About this service
What a Sewer Camera Inspection Shows
A waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed into the sewer line through a cleanout or drain. The plumber watches the live picture and can see blockages, roots, cracks, offset joints and sagging sections, and roughly where they are.
Many Boston homes have sewer lines that are decades old, often cast iron or clay, where roots and cracks are common. A camera inspection is worth it before buying an older home, and whenever the same line keeps clogging.
