What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?

A sewer camera inspection in Seattle uses waterproof HD cameras mounted on flexible cables to capture real-time footage inside your sewer lines. The images transmit directly to a monitor, giving Roto-Rooter technicians a clear view of your system without digging or disrupting your property. This technology is especially helpful for Seattle’s aging infrastructure, from historic homes in Capitol Hill to modern builds in Bellevue.

By removing guesswork, camera inspections provide the evidence you need to make informed decisions about repairs or preventive maintenance. Digital recordings become part of your property’s history, useful for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and future upkeep. For a clear look at your sewer system’s health, contact Roto-Rooter Seattle for a professional camera inspection that keeps you in control of your home’s plumbing.

Sewer Camera Inspection Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is sewer camera inspection worth it?

Yes, it’s worth it because it provides a clear, real-time view inside your pipes. Our technicians can quickly spot blockages, cracks, or tree root intrusion without digging. This saves time, reduces costs, and helps prevent major plumbing emergencies.

What is the difference between a borescope and a sewer camera?

A borescope is a small tool used for short, narrow spaces like engines or walls. A sewer camera is waterproof, more durable, and designed specifically for plumbing systems. It can travel long distances through sewer lines and withstand harsh conditions for accurate inspections.

Sewer camera inspection costs in Seattle vary based on your property’s size and the complexity of access. Roto-Rooter provides transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Call 206-935-6600 for a free estimate tailored to your home’s specific needs.

When Do You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection in Seattle?

Seattle’s heavy rainfall, aging sewer lines, and shifting soils create unique challenges for homeowners. Scheduling a camera inspection at the right time can help prevent hidden damage and costly repairs.

  • Recurring plumbing issues – Frequent drain backups, unusually slow drains, or gurgling noises during storms often point to deeper sewer line problems.
  • Warning signs around your property – Sewage odors, soggy yard patches, or tree root infiltration from Seattle’s maples and firs can all indicate leaks or pipe failure.
  • Major changes or risks – Buying or renovating a home, or recovering after storms or seismic activity, make inspections essential for verifying sewer health and preventing future problems.

Don’t wait for minor warning signs to turn into major repairs. Schedule a sewer camera inspection in Seattle with Roto-Rooter today to protect your home.

Our Camera Inspection Process in Seattle

This process is designed for Seattle’s unique challenges, including maple and fir tree root infiltration, earthquake-related pipe misalignment, and the effects of heavy rainfall on aging infrastructure.

Step 1: Access the Sewer Line. We locate the best entry point, typically through an existing cleanout or by temporarily removing a toilet, to begin the inspection.

Step 2: Insert the Camera. A waterproof HD camera is guided through your sewer line while our technicians monitor live video above ground.

Step 3: Identify and Document Issues. We capture footage of blockages, cracks, corrosion, misaligned joints, and other problem areas, marking exact locations for repair planning.

Step 4: Report and Recommend. After reviewing the footage, our team provides a digital report with HD video, images, and clear recommendations for maintenance, repair, or upgrades.
