You’re tired of plumbers telling you they “think” they know what’s wrong. Maybe you’ve already spent money on temporary fixes that didn’t solve the real problem. Or you’re buying a home in River Ridge and want to know what you’re really getting into.
Our camera inspections eliminate the guesswork. You see real-time video of your pipes’ condition, pinpoint exactly where problems are located, and make informed decisions based on facts, not hunches.
No more digging up your yard hoping to find the issue. No more paying for repairs that might not fix the actual problem. Just clear answers about what’s happening underground.
We’ve been serving River Ridge homeowners since 2013, and we understand something important about this area: many homes were built in the 1990s, which means their plumbing systems are hitting that 30-year mark where problems start showing up.
Cast iron pipes corrode. Clay sewer lines crack. Tree roots find their way into older systems. We’ve seen it all in River Ridge neighborhoods, and we know how to find these issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Every inspection is an opportunity for us to help you protect your investment. We treat your home with the same care we’d want for our own families.
We start by locating the best access point to your sewer line, usually through a cleanout or by removing a toilet if needed. No damage to your home or yard.
Next, we feed a waterproof, high-definition camera through your pipes while you watch the live video on our monitor. The flexible cable navigates every bend and turn, giving us a complete view of your system’s condition.
As we work, we explain what we’re seeing and mark any problem areas with GPS precision. You get a clear picture of your pipes’ health and know exactly where any issues are located. The whole process typically takes about an hour, and you’ll have answers before we leave.

Your camera inspection includes real-time video footage you can watch as we work, a detailed explanation of anything we find, and GPS marking of problem locations for future reference. We check for cracks, blockages, root intrusion, pipe separation, and corrosion.
In River Ridge, we commonly find issues related to the area’s mature trees and aging infrastructure. Oak and pine roots are particularly aggressive, and many homes still have original clay or cast iron pipes that are reaching the end of their lifespan.
We provide upfront pricing before we start, and if we find problems, we’ll give you honest recommendations about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. Senior and military families receive a 10% discount because we believe in supporting those who’ve served our community.
Most camera inspections in River Ridge cost between $300-$500, depending on your home’s accessibility and the length of pipe we need to inspect. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
If your home has an easily accessible cleanout, the inspection will be on the lower end of that range. Homes without cleanouts or those requiring toilet removal for access may cost slightly more due to the additional time needed.
We often include camera inspections at no charge when bundled with drain cleaning or repair services. This helps you get the most value while ensuring we’re fixing the right problem the first time.
Our high-definition cameras can identify virtually any problem inside your sewer lines: tree root infiltration, pipe cracks or breaks, blockages from grease or debris, pipe separation at joints, corrosion or deterioration, and collapsed sections.
In River Ridge specifically, we frequently find oak and pine root intrusion in older clay pipes, and corrosion in cast iron lines from the 1990s building boom. We can also locate lost items like jewelry that may have been accidentally flushed.
The camera shows us not just what the problem is, but exactly where it’s located underground. This precision saves you money by eliminating unnecessary digging and ensuring repairs target the right spot.
Absolutely. Standard home inspections don’t include sewer line evaluation, which means you could unknowingly buy a home with thousands of dollars in hidden plumbing problems. This is especially important in River Ridge, where many homes are 25-30 years old.
We’ve found major issues in homes that looked perfect on the surface: collapsed sewer lines, extensive root damage, and failing pipe connections that would have cost new homeowners $10,000 or more to repair.
A $350 camera inspection can save you from inheriting someone else’s plumbing nightmare. We work with buyers, sellers, and real estate agents to provide fast turnaround inspections with digital video you can share or keep for your records.
Most residential inspections in River Ridge take 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and the length of sewer line we need to examine. Single-story homes with shorter runs typically take about an hour, while larger properties may require up to two hours.
The process itself is non-invasive and won’t disrupt your daily routine. You can watch the inspection in real-time and ask questions as we work. We’ll explain everything we’re seeing and provide immediate feedback about your system’s condition.
If we discover problems during the inspection, we’ll take additional time to thoroughly document the issues and discuss your repair options. We believe in complete transparency, so you’ll never feel rushed or pressured.
Yes, and we strongly recommend annual inspections for homes over 20 years old. River Ridge’s mature landscaping and aging infrastructure make preventive inspections especially valuable here. Catching small problems early can save thousands in emergency repairs.
Regular inspections help us track changes in your system over time, identify developing issues before they cause backups, and plan maintenance during convenient times rather than emergencies. Many of our clients schedule annual inspections as part of their home maintenance routine.
We offer service packages that include regular inspections at discounted rates. This approach helps you budget for plumbing maintenance and ensures small problems don’t turn into major headaches.
We’ll show you exactly what we found on the video monitor and explain the severity of any issues. You’ll get honest recommendations about what needs immediate attention versus what can be monitored over time. We never pressure you into unnecessary repairs.
For minor issues like small root intrusions or partial blockages, we can often address them immediately with hydro jetting or mechanical cleaning. More significant problems like pipe breaks or collapses require planning and may need permits.
We provide detailed written estimates for any recommended repairs, including multiple options when possible. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make the best decision for your home and budget.
