Sewer Camera Inspection in Sterling Heights, MI

A sewer camera inspection sends a high-resolution video scope through your line so we — and you — can see the real condition of the pipe: where the blockage is, whether it's grease, roots, or sediment, and whether the pipe itself is sound. It removes the guesswork from drain and sewer work.

It's the step that makes hydro jetting safe: by confirming the pipe can handle high pressure before we jet, the inspection protects older and fragile lines. It's also invaluable before a home purchase or after recurring clogs.

Here's how it works. A waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed through a cleanout or drain access and pushed along the line while the live video is read on a monitor. Because the camera reports its depth and location, we can pinpoint exactly where a problem sits — say, a root mass at a joint twenty feet out, or a low spot where sediment collects — instead of guessing from the symptoms. That precision means the right fix the first time: the correct nozzle for jetting, or a targeted repair at a known spot rather than digging up the whole yard to find it.

A camera inspection earns its keep in a few common situations. After a clog that keeps coming back, it shows the underlying cause the symptoms can't. Before hydro jetting an older Sterling Heights line, it confirms the cast-iron or clay pipe is structurally sound enough for high pressure. And before buying a home, it reveals the true condition of a sewer line that's otherwise completely hidden — potentially saving a buyer from inheriting an expensive surprise. In every case, you see the footage yourself, so the recommendation that follows is something you can verify, not just take on faith.
