What to Expect During Your Sewer Camera Inspection

Sewer line cameras provide a non-destructive way to inspect the interior of your underground pipes. 

Here’s what to expect when Mother inspects your sewer lateral with our advanced video technology:

How our sewer camera system works

The technology that drives sewer video cameras has evolved and improved drastically in the last 5 years. Mother utilizes the most current, state-of-the-art equipment in every DFW home inspection.

Here’s a closer look at the key components of our modern camera equipment:

• The sewer line camera: We utilize a small, waterproof, high-resolution video camera. The camera head contains LED lights to illuminate the dark areas inside your sewer pipe. Our advanced sewer cameras zoom, pan and tilt, and self-level to provide high definition, upright images at all times.
• The cable and reel: The camera is attached to the end of a long, flexible cable (“the snake”). It’s sturdy and flexible — this allows the camera to push through the twists and turns of your sewer line. The cable is mounted on a reel for easy deployment and retrieval of the camera.
• The control unit and monitor: A control unit is mounted at the end of the camera cable. It houses a monitor displaying the live video feed from the camera. We adjust lights, zoom and orient the camera from the control unit. A distance counter measures precise distance from the control unit to the camera — we’ll know precisely where your issue exists and how to access it. 

The sewer line camera inspection process

When your expert Mother plumber arrives, expect nothing but prompt, professional service from start to finish. Your sewer line camera inspection consists of 4 simple steps:

1. We locate the best possible access point in your sewer line to insert the camera. This is usually your sewer line cleanout. 
2. Your plumber inserts and carefully moves the cable through your pipe, navigating bends and potential obstructions. 
3. We monitor the video feed in real time. This allows your plumber to visually inspect the pipe walls for issues like cracks, leaks, blockages, corrosion, and misaligned joints.  
4. If a problem is identified, we know precisely where it is. We use the onboard distance counter to pinpoint the exact location of the issue above ground.  

5 Ways Sewer Camera Inspections Save You Money

Our research team analyzed the last 5 years of Mother sewer video inspection service calls. We discovered that this appointment saved Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners between $500-$2,500 in future sewer repair or replacement costs.

These cost savings manifest in 5 ways for DFW homeowners:

1. Early Detection of Problems: The camera identifies minor issues like small cracks, root intrusion, or debris buildup before they cause major blockages or pipe collapses. Addressing these problems early is significantly cheaper than dealing with extensive damage and emergency repairs.  
2. Accurate Diagnosis: Mother was recently called in for a second opinion on another plumber’s sewer line repair estimate. Our sewer camera inspection revealed a simple clog, rather than a massive blockage. We saved the homeowner thousands of dollars on their repair bill.
3. Avoidance of Emergency Repairs: By identifying and addressing potential issues early, homeowners avoid the higher costs associated with emergency plumbing services and secondary damage from sewage backups.  
4. Less Invasive Repairs: Precise location of your problem helps avoid unnecessary trenching and excavation. Mother utilizes trenchless sewer line repair technology — specifically trenchless pipe bursting — that starts with no-dig sewer camera inspections. 
5. Insurance Claims: Documentation from a sewer camera inspection is incredibly valuable when filing insurance claims for sewer line damage. You’re more likely to be reimbursed for sewer repair costs with visual proof from a certified plumber’s camera inspection.
