Sewer Line Video Inspection Fountain Valley
If your drains keep backing up or something smells off, it might be time for a sewer line video inspection in Fountain Valley. We use high-definition cameras to check your pipes from the inside—no guesswork, no digging first.
These inspections help spot cracks, roots, sagging pipes, grease buildup, and more. We often use these cameras just to make sure we did a good job of cleaning out a drain, especially after dealing with heavy clogs or root intrusions. Whether you’re buying a home, just had plumbing issues, or want to make sure your sewer line’s still good, we can check it fast. And yes, we show you the video too.
We run the camera in through a clean-out or access point and follow it all the way to the city tie-in. If something’s wrong, we’ll flag it, record it, and tell you what it means.

Story: Inspection Caught A Root Block Near Bushard and Ellis
Last summer, a homeowner near Bushard and Ellis called because their guest bathroom was gurgling when they used the kitchen sink. Everything still drained, but just barely.
We showed up with the sewer camera and ran it down the clean-out. About 35 feet out, there was a giant root ball wrapped around a cracked clay joint. The line wasn’t totally blocked—yet—but it would’ve backed up soon.
We cleared it with a flex-shaft machine, then patched the area with a trenchless sleeve. They didn’t need a single shovel. Total job time? Half a day.
Why Video Inspections Matter
You can snake a line 10 times and still not fix the issue if you don’t know what’s wrong. Cameras tell the truth. We use them for:
- Repeated backups
- Foul sewer smells
- Home inspections before buying
- Confirming pipe condition after construction
- Checking slope or settling issues
You’ll see everything for yourself, and we explain it right there on site.
Homeowner Prep for Sewer Camera Jobs
You don’t need to do much, but a few things help speed things up:
- Don’t run water for 1 hour before we arrive
- Clear access to the clean-out or main drain (garage, yard, or side alley)
- Let us know if you’ve had inspections or repairs before
No stress. We bring everything and clean up after.

DIY Mistake: Guessing What’s Clogged
Some folks try to diagnose sewer issues by running drain snakes, flush tests, or even digging trenches. But without a camera, it’s all just guessing.
We’ve seen people dig 6 feet down on the wrong side of the yard—only to find out the problem was 20 feet in the other direction. Or worse, patch over a root crack that comes right back.
Spend a little on the inspection now. Save a lot on avoidable repairs.
