Seven Questions a Sewer Inspection Should Answer
The camera is only one part of the service; access, coverage, interpretation, and documentation determine its value.
Know what the appointment should accomplish before the camera enters the line.
Can the line be accessed safely?
A suitable cleanout generally provides the most direct inspection path. Alternate access can change the appointment.
What material is present?
Material helps explain the significance of joints, scaling, roots, deformation, and age-related deterioration.
Was the visible line traversed?
Standing water, blockages, bends, and access constraints can limit coverage and should be noted.
What should happen next?
The final explanation should distinguish serviceable conditions from cleaning needs, monitoring items, and repair concerns.
