Customer Testimonials
Why Is Professional Video Camera Sewer Inspection Necessary?
When diagnosing sewer problems, guesswork just won’t cut it. You need a non-invasive, high-tech method to see exactly what’s happening inside your sewer lines in real time. It could be a hidden clog, tree root intrusion, or a cracked pipe deep underground. By utilizing this advanced inspection technology, we can identify issues early, prevent unnecessary excavation, and recommend the most effective and affordable solutions to keep your plumbing system running smoothly.
Here are a few reasons why homeowners and businesses should schedule a video camera sewer inspection in Portland:
- Pinpoint Problems Without Guesswork: Detect issues like clogs, cracks, corrosion, and root intrusions with real time video before they become emergencies. No unnecessary digging or demolition required.
- Prevent Expensive Repairs: Catch small issues before they become major, costly sewer emergencies with timely, preventive maintenance.
- Protect Against Portland’s Soil Shifting: Seasonal rain and seismic activity can cause soil to shift and damage underground pipes. Inspections help spot these problems early.
- Ensure a Smooth Home Purchase or Sale: Include a sewer line inspection in your home inspection to confirm the condition of sewer lines and avoid unpleasant and expensive surprises after closing.
- Verify Repairs and Maintenance: Confirm that recent plumbing work or repairs were thoroughly and effectively resolved and your system is operating as it should.
- Plan for Remodeling or Landscaping: Before construction or directional boring projects, inspections help identify sewer line locations and conditions to prevent damaging your infrastructure during excavation.
Once the inspection is complete, our expert Portland plumbers walk you through the video footage, explaining any issues we discovered—from root intrusions to cracked pipes or signs of soil shifting. You’re in control every step of the way. And if repairs are needed, they’re backed by Roto-Rooter’s trusted warranty and commitment to quality customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Roto-Rooter different from other Portland plumbing companies?
We combine decades of experience with advanced technology, 24/7 availability, and dedicated customer service. Whether you're calling about a single duct issue or need full construction support, our experienced plumbers provide honest answers, clear information, and complete plumbing solutions—from your kitchen sink to your septic tank.
Can a camera inspection locate sewer line breaks or bellies?
Absolutely. The video feed displays dips (bellies), offsets, broken joints, and cracks in real time. This lets us pinpoint the exact location and depth of the problem for targeted repair or replacement.
Is video camera inspection safe for old or fragile pipes?
Yes. Our video inspection tools are non-invasive and designed to safely navigate older, brittle, or corroded pipes without causing damage, making them ideal for Portland’s historic homes and aging infrastructure.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of the pipe and complexity of the system. Our Portland team provides a detailed report and footage afterward so you can make informed repair decisions.
Is video camera sewer inspection in Portland required before trenchless sewer repair?
Yes. A video inspection is a crucial first step in determining whether your line is eligible for trenchless repair. It helps us assess pipe condition, length, and blockage type before recommending the best solution.
Will I need to dig up my yard if there’s a problem?
Not always. If repairs are needed, Roto-Rooter offers directional drilling, trenchless solutions, and even directional boring that minimize disruption to your yard and landscaping. We only dig when absolutely necessary.
How often should I schedule a video camera sewer inspection in Portland?
We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 1–2 years as part of your regular maintenance routine. If your home has older pipes, sits on shifting soil, or you've experienced previous issues such as clogs or backups, more frequent checks may be necessary.
Is this service recommended for a home inspection before buying a house?
Absolutely. Many buyers and sellers in Portland include video camera sewer inspections during home inspections to assess hidden infrastructure problems. This evaluation is a smart move that could save you thousands in unexpected plumbing costs down the road.
