Sewer Camera Inspections
A sewer camera inspection evaluates the condition of the home’s main sewer line using a specialized camera. This helps identify potential concerns such as blockages, root intrusion, or damaged pipes that may not be visible during a standard home inspection.
Who This Inspection Is For
Sewer camera inspections are designed for homebuyers and homeowners who want additional insight into the condition of the home’s main sewer line.
This inspection is especially helpful for:
- older homes
- properties with large trees
- homes with slow drains or past sewer concerns
- situations where the condition of the sewer line is unknown
Sewer camera inspections are often scheduled alongside a Buyer Home Inspection to provide a more complete understanding of the property's condition before closing.
What’s Included in a Sewer Camera Inspection
- Camera inspection of the main sewer line from accessible entry points
- Visual evaluation of pipe condition, material, and general flow
- Identification of common concerns such as blockages, damage, or root intrusion
- Video documentation of observed conditions
This inspection is non-invasive and provides visual information about the sewer line that cannot be seen during a standard home inspection.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
When is a sewer camera inspection recommended?
It's especially helpful for older homes with cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipe. It's also worth considering on any home where you want additional confidence about the main sewer line before closing.
Does a standard home inspection include the sewer line?
No. A standard inspection evaluates visible plumbing inside the home but does not include a camera inspection of the main sewer line — that is a separate add-on service.
What can a sewer camera inspection find?
Blockages, root intrusion, pipe offset or collapse, corrosion, and other defects not visible during a standard inspection.
