What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection—and Why It’s Key to Keeping Your Drains Healthy

|

Your drains might seem fine on the surface, but what’s happening underground could tell a different story. Hidden blockages, cracks, or root intrusions can build up slowly—until one day, they cause a backup you weren’t expecting. 

That’s why smart homeowners are turning to sewer camera inspections. With the help of real-time video technology, we can take a clear look inside your pipes and catch problems early—before they get worse. 

What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection? 

A sewer camera inspection is a modern, non-invasive way to see what’s happening inside your drain and sewer lines. At  Zoom Drain Broward, we insert a high-resolution waterproof camera into your pipes to get a live video feed of their condition. 

No digging. No guesswork. Just a clear picture of what’s really going on. 

What Can It Help Identify? 

Sewer camera inspections help spot a wide range of issues, such as: 

  • Tree root intrusion: Roots can sneak into small cracks and grow inside your pipes, creating major blockages. 
     

  • Cracks or broken pipes: These can cause leaks, backups, and long-term damage if not addressed early. 
     

  • Grease buildup and debris:  Even small amounts can restrict flow and lead to recurring clogs. 
     

  • Foreign objects: Toys, wipes, or other items flushed accidentally can obstruct the line. 
     

  • Pipe misalignment or sagging: Often caused by shifting soil or aging materials, these problems reduce drainage efficiency. 
     

When Should You Schedule One? 

You don’t need to wait for a problem to get value from a sewer camera inspection. Here are the best times to consider it: 

  • Before buying a home: A visual inspection helps avoid surprises after closing. 
     

  • If you’re dealing with recurring clogs or backups:  It’s often a sign of a deeper issue. 
     

  • After a major storm or flood: Shifting soil can stress or damage underground pipes. 
     

  • Before starting any major plumbing work: A camera inspection helps your plumber plan with accuracy.
