You’re tired of plumbers who dig first and figure it out later. That approach costs you money and tears up your property for problems that might not even exist.
With professional plumbing camera inspection, you see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes before anyone touches a shovel. No more paying for exploratory digging that leads nowhere.
The camera shows you tree roots, breaks, clogs, or corrosion in real-time. You make decisions based on facts, not guesses. Your wallet and your yard stay intact while you get the targeted repair you actually need.
We’ve been serving Blanton homeowners since 2013. We understand the unique challenges of older homes in this area, where most properties were built around 1977.
We treat every inspection as an honor and opportunity to help you make informed decisions about your plumbing. You get one-on-one consultations where we explain exactly what we found and what it means for your home.
Our commitment to transparency means you’ll never get hit with surprise charges or vague explanations. We show you the problem, explain your options, and give you honest pricing upfront.
First, we locate the best access point to your sewer line—usually through a cleanout or existing opening. No unnecessary removal of fixtures unless absolutely needed.
Next, we insert a high-resolution waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into your pipes. The camera travels through your system while transmitting live video to our monitor, showing us every inch of your plumbing.
You watch the inspection happen in real-time. We pause to explain what you’re seeing—whether it’s normal wear, minor buildup, or something that needs attention. The entire process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your system’s complexity.
After the inspection, you get a clear explanation of any issues found and honest pricing for repairs before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure—just the information you need to make smart decisions about your plumbing.

Every camera inspection includes a thorough examination of your sewer line from your home to the street connection. We check for clogs, cracks, root intrusion, pipe deterioration, and any structural issues that could cause problems.
In Blanton, where many homes date back to the late 1970s, we pay special attention to common issues like corroded cast iron pipes, failing connections, and root intrusion from mature trees. Our experience with older plumbing systems means we know what to look for and how to address it properly.
You receive a detailed explanation of our findings, including the location and severity of any problems discovered. If repairs are needed, we provide upfront pricing and multiple options when possible. Senior and military customers receive a 10% discount on all services.
The inspection process is completely non-invasive—no digging, no damage to your landscaping, and no disruption to your daily routine. You get definitive answers about your plumbing’s condition without the mess and expense of traditional diagnostic methods.
Camera inspection costs vary based on your system’s complexity and accessibility, but you’ll always know the exact price before we start. Most inspections in Blanton run between $200-$500 depending on the length of pipe we need to examine and how easy it is to access your sewer line.
Homes with existing cleanouts cost less because we can access your pipes directly. If we need to remove a toilet or create an access point, that adds time and cost to the job. We’ll explain all pricing upfront so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.
The inspection fee is separate from any repair work, but knowing exactly what’s wrong saves you money in the long run. Instead of paying for guesswork and unnecessary digging, you get targeted repairs that fix the actual problem.
In Blanton’s older homes, we commonly find issues related to aging plumbing systems installed in the 1970s and 1980s. The most frequent problems include corroded cast iron pipes that cause low water pressure or discolored water, tree root intrusion from mature landscaping, and deteriorated pipe joints that create small leaks.
We also find “bellied” sections where pipes have sagged over time, creating spots where waste and debris collect. Clay pipes, common in older homes, often develop cracks or separations at joints. These issues gradually worsen and can cause recurring backups if not addressed.
The camera shows us exactly where problems are located and how severe they’ve become. This information helps us recommend the most cost-effective repair approach—whether that’s spot repairs, pipe lining, or replacement of specific sections. You get a clear picture of your system’s condition and can plan repairs based on priority and budget.
Most camera inspections take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your home’s plumbing layout and what we discover during the process. Simple systems with easy access points move quickly, while complex layouts or multiple issues take more time to examine thoroughly.
We don’t rush the process because missing something important defeats the purpose of the inspection. If we find problem areas, we take extra time to examine them from different angles and document their exact location and condition.
You’re welcome to watch the entire inspection process on our monitor. Many homeowners find it helpful to see their plumbing system firsthand and understand how everything connects. We explain what we’re seeing as we go, so you understand your system better and can make informed decisions about any needed repairs.
Yes, camera inspection can identify many types of sewer line leaks by showing us cracks, breaks, separated joints, and areas where pipes have deteriorated. We can see water infiltration, root intrusion through cracks, and structural damage that creates leak points.
However, small hairline cracks or minor joint separations might not be visible if they’re not actively leaking during the inspection. For suspected leaks that don’t show up on camera, we may recommend additional testing methods to pinpoint the exact location and severity.
The camera inspection gives us a comprehensive view of your pipe’s overall condition and helps identify areas most likely to develop leaks in the future. This information is valuable for preventive maintenance and helps you address problems before they cause water damage or expensive emergency repairs. Combined with our experience working on Blanton’s older plumbing systems, we can usually identify leak-prone areas and recommend appropriate action.
Absolutely. Pre-purchase sewer inspections are one of the smartest investments you can make when buying an older home in Blanton. Standard home inspections don’t include sewer line examination, so you could inherit expensive plumbing problems without knowing it.
We’ve inspected many homes in Blanton where buyers discovered major sewer line issues that weren’t apparent during the regular home inspection. Problems like root-damaged pipes, collapsed sections, or severely corroded lines can cost thousands to repair and aren’t covered by typical home warranties.
The inspection gives you negotiating power with sellers and helps you budget for any necessary repairs. Many buyers use our findings to request seller concessions or adjust their offer price accordingly. It’s much better to know about plumbing problems before you own them than to discover them after you’ve moved in and are responsible for the repair costs.
When we find problems, we stop the camera at each issue and explain exactly what you’re looking at and why it matters for your plumbing system. We document the location and severity of each problem so you have a complete record of your system’s condition.
After completing the full inspection, we discuss all findings and provide honest recommendations for addressing any issues discovered. You’ll get upfront pricing for repairs and, when possible, multiple options ranging from temporary fixes to permanent solutions.
There’s no pressure to authorize repairs immediately. We believe you should have time to consider your options and budget for the work. If problems require immediate attention to prevent water damage or health hazards, we’ll explain the urgency and help you understand your options. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for your situation and budget.
