Before we dig, we look. A sewer camera inspection lets us see exactly what's happening inside your line — roots, cracks, buildup, collapse, or offsets — without touching your yard. It takes about 30 minutes, and you see the footage with us in real time. A sewer inspection is also the cheapest way to find out nothing is wrong, which is how most of them end.

At Precision Sewer Line Repair CO, we're checking for anything that could be causing problems now or could cause problems soon:
After the inspection, we walk you through the footage and explain what we found. If repairs are needed, we'll lay out your options and pricing right there. Nothing gets recommended off a hunch. The footage from the sewer camera is what the plan is built on, and you keep a copy of it.
Usually through a cleanout or an existing drain opening. No digging needed. If there is no cleanout, we can usually reach the sewer through a toilet instead. Older plumbing sometimes needs a second entry point, and access is the only part that changes from house to house.
A small, high-definition camera on a flexible cable goes through your sewer line. The footage shows up on a monitor in real time. We use waterproof cameras rated for standing water, so a flooded section does not stop the inspection. Our sewer cameras handle it without a problem.
You see the footage with us. We explain what's normal, what's not, and what needs attention. You can ask the inspector to pause anywhere you want a closer look, and the sewer recording is yours to keep. Most people watch the whole inspection.
If everything looks good, we'll tell you. If there's a problem, we'll explain your options — whether that's a sewer line repair, trenchless fix, or a full replacement. Plenty of sewer inspections end with no work at all. When one does turn up a problem, you get the options and the pricing in the same visit.
Here are the general ranges we see:
| Inspection Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard camera inspection | $250 – $500 |
| Pre-purchase / home sale inspection | $250 – $500 |
| Inspection + locating (marking the problem area) | $300 – $600 |
Most inspections take about 30 minutes. If we find something that needs repair, the inspection cost is often credited toward the repair job. A lot of homeowners book one alongside drain cleaning, since the camera goes in through the same sewer access point.
About 30 minutes for a standard residential inspection. Longer lines or more complex systems may take a bit more. Your sewer inspector will flag that before starting rather than after, and the inspection still wraps up the same morning.
No. We access the line through a cleanout or an existing drain opening. No excavation needed. That holds for most Charlotte homes. Where the plumbing has been altered over the years we may need a second entry point for the camera, and the inspection takes a little longer.
We'd recommend it, especially for homes built before the 1980s. Older homes in Charlotte often have clay or cast iron sewer lines that could be cracking, corroding, or full of roots. A camera inspection before closing gives you the full picture. Sellers order them too. Having the sewer looked at before a buyer asks puts you ahead, and an older plumbing system is where the inspection matters most.
Yes. The camera tracks how far it's traveled into the line, and we can mark the location above ground so we know exactly where to dig if repairs are needed. The sewer camera counter is accurate to within a foot, so the fault gets marked before anyone breaks ground. It is the part of the inspection that saves the most money.
Then you have peace of mind and a baseline for future reference. Not every inspection leads to a repair. We log the date so the next inspection has something to compare against. Sewer problems develop slowly, and two inspections years apart show the direction things are heading.
Yes. We can provide the video footage for your records, which is especially useful for home sales or insurance purposes. Buyers, agents, and insurers all accept it. Ask for it on the day and the inspection video goes out the same afternoon.
