Pennsylvania has one of the oldest housing stocks in the country, and the sewer lines under Philadelphia rowhomes and Pittsburgh hillside houses are often clay or cast iron that has been in the ground for generations. Freeze-thaw cycles, steep lots and big street trees add to the wear, and many rural homes use septic systems. For a property in Pennsylvania, a sewer camera inspection shows exactly what you have and where it is failing. Sewer Inspect Pros books the scope and the recorded video.

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Common questions about Sewer Camera Inspection in Pennsylvania — answered by our local plumbers.

Talk to a real person

What does a sewer camera inspection actually show?

It shows the inside of your main sewer line on video: the pipe material, the joints, and any roots, cracks, sags, offsets or debris, along with where the line meets the public main or septic tank. A distance counter records how far each problem sits from the access point, which helps anyone who later needs to dig or repair at that exact spot.

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.

What affects the price of a sewer camera inspection?

Price depends on how easy the line is to reach, how long it runs, whether it has to be cleared before the camera can pass, whether a locate and written report are included, and whether the job is residential or commercial. A line with an outdoor cleanout is simpler than one that means pulling a toilet or going in through a roof vent. Ask what the visit includes when you book.

Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?

Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.

How often should a sewer line be inspected?

There is no single rule. Many owners scope a line when they buy a home and again only if symptoms show up. Homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg pipe, large trees nearby, or a known defect being monitored benefit from a scope every year or two. Comparing each new video with the last one shows whether anything is changing.
