Plumbing problems often hide below the surface, and by the time you notice signs like slow drains or foul smells, the issue may already be serious. That’s where video sewer inspections come in.

At MM Plumbing, we use high-resolution camera equipment to inspect your sewer lines from the inside. This advanced technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of clogs, cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion — all without tearing up your yard or flooring.

What Is a Video Sewer Inspection?

A video sewer inspection involves inserting a waterproof camera into your drain or sewer line. The camera is attached to a flexible cable that feeds through the pipe, transmitting real-time footage to a monitor. This gives our technicians a clear view of what’s happening inside your plumbing system.

Unlike older methods that rely on guesswork or excavation, video inspections are precise, efficient, and minimally disruptive.

Why Homeowners and Business Owners Should Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection

Here are a few common reasons to request a video sewer inspection:

• Persistent Drain Issues: If plungers and drain cleaners aren’t working, it’s time to find out what’s really going on.

• Unusual Odors or Sewage Smells: A cracked or blocked sewer line could be the culprit.

• Before Buying or Remodeling a Property: Ensure the plumbing system is in good shape before investing in upgrades.

• After Tree Root Intrusion: Roots often break into older pipes. A video inspection helps verify the damage.

• Recurring Backups: If clogs keep coming back, there may be a bigger problem deeper in the line.

Video inspections provide more than just answers. They offer peace of mind and a path to long-term solutions.

What We Look for During an Inspection

Our experienced technicians are trained to identify:

Once we identify the issue, we walk you through what we see on screen, explain your options, and provide a clear estimate for any recommended repairs.
