Sewer Camera Inspection Oakland, CA

We conduct sewer camera inspections across the East Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Livermore, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, and Richmond. Pipeline camera inspections are the most effective way to examine your underground sewer drain lines, sewer pipes, and overall plumbing system.

How Our Sewer Camera Inspection Work

Pipe Spy uses state-of-the-art technology to provide comprehensive sewer camera inspection services throughout the East Bay. Our professional sewer inspection is the essential first step for both diagnosing sewer problems and obtaining sewer compliance certificates.

Step 1: Access Point Location

We begin every sewer line inspection by locating an access point to your sewer system, typically through an existing cleanout. If no cleanout is available, we'll discuss alternative access options for your sewer inspection. For optimal imaging quality during the sewer camera inspection, the sewer pipe must be draining properly. If we encounter blockages, we may need to power snake or hydro jet the line first to clear debris.

Step 2: Comprehensive Sewer Line Inspection

Our skilled technicians carefully guide the camera through your sewer pipe from the cleanout to the sanitary main during the sewer inspection process. Throughout this sewer line inspection, we closely monitor and document any breaks, blockages, or other issues in your sewer pipeline. The entire sewer camera inspection is digitally recorded with professional commentary, and you'll receive a complete recording on a thumb drive for your records.

Sewer Camera Inspection Service Area: Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, Piedmont, El Cerrito, Richmond, Albany, Castro Valley, Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, and surrounding East Bay communities.

How Much Does a Sewer Camera Inspection Cost?

A typical sewer camera inspection costs $200 for a residential sewer lateral inspection, and most video inspections are completed within one hour (sewer line inspection cost varies if more time is required).

The $200 fee includes all setup, inspection, and cleanup time as well as plenty of time for you to talk to our knowledgeable service technician and get direct answers to your plumbing concerns.

There are times a sewer lateral inspection may cost more than $200. If there is no accessible cleanout available, we may need to remove a toilet, complete the camera inspection, and reinstall the toilet. We charge an additional $250 for toilet removal and reinstallation.

Please contact us if you have any questions about a sewer camera inspection.
