What You Get With a Camera Run

A camera run is more than a quick look. These are the pieces of every inspection.

A run from the cleanout or a toilet: We use a push camera with a self leveling head, so the picture stays upright as it moves through the pipe.

A live view with you: You watch the screen while we go, and we pause at each problem to explain it.

A footage counter: It records how far into the line each problem sits, so the location is exact.

Locating and depth: Our sewer camera locate Middletown CT service uses a sonde locator to mark the spot on the ground, and sewer line depth locating tells you how deep it is.

A video recording and a plain note: You keep the video, with the problem spots and depths written down.

Why Old Laterals Need a Look Inside

About a quarter of Middletown homes were built before 1950, and the median build year is 1972. Many laterals under them are clay or cast iron that has been in the ground a very long time.

Clay and Cast Iron Past Their Prime

Old pipe cracks, shifts and fills with scale, and none of that shows from the yard. A camera shows what shape the line is really in before a clog or a backup forces the question.

Why Does My Sewer Keep Backing Up?

A sewer that keeps backing up has a cause that cleaning alone does not remove, such as a sag, an offset joint or roots. The camera finds it, so the fix matches the problem.

Stop Paying for the Same Clog

Without a picture, you pay to clear the same clog again and again. One video costs less than several repeat cleanings, and it shows whether you need a fix or just regular cleaning.

A Camera Run From Clear Line to Final Note

This is how a typical inspection runs. It follows the same order every time.

Clear the line first if blocked: A camera cannot show the pipe wall through a full clog.

Run the camera: We feed it through the cleanout or a toilet and watch the live view.

Pause at each issue: We stop at every problem and note the footage mark.

Locate and mark the ground: The locator shows where the pipe is and how deep.

Review with the owner: We walk you through what we saw, in plain words.

Send the video and note: You get the recording and a short written summary.

Problems a Camera Finds Underground

A camera shows what a cable cannot. Here is what we look for and what each one means.

Roots: Fine hairs or thick masses at the joints.

Grease: A heavy coat that narrows the pipe.

Scale: Rough buildup inside old cast iron.

Sags: A belly in sewer line that holds water and debris.

Offset joints: Two pipe ends that no longer line up.

Cracks: Cracked sewer pipe signs include long lines or missing pieces.

Collapsed pipe: A section that has caved in.

Orangeburg: An old fiber pipe that softens and deforms over time.

The city connection: Where your lateral meets the main in the street.
