Sewer Camera Inspections in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland
Sewer Camera Inspections in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland
I still remember the sound—a weird gurgle from the sink that got worse every week. Soon, the drains got slow. Then came the worry. What was wrong? Was it a simple clog or a huge, expensive pipe problem? All I could picture was my yard being dug up and a bill I couldn’t afford.
That whole experience taught me that guessing is the most expensive thing you can do. A hidden pipe problem can be a nightmare, but finding the answer shouldn’t be. Our sewer camera inspection service shows you exactly what’s going on in your drains. You can fix the right problem the first time, with no guesswork.
What is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Think of it like a doctor’s visit for your pipes. A sewer camera inspection is a simple video check of your main sewer line. We guide a small, waterproof camera through the pipe and watch the live video on a screen.
This simple, no-dig check gives you a clear picture of your pipe’s health without tearing up your lawn.
What the Camera Can Find
Our camera is your eye underground. It can easily spot things like:
- Cracks, leaks, or broken pipe joints.
- Serious clogs from tree roots, grease, or debris.
- Pipe corrosion, rust, or “bellied” pipes that hold water.
- Hidden blockages that cause slow drains and backups.
