What It Is
What It Is
A sewer camera inspection pushes a waterproof CCTV camera through the drain or sewer line to visually inspect its condition, find blockages and defects, and produce a recorded report.
We pair the camera with a sonde and locator to mark the depth and location of any problem on the surface, so the next step is targeted instead of guesswork.
Our Process
How a Camera Inspection Works
We insert the camera from a cleanout, record the run, identify defects such as roots, cracks, bellies, offset joints, or Orangeburg deformation, then locate and mark the problem area's depth and position so a repair is targeted.
01
Access
We insert the camera from a clean-out and feed it through the drain or sewer line.
02
Record
We record the entire run so the condition of the line is captured, not just described.
03
Identify
We pinpoint defects such as roots, cracks, bellies, offset joints, or Orangeburg deformation.
04
Locate
We use a sonde and locator to mark the problem area's depth and position so any repair is targeted.
Why & When
When a Camera Inspection Pays Off
Problems It Solves
Customers want a camera when they don't know what's causing a clog, when backups keep returning, when they're buying a home, or when they need to locate a line before any excavation or repair.
Timing & Triggers
The best times for an inspection are before buying a home, before any trenchless repair, after repeat clogs, or to document a line for warranty or insurance.
Who Needs It
We serve home buyers and real-estate agents, homeowners with recurring problems, and anyone weighing a sewer repair quote.
Risks of Waiting
Skipping an inspection means repairing blind, paying to dig in the wrong spot, or buying a home with a hidden five-figure sewer problem nobody disclosed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a sewer camera inspection cost in Ogden?
A standard camera inspection or diagnostic is $250–$300, and a pre-purchase sewer scope is $250–$300. If the inspection leads to a repair with us, that cost is often credited toward the job.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
Yes, especially on older Ogden-area homes. A sewer scope can reveal roots, cracks, bellies, or Orangeburg pipe before you buy, which is often a five-figure problem you'd otherwise inherit.
Can you tell exactly where the problem is?
Yes. We use a sonde and locator to mark the depth and surface location of the defect, so any repair is targeted rather than exploratory digging.
Do I get a copy of the inspection video?
Yes. We provide a recorded report so you can see the condition of your line and keep it for insurance, a real-estate transaction, or your records.
What problems can a camera inspection find?
Tree-root intrusion, cracks and breaks, bellies (low spots that hold water), offset or separated joints, scale buildup, and deteriorated pipe materials such as Orangeburg and cast iron.
