Pro Sewer Repair sewer camera inspection services
When you need a clear answer about what is happening inside your sewer line, a sewer camera inspection in Seattle, WA, is one of the fastest ways to pinpoint the problem without unnecessary digging. Pro Sewer Repair uses modern video inspection equipment to locate clogs, confirm root intrusion, and identify structural issues like cracks, offsets, or low spots that can cause recurring backups.
Sewer camera inspections are also a smart step for proactive maintenance and planning, especially because Seattle's side sewers are privately owned, and property owners are responsible for maintaining and repairing them when needed. With accurate findings and documented visuals, you can make confident decisions about cleaning, repair, trenchless options, or next steps.
Why do you need professional sewer camera inspection services
It removes guesswork and pinpoints the exact problem area
A sewer camera inspection provides direct visual evidence of what is happening inside the line, helping identify the location and nature of issues like blockages and pipe defects, so you are not relying on assumptions.
It can reveal common causes of recurring symptoms.
Camera inspections commonly identify conditions that lead to repeat problems, including root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and low spots (bellies) that contribute to slow drains and backups.
It supports proactive maintenance and protects your property.
Seattle and King County guidance encourages side sewer inspections, especially before buying a property, because problems can be hidden until they become expensive and disruptive.
It helps you make the right decision on cleaning versus repair.
With video evidence, you can determine whether the next step is drain cleaning, targeted repair, trenchless rehabilitation, or replacement, based on the pipe’s actual condition.
It helps document findings for planning and permits.
Seattle provides resources and permitting information for side sewers, and having documented inspection results can simplify the steps needed when repairs are required.
It can reduce the risk of sewage exposure by enabling faster, safer action.
When a sewer issue escalates into a backup, wastewater can contain disease-causing organisms. A prompt inspection helps accelerate correct action and reduce prolonged exposure risks.
Fast and reliable sewer camera inspection services across Seattle, WA
Seattle’s mix of older neighborhoods, heavy seasonal rainfall, and tree-lined streets can make sewer problems harder to spot until they disrupt daily routines. In this region, root intrusion, cracked or deteriorated pipes, and other side-sewer defects are common issues that can cause slow drains, recurring clogs, and backups.
Pro Sewer Repair provides sewer camera inspection in Seattle, WA, with a practical, evidence-first approach. We use video inspection to pinpoint the problem area and document our findings so that you can make confident decisions about cleaning, repair, trenchless options, or replacement. Sewer scope inspections are also widely used in real estate due diligence to help uncover hidden issues before a purchase, especially in older homes.
How to deal with recurring clogs, slow drains, or a suspected sewer issue
When sewer problems start, the priority is to prevent escalation and get a precise diagnosis quickly. In Seattle, side sewer backups often occur when something blocks the sewer pipe and prevents wastewater from flowing freely. They should be stopped and cleaned quickly to reduce exposure risk.
Signs it is time to schedule a sewer camera inspection
- Multiple fixtures are slow or backing up at the same time
- Toilets gurgle, overflow, or drain slowly.
- Persistent sewer odors inside the home or around the yard
- Clogs keep returning soon after cleaning.
A sewer camera inspection can help identify hidden issues like clogs, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe collapse that are not visible from the surface.
What to do right now
- Stop using water if backups are occurring to avoid pushing more wastewater into the system.
- Avoid contact with sewage or contaminated water. Raw sewage can contain bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that create health risks.
- If you are planning construction or digging, schedule an inspection first to reduce the chance of accidental damage and to understand pipe location and condition.
What a professional inspection helps you confirm
- Where the problem is located, including distance markers and the specific segment affected
- What is causing the issue, such as roots, offsets, or bellies (low spots) that can contribute to repeat backups
- Whether the best next step is cleaning, targeted repair, trenchless rehabilitation, or replacement
- Camera inspections are specifically used to spot structural defects and intrusions that drive repeat problems.
