Sewer Camera Inspection in Windermere, FL

A sewer camera inspection can help us see what is happening inside an underground drain or sewer line without immediately resorting to excavation. If you are dealing with repeated clogs, slow drains, backups, foul odors, or unexplained wet areas in your yard, a camera inspection can help identify the source of the problem.

We use a sewer scope, which is a flexible cable equipped with a waterproof camera, to inspect the inside of accessible drain and sewer piping. The footage can reveal blockages, deterioration, root intrusion, damaged pipe, and other conditions that may be affecting your plumbing system.

When to Consider an Inspection

A sewer camera inspection may be appropriate if:

When several fixtures are affected at once, the problem may be located in the main drain or sewer line rather than at an individual fixture.

Questions to Ask Before the Inspection

You may want to ask us:

Will I be able to review the camera findings?
Where will you access the line?
Is any excavation expected just to complete the inspection?
What happens if the camera cannot pass a blockage?
Can the problem be cleaned, or does the pipe need repair?
Is hydro-jetting appropriate?
Would trenchless repair be an option?
What will the recommended work cost?
Are there warranties associated with any repairs?

We can explain what we see and why we are recommending a particular next step.
