If you’ve ever dealt with a sewer backup, you know how frustrating it is not knowing what’s going on underground. Digging up the yard isn’t the first step anymore. A sewer camera inspection gives you a clear view inside your pipes so you can see the problem before deciding on the fix.
Arctic Air offers professional sewer line inspections across New Jersey, helping homeowners get answers without the guesswork.
What is a Sewer Inspection Camera?
A sewer inspection camera is a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable. It’s fed directly into your sewer line through an access point and sends back live video.
This lets our technicians see exactly what’s inside your pipes, whether it’s a clog, a crack, or tree roots sneaking in.
Call Arctic Air at (732) 518-8215 to schedule a sewer line consultation.
What is its Purpose?
The purpose of a sewer camera inspection is simple: find the problem without tearing up your property.
Homeowners in New Jersey schedule inspections to:
- Spot clogs and blockages
- Locate cracks or broken sections of pipe
- Check for tree root intrusion
- See the condition of older clay or cast-iron sewer lines
- Verify repairs or cleaning worked the first time
- Get peace of mind before buying or selling a home
How Does it Work?
When our team performs a sewer line inspection, the camera is carefully guided through your line. The live video helps identify:
- Grease buildup or debris clogs
- Tree roots growing into the line
- Cracked, offset, or collapsed pipes
- Signs of corrosion or scale buildup
- Areas where water flow is restricted
By seeing the inside of the pipe, we can tell you what’s happening and talk through the best options to fix it.
What Issues Can It Identify?
Drain problems don’t always look the same on the surface. A sewer camera can reveal issues such as:
- Recurring sewer backups that don’t clear with snaking
- Damage from shifting soil or ground settling
- Collapsed or crushed pipe sections
- Root intrusion from trees and shrubs in older neighborhoods
- Slow drains tied to corrosion or scaling
- Hidden leaks or misaligned joints
Instead of guessing, you’ll know exactly what’s causing the problem.
When to Use a Drain Camera
Not every clog needs a camera, but there are times it makes sense to take a closer look:
- You’ve had more than one sewer backup in the past year
- There are strong sewer odors in your home or yard
- You’re buying an older home and want to check the lines
- Your water bill has gone up without reason
- You suspect tree roots may be in your line
- You want to double-check a recent repair or cleaning
In New Jersey, where many homes still have older sewer systems, using a drain camera is often the best way to stay ahead of costly problems.
