Professional plumbing solutions delivered by Tucson's trusted plumbing experts. See exactly what's causing your plumbing problems with our advanced video diagnostics.
Advanced Video Sewer Diagnostics
Stop guessing about your plumbing problems. Our state-of-the-art sewer camera inspections provide a clear, real-time look inside your pipes to identify exact issues without unnecessary excavation.
What Is A Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a high-resolution, waterproof video camera attached to a flexible rod deep into your plumbing system. This technology transmits real-time video to a monitor, allowing our technicians to visually inspect the entire length of your underground pipes.
Why Homeowners Need It
If you are experiencing recurring drain clogs, frequent sewer backups, slow drains, or foul sewer odors, you need to know exactly what is causing the problem. Trial-and-error repairs are expensive and rarely provide a permanent solution.
Immediate Benefits
The primary benefit is an accurate diagnosis. By seeing exactly what the problem is, whether it's a cracked pipe, a bellied line, or invasive roots, we can formulate the most effective and efficient repair plan, resulting in faster repairs and reduced excavation.
Long-Term Value
Regular sewer camera inspections are a vital component of preventative maintenance. By identifying minor issues like small cracks or early root intrusion before they escalate into major pipe collapses, you protect your property from extensive damage.
What Our Cameras Find
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots penetrating pipe joints seeking moisture, causing severe blockages and structural damage.
Pipe Cracks & Collapses
Aging pipes that have deteriorated, cracked, or completely collapsed under the weight of the soil.
Bellied Sewer Lines
Sections of pipe that have sunk due to soil movement, creating a valley that collects waste.
Grease & Scale Buildup
Heavy accumulation of fats, oils, and hard water minerals narrowing the pipe diameter.
Offset Pipe Joints
Sections of pipe that have shifted and no longer align properly, causing snags and leaks.
Foreign Obstructions
Non-flushable items or debris that have become lodged deep within the sewer system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sewer camera inspection?
A sewer camera inspection involves running a specialized, waterproof video camera through your sewer lines to visually inspect the condition of the pipes, identify blockages, and locate damage without digging.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Tucson?
Costs vary depending on the length of the line and access points. We provide upfront pricing before beginning the inspection. It is a highly cost-effective diagnostic tool compared to exploratory excavation.
What can a sewer camera find?
Sewer cameras can identify tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, bellied lines, grease buildup, scale accumulation, offset joints, and foreign objects causing blockages.
Is a sewer camera inspection worth it?
Absolutely. It eliminates guesswork, ensures you only pay for necessary repairs, and can prevent catastrophic sewer failures by catching minor issues early.
Do I need a sewer inspection before buying a home?
Yes. Standard home inspections rarely cover underground sewer lines. A camera inspection protects you from inheriting thousands of dollars in hidden plumbing repair costs.
Can a sewer camera detect tree roots?
Yes, tree roots are one of the most common issues we identify. The camera clearly shows where roots have penetrated the pipe joints so we can recommend targeted root removal or repair.
