Plain-language findings

A sewer camera inspection puts a waterproof camera on a flexible push rod and sends it down the main drain line. The head carries its own lights, and a counter on the reel records how many feet of cable are out, so every crack or root shows up with a distance attached. Most homes in Danforth, IL have one main line leaving the house, and that is the line the camera follows.

What the footage shows

  • Pipe material and where it changes, such as cast iron inside the house switching to clay or PVC in the yard
  • Standing water that marks a belly, or low spot, in the line
  • Offset joints where one section has dropped or shifted against the next
  • Root strands or root masses coming through joints
  • Cracks, holes, crushed sections and heavy scale

Access and length of the run

The tech enters through a cleanout when there is one. Without a cleanout, a toilet can be pulled and the camera sent in at the flange, or the run can start from a roof vent. Push cameras typically reach 100 to 200 feet, which covers the distance to the public main on most residential lots.

After the run

You can watch the monitor during the inspection and ask about anything on screen. The recording is yours to keep. It gives any contractor you call something concrete to price against, and it gives you a baseline to compare with if the line acts up later.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Questions we hear most often about Sewer Camera Inspection in Danforth, IL.

Talk to a real person
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
On most older homes, and on any lot with large trees near the sewer route, it is worth doing. A general home inspection does not look inside the buried line, and sewer replacement can be one of the larger repair bills a new owner faces. Schedule the scope inside your inspection contingency so the findings can still shape your offer.
What is a belly in a sewer line?
A belly is a section of pipe that has sunk lower than the pipe on either side, usually because the soil underneath settled or washed out. On video it shows up as standing water that the camera dips into. Waste and paper collect in the low spot, so a line with a belly tends to clog again and again. Shallow bellies may only need monitoring; deep ones often need the section re-laid.
Are roots in the sewer line a reason to walk away from a house?
Not by themselves. Light roots at a joint or two are common in older lines and can often be cleared, with the joints sealed later by a liner or spot repair. What matters more is whether roots have cracked or displaced the pipe, how many joints are affected and what the pipe is made of. Get a repair quote based on the footage before deciding.
Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?
Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.
Do I get to keep the sewer inspection video?
You should. Ask for the recorded footage as a file or link, along with the written notes, before the visit ends, and keep it with your property records. The video helps with repair bids, home sales and insurance questions, and it gives you a baseline to compare against if the line starts acting up years from now.
