This waterproof device is then fed through the plumbing while sending a live video feed to a monitor above ground. The technician navigates your home’s sewer and septic lines to identify areas of concern without excavating large lengths of pipe. Once the technician discovers the source of your plumbing problems, they will discuss your options and provide honest, transparent pricing for any work to be done.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
It greatly depends on the age and material of your plumbing, as well as daily habits. If you use “flushable” wipes, other hygiene products, or highly moisturizing soaps and hair conditioners, your pipes are more likely to have an obstruction.
