SEWER CAMERA
INSPECTIONS
Recurring drain clogs or sewer backups? A sewer camera inspection can help identify visible problems inside your line and guide the next step.
TEXAS ROOTS. TEXAS TOUGH.
WHAT IS A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION?
A sewer camera inspection allows a plumber to visually examine the inside of an accessible sewer or drain line using specialized video equipment. The camera travels through the pipe, helping identify visible obstructions, cracks, root intrusion, separated joints, and other potential problems.
At Paul J Plumbing, we believe customers deserve to understand what may be causing their plumbing problems before deciding on repairs. Camera inspections can provide valuable information that helps determine the appropriate next step.
Not every pipe condition can be identified through video alone. If the camera cannot pass through a blockage or visibility is limited, cleaning or additional testing may be necessary.
WHEN DO YOU NEED A SEWER CAMERA INSPECTION?
Some sewer problems develop slowly while others cause sudden backups. If you notice any of these warning signs, professional inspection may help identify the underlying issue.
REPEATED DRAIN CLOGS
Drains that continue clogging after cleaning may have a deeper obstruction or pipe problem.
MULTIPLE SLOW DRAINS
When several fixtures drain slowly, the issue may involve the main sewer line.
SEWER BACKUPS
Wastewater returning through toilets, tubs, or drains may signal an obstruction or damage.
GURGLING TOILETS
Unusual bubbling or gurgling may indicate problems in the connected drainage system.
UNPLEASANT SEWER ODORS
Persistent sewage smells may indicate a drainage or sewer concern requiring evaluation.
SUSPECTED TREE ROOTS
Roots can enter damaged underground pipes, restrict wastewater flow, and contribute to recurring backups.
