Sewer Camera Inspection in San Diego
See exactly what's in your sewer line before spending money on repairs or buying a home. Recorded video, written report, straight answers.
San Diego's older neighborhoods, including La Mesa, El Cajon, Mission Valley, and National City, have clay and cast iron sewer lines installed in the 1950s through the 1970s that are at or well past their design life. These pipes develop root intrusion, bellied sections, offset joints, and cracks that cause recurring backups and eventually fail. A sewer camera inspection sends a waterproof video camera directly through your line so we can see the condition and identify problems precisely. We provide recorded footage and a written report. Whether you're investigating a recurring backup, doing due diligence before buying a home, or trying to understand why you need a repair, a camera inspection gives you the facts.

Identifies Root Cause of Recurring Backups
