Inspection comes first
01 / Getting answers
Start inside the line
A camera view helps distinguish a blockage or buildup from a visible pipe defect.
01What does a sewer camera inspection show?
A camera travels through an accessible line so we can look for visible obstructions, buildup and defects. It helps locate the area of concern and gives us a basis for explaining what the pipe appears to need.
About camera inspections02Do you need access to the sewer line?
Yes. An inspection or internal repair needs a usable way into the line. We assess the available access along with the pipe condition before discussing what work is possible.
About inspection and locating03Is drain cleaning the same as cast iron descaling?
Not quite. Drain cleaning addresses an obstruction; descaling removes the rough buildup along the walls of a cast iron pipe. A camera inspection helps us understand which issue is present and assess the line before work is approved.

What happens after the camera view?
The defect, surrounding pipe and access all matter when considering a repair.
04Can every damaged pipe have a UV point repair?
No. UV point repair is an option for qualifying localized defects. We consider where the defect sits, the condition of the surrounding pipe and whether the line can be accessed before recommending it.
About UV point repair05Does trenchless repair mean no digging?
An internal point repair can minimize the need for traditional excavation when the defect and pipe qualify. It does not mean digging can be ruled out for every line. The inspection helps establish which repair approach fits.
