Sewer Camera Inspections Explained

The sewer camera is a portable fiber optic camera about the size of a smartphone camera, which is attached to a long flexible metal cable that rolls off a spool. Our expert technicians feed the camera through a sewer cleanout. From there they can inspect the sewer for breaks, grease, roots, collapsing pipes, or buildups. If there is no cleanout or inspection port available, our professionals can easily make one!

Why We Use It

Anytime there is a clogged sewer lateral, we use our sewer inspection camera. It is very important to understand the condition of the sewer we are servicing. A proper video camera inspection allows us to make an appropriate analysis on the sewer. These inspections allow us to determine which method is proper for the repair. Without an accurate sewer inspection, you could be looking at unnecessary excavation and sewer replacement costs.

GENTEEL Expert Tips

Never use chemical drain cleaner as it contains sulphuric acid and can be very harmful to your pipes. It is not worth saving a few dollars, because it will end up costing you more. More specifically old buildings, especially in San Francisco, can be upwards of 100 years old. Most of them have the original pipes. After many years these homes will settle, causing the once sloping drain pipes to have flat spots. After chemical drain cleaner is used, it can collect and remain in these flat spots. The drain cleaner has the potential to eat through the pipes, thus causing very expensive damage.
