What a Sewer Camera Inspection Really Does
Think of a sewer video inspection as a checkup for your home’s underground plumbing system. Using a flexible, waterproof camera attached to a cable, we navigate through your sewer lines, sending real-time footage to a monitor.
This process allows us to see the exact condition of your pipes, spotting everything from:
- Tree root intrusions
- Cracks and fractures
- Collapsed or misaligned pipe sections
- Heavy grease or soap buildup
- Foreign objects lodged in the line
The difference between guessing and knowing is huge—especially when sewer repairs can involve excavation. Our inspection takes the mystery out of the equation.
When to Consider a Sewer Video Inspection
You don’t need to wait for a full-blown emergency to benefit from this service. In fact, early detection often means saving thousands in repairs. You should schedule an inspection if:
- Multiple drains clog or back up at the same time
- Your toilet gurgles when you run the sink or shower
- There’s a persistent sewer smell inside or outside
- You notice damp, foul-smelling patches in your yard
- Your water bill has spiked unexpectedly
- You’re buying or selling a property in Burbank or nearby
Many homeowners in Studio City and Sherman Oaks book an inspection before remodeling—especially if plumbing changes are involved.
Why This Technology Matters
Before camera technology, plumbers had to dig to find the source of sewer problems—a disruptive and expensive process. Today, we can visually inspect your sewer lines with minimal disturbance to your property.
This approach is:
- Faster – Inspections usually take less than an hour.
- More Accurate – We see the problem directly, so repairs are targeted.
- Less Invasive – No need to tear up landscaping or floors unnecessarily.
It’s not just about convenience—it’s about making sure every dollar you spend addresses the actual issue.
The Real Benefits to You
When you schedule a sewer video inspection with Proview Plumbing & Rooter, you’re getting more than a service—you’re getting peace of mind.
Here’s why our customers love it:
- You control the decision – With video evidence, you can choose the repair option that makes the most sense for your budget and timeline.
- It prevents recurring problems – We get to the root cause (sometimes literally), so issues stop coming back.
- It protects your investment – Knowing your sewer line is in good condition is invaluable when buying or selling property.
Homeowners have told us the biggest benefit isn’t just the repair—it’s the relief of finally understanding what’s happening under their home.
For Businesses, Prevention Is Profit
In commercial districts like Downtown Burbank, Media District, and Glendale, a sewer problem can shut down operations in an instant. Restaurants, offices, and retail spaces can’t afford unexpected closures.
We offer commercial sewer video inspections that help property managers and business owners catch issues early, plan repairs during off-hours, and avoid costly emergency calls. This proactive approach keeps your business running—and your customers happy.
Common Problems We Detect
Over the years, we’ve found that certain sewer problems show up again and again in the Burbank area due to soil conditions, tree root activity, and aging infrastructure. These include:
- Root intrusion from large shade trees common in neighborhoods like Valley Village
- Pipe sagging (bellies) caused by soil shifting after heavy rains
- Corrosion in older cast iron pipes
- Grease buildup from commercial kitchens
- Misaligned joints from past ground movement or earthquakes
Knowing these issues are common locally helps us spot them faster—and guide you toward the best repair method.
How Sewer Inspections Save You Money
Let’s say you have frequent clogs. Without a camera inspection, a plumber might snake the line, temporarily clearing it—but the problem returns in a few weeks. That’s money spent on a temporary fix.
With our camera inspection, we’d see the real cause—maybe a cracked pipe with root intrusion—and address it once and for all. That means fewer service calls, less disruption, and lower long-term costs.
Why Local Knowledge Matters
Plumbing is not one-size-fits-all. The age of your property, the type of soil, and the layout of your sewer lines all play a role in what issues you’re likely to face.
Because we work extensively in Burbank and surrounding areas, we’re familiar with:
- The older clay sewer pipes still found in many mid-century homes
- Common trouble spots in specific neighborhoods
- How seasonal changes affect underground lines
This local expertise helps us diagnose and solve problems more effectively than out-of-town contractors.
Homebuyer and Pre-Sale Inspections
Imagine buying a home and discovering six months later that you need a full sewer line replacement. That’s a nightmare scenario we help our clients avoid.
A pre-purchase sewer inspection gives buyers confidence and sellers a selling point. If we find an issue, buyers can negotiate repairs into the sale, and sellers can fix problems before they scare off potential buyers.
