What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection & Why Sunnyvale Homes Benefit from It
In Sunnyvale, many properties have older sewer systems that may be prone to cracking, root intrusion, or corrosion. A sewer camera inspection offers a non-destructive way to view the condition of your underground pipes without digging up your yard.
This inspection uses a high-resolution, waterproof camera that’s fed into your sewer line through an existing access point. Live video allows our licensed Sunnyvale plumbers to identify:
• Blockages from grease, scale, or foreign debris
• Root infiltration in clay or cast iron piping
• Collapsed or misaligned sewer lines
• Cracks or corrosion in aging pipes
Whether you’re experiencing slow drainage or planning a remodel, this service helps diagnose issues quickly. In Sunnyvale, where older homes may still have Orangeburg or clay sewer pipes, early detection can prevent extensive repairs and protect your property.
Top 5 Signs Sunnyvale Homeowners Should Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection
1. Persistent Clogs or Slow-Draining Fixtures
If plunging or snaking hasn’t solved your drain problems, the obstruction could be deeper in your main sewer line.
Frequent Causes in Sunnyvale Homes:
• Organic buildup from food waste or grease
• Non-flushable items like wipes or feminine products
• Shifting pipes causing misalignment
A camera inspection can locate the problem and determine the best way to clear it—without guesswork.
2. Noisy Plumbing: Gurgles or Air Bubbles
Gurgling sounds from your sinks or toilets often signal improper airflow in your plumbing system.
Camera Inspections Reveal:
• Partial obstructions in the venting system
• Collapsed piping or root intrusions
• Trapped air due to slow-moving wastewater
With real-time video, we can quickly confirm the issue and recommend a fix tailored to Sunnyvale infrastructure.
3. Unpleasant Sewer Odors in the House or Yard
If you smell sewage in or around your Sunnyvale home, there may be a break or leak in your sewer line.
Common Findings Include:
• Damaged pipe joints leaking gas
• Backups from deep obstructions
• Dry or malfunctioning P-traps
Our high-definition cameras allow us to trace odors to their source and offer solutions without excavation.
4. Soggy or Unusually Green Areas in Your Yard
A patch of bright green grass or persistently wet soil can indicate a leaking underground pipe.
Visual Cues in Sunnyvale Lawns:
• Standing water despite dry weather
• Depressions in the ground or sunken areas
• Strong sewer smells near problem spots
Camera inspections allow us to verify if there’s a breach and avoid unnecessary digging.
5. Rodent or Insect Infestations
Increased pests—especially near bathrooms or basements—can be a sign that your sewer line has cracks or breaks.
Our Inspections Check For:
• Openings that allow rodents into the line
• Waste accumulation attracting bugs
• Root-damaged sections acting as pest entry points
Once we identify the breach, we can suggest targeted repairs or pipe lining to solve the issue.
