Overtime commercial pipes and drains can become backed up whether that be from invasive plants and animals, garbage from sites or even food and cooking oil. And if those clogs become more and more common, it’s time to schedule a video inspection to see if there is something else amiss, before it’s too late!

What is a Video Sewer Inspection?
A video sewer inspection is where one of our technicians will use a specialized camera similar to a plumber's snake to thoroughly examine your sewer line. Video inspections help your technician look for anomalies such as bellies, breaks, cracks, and any other obstructions that might contribute to recurring backups.
It’s important to note that there is some prep work before a video sewer inspection, where your technician will do a visual check to find the appropriate access points for the camera and identify any obstacles that might compromise the camera or its findings.
Benefits of Video Sewer Inspections
We typically recommend video sewer inspections to both commercial and multi-family properties if you’re experiencing recurring clogs, or hidden issues further down the line that traditional snaking or visual inspection can’t reach, and often miss.
Our specialized cameras can fit into almost any size pipe and are helpful for giving our team a more complete picture of the overall health of your plumbing system.
The benefits of a video sewer inspection include:
- Catch potential issues in real time
- Paint an overall picture of the health of your plumbing system
- No expensive excavation of your sewer lines
- Clean and efficient
Common Commercial Sewer Line Issues
There a couple tell-tale signs that you have sewer issues, including:
- Persistent odors
- Sewage backup into your building or yard
- Gurgling drains/toilet

Common Questions About Your Sewer Line
How serious is a cracked sewer line?
It’s important that you don’t ignore issues with your sewer line. If you think you might have a crack or damage, call us right away. Cracks can lead to significant property damage, affecting your home and yard. Cracked sewer lines can even let dirt, animals and other contaminants into your water supply, affecting your health.
How does your sewer system work?
Here in the Phoenix Area, your sewer lines take water and waste from your home to the larger sewer main. The sewer main then continues on to the treatment plant, which is generally located in a low-lying area. Once the wastewater reaches the plant, it undergoes a series of treatment stages.
