What is a Sewer Line Camera?

Our team at J.D. Johnson Waterproofing utilizes sewer line cameras to diagnose and resolve your sewer lateral issues expertly. A sewer line camera, otherwise known as a drain inspection camera, is a sophisticated device used by our professionals to visually inspect the interiors of sewer pipes and drains. This device includes a miniature camera fixed to a flexible rod or cable inserted into the sewer line to transmit real-time video of the pipe’s interior condition.

Designed to maneuver through the pipes, our sewer inspection cameras deliver a comprehensive view from the inside. They are equipped with high-intensity LED lights to ensure clarity and detail in the captured images. This technology is instrumental in identifying blockages, damages, or other concerns within the sewer lines. The camera’s robust design ensures it withstands the challenging conditions within sewer lines.

The video is displayed live, enabling our technicians to thoroughly evaluate the sewer line’s status and pinpoint any existing or potential sewer issues. From blockages and leaks to root infiltration and structural concerns, the camera reveals everything, guiding our team in determining the optimal solution to any sewer or drainage problem.

How Does a Sewer Camera Inspection Work?

A sewer line camera works by capturing real-time video footage of the interior of sewer pipes and drains. Here’s a general overview of how a sewer line camera works:

  • Camera and Cable: The sewer line camera consists of a small, waterproof camera attached to the end of a flexible rod. The camera is mounted on a swiveling head, allowing for 360-degree rotation and providing a comprehensive view of the pipe’s interior.
  • Insertion and Navigation: he camera is inserted into the sewer line through an access point. The flexible rod lets the camera navigate the pipe’s twists, turns and bends.
  • Illumination: The camera is equipped with bright LED lights around its lens. These lights illuminate the interior of the sewer pipe, ensuring clear visibility and capturing detailed images even in dark or dimly lit environments.
  • Live Video Feed: The camera is connected to a monitor or screen, which displays the live video feed from the camera. This allows the plumber or technician to observe and assess the sewer line’s condition in real-time.
  • Inspection and Diagnosis: As the camera moves through the sewer line, it captures high-quality video footage of the pipe’s interior. The technician can observe the video feed to identify issues or abnormalities like blockages, cracks, leaks, root intrusions, or other structural defects.

This non-invasive method enables our team at J.D. Johnson Waterproofing to conduct comprehensive inspections with minimal disruption, providing a clear view of your sewer line’s condition for precise repairs or maintenance.

When Should I Have My Sewer Lines Inspected?

A sewer camera line inspection will identify all types of problems, such as root intrusion, broken pipes, blockages, and more. These cameras also help identify grease buildup, leaks, and obstructions. The sewer camera inspection can be repeated after any service is performed to verify that the line has been properly cleaned or repaired. A video camera inspection is recommended if you have experienced repeated drain backups, slow drains, or clogs.
