A sewer camera inspection helps you see inside a pipe without guessing where the trouble starts.
Finding an access point
The technician looks for a suitable cleanout or test tee. Access may need to be exposed or installed.
Sending the camera through
A small camera moves through the line to look for roots, blockages, breaks, and changes in pipe shape.
Reviewing the findings
Ask to see the footage and learn where the concern is located. Some issues may need cleaning before a full view is possible.
Choosing the next step
The findings can help guide cleaning, spot repair, or replacement. A camera is a diagnostic tool, not a repair by itself.
What to remember
In Euclid, the city also explains how exterior test tees are used to check sewer laterals.
Before you call
Write down which drains are affected, when the issue began, and whether it has happened before. This can help a technician understand the problem.
A note about local sewer responsibility
