Most sewer projects begin with a camera inspection. Our technicians locate the home's sewer cleanout and use a high-definition Milwaukee sewer camera to inspect the line from the house to the city main.
During the inspection, we identify the pipe size, material, length, and overall condition while looking for root intrusion, debris buildup, separated joints, sagging sections, house traps, or collapsed pipe.
If the line is blocked by roots or debris, we may recommend cleaning the sewer before performing a complete inspection. If a house trap is preventing access, we can provide options for removing the trap and completing the inspection. Once the condition of the sewer is known, we provide recommendations ranging from spot repairs to full trenchless replacement.
What the camera finds
Final pricing depends on line length, pipe material, and access. We confirm everything before any work begins.
When our camera goes in the ground, we usually know what we're going to find before we see it. There's a lot of history in these pipes.
Driveways and sidewalks stay completely untouched.
Turf, gardens, irrigation, and trees left intact.
Most trenchless repairs are wrapped in a single day.
A basic sewer camera inspection within our service area is $250. An inspection with a full locate and written report is $450. Additional drive time applies for locations outside our standard service area.
Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes on site. We send an HD camera from the cleanout at your home all the way to the main sewer line so you can see exactly what is happening in real time.
Root intrusion, cracked or separated pipe joints, collapsed sections, bellies or sags in the line, grease buildup, and foreign objects. The camera gives us a clear picture of the entire line before we recommend anything.
Yes, strongly recommended. Older Duluth homes commonly have clay tile or Orangeburg sewer lines that show no surface symptoms but are failing underground. A $250 inspection before closing can identify a $10,000 problem.
Always. We cannot quote a lining solution without first running a camera from the house to the main. It tells us whether the pipe can hold a liner, where the failures are, and which repair method makes the most sense.
The thing people say most: they couldn't tell we were ever there.

A camera inspection takes 30 minutes and tells you exactly what's wrong and what every option costs. Most people are relieved by that conversation.
