How Sewer Camera Inspections Help Los Altos Residents Avoid Costly Sewer Repairs
Los Altos homeowners enjoy beautiful properties, mature trees, and established neighborhoods—but these same features can hide aging sewer lines beneath the surface. Sewer camera inspections offer a non-invasive and highly accurate way to assess the condition of those underground pipes before issues escalate.
At Repipe Champions, we perform detailed sewer camera inspections for homes across Los Altos, from the tree-lined streets of North Los Altos to the hillside estates near Loyola Corners. We insert a high-definition waterproof camera through an accessible cleanout or drain, allowing us to navigate through your sewer system in real time and detect hidden issues such as cracks, blockages, or root intrusions.
With decades-old sewer lines still in place throughout much of Los Altos, root intrusion is a common culprit for slow drains and recurring backups. Large trees often wrap their roots around pipes, squeezing and infiltrating aging clay or cast iron. Our cameras reveal these root intrusions and allow us to suggest solutions—whether hydro jetting, pipe relining, or trenchless replacement.
In addition to diagnosing active problems, camera inspections are invaluable when buying or selling a home in Los Altos. Knowing the condition of the sewer line can affect negotiations and prevent post-purchase surprises. The inspection process is quick, typically taking under an hour, and comes with a clear video file and expert diagnosis.
If you’ve noticed persistent drain problems, foul odors, or unusual lawn wet spots, a sewer camera inspection offers the fastest path to clarity. Let Repipe Champions deliver a clean, trench-free diagnosis that keeps your Los Altos property protected and your plumbing running smoothly.
Top 5 Signs You Need a Sewer Camera Inspection in Los Altos
1. Frequent Drain Clogs or Slow Fixtures
Los Altos homes often experience repeat clogs due to aging pipes and root invasion. If your tub, sink, or toilet seems to drain slowly over and over, it may be time to look deeper.
Sewer camera inspections can detect:
• Years of grease and soap scum buildup
• Partial obstructions that traditional snaking can’t remove
• Foreign items lodged deep in the line
2. Odd Noises or Bubbling From Drains
Hearing gurgling when you flush the toilet or run water? That could mean trapped air in your pipes or slow-moving wastewater, especially common in older systems.
Our camera inspections help confirm:
• Improper pipe alignment or slope
• Ventilation issues in the sewer system
• Early signs of pipe collapse
3. Sewer Odors Indoors or Outdoors
Unpleasant smells in your bathroom or backyard could point to leaks or blockages. In Los Altos, older homes with original lines are more likely to develop cracks or leaks underground.
Our inspections identify:
• Gas leaks caused by hairline cracks
• Backed-up waste not reaching the main line
• Stagnant water buildup behind blockages
4. Lush Patches or Wet Spots in the Yard
Unexpected wet areas in your yard—even during dry weather—may indicate a broken or leaking sewer pipe. Tree-lined streets in Los Altos are especially susceptible to root-related pipe damage.
Camera inspections detect:
• Hidden pipe separations leaking wastewater
• Saturated soil from unnoticed leaks
• Root masses breaking into the line
5. Rodent or Insect Infestations
Rodents and pests like sewer flies can enter through cracked sewer lines. If you’re dealing with recurring pest problems, it’s time to inspect the pipes beneath your home.
What we look for:
• Entry points caused by pipe damage
• Waste attracting insects and vermin
• Unsealed joints or deteriorated sections
