Sewer Camera Inspection in Bergen County, NJ

Seeing Inside the Line Before We Recommend a Fix

We run a video camera through the main sewer line to see exactly what’s happening underground before recommending any repair. A camera inspection replaces guesswork with a clear picture of the pipe, and it’s often the first step before sewer repair or sewer cleaning begins.

Signs You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection

Recurring drain backups. If backups keep coming back after clearing, the main line likely has a structural problem, not just another clog.

Slow drains throughout the house. When every drain is slow at once, not just one fixture, the cause is usually further down the line, where only a camera can see it.

Buying or selling an older home. Bergen County’s median home dates to around 1960, and the clay and cast iron sewer laterals from that era are now approaching 60 to 70 years old. A camera inspection before closing shows buyers and sellers the line’s actual condition.

What Our Sewer Camera Inspection Includes

Full Line Video Inspection

We feed a video camera through the main line from an accessible cleanout, recording the interior condition from the house to the street or septic connection.

Locating the Exact Problem Area

Our camera equipment includes a locator that marks the depth and position of any issue we find, which keeps any follow-up excavation or trenchless pipe repair as small as possible.

Reviewing the Footage With You

We walk through what the camera found in plain terms, showing you the same footage we use to make our recommendation.

What Happens After the Inspection

Not every issue the camera finds needs the same fix. Some lines just need sewer cleaning to clear buildup, others need a targeted spot repair, and a few need full replacement. We recommend the smallest fix that solves the actual problem.
