Sewer Camera Inspection

See exactly what's inside your sewer line — no guessing.

A sewer camera inspection is the difference between guessing and knowing. We push a self-leveling color camera through your line, record the footage, and mark the exact location of any defect on the ground above. Essential before a home purchase, after repeated backups, or before jetting an older line.

What's included

  • Recorded video you can keep
  • On-ground locate of any defect
  • Depth reading for accurate repair estimates
  • Recommended pre-purchase for any home 20+ years old
  • Bundled with drain cleaning when appropriate

Our process

1

Access

We enter through an existing cleanout, roof vent, or pulled toilet — whichever is least invasive.

2

Inspect

The camera travels the line while we narrate what we see and mark any concerns.

3

Report

You get a clear explanation, recorded footage, and — if repair is needed — an itemized estimate.

Why Connecticut homeowners choose Drain Wizard for sewer camera inspection

Sewer Camera Inspection in an older Connecticut home rarely fits a one-size-fits-all repair. Greater New Haven's housing stock spans century-old cast iron and galvanized systems, mid-century copper and clay laterals, 1970s Orangeburg, and modern PEX & PVC — each behaves differently and each has a right way to service it. Drain Wizard is a family-owned, Connecticut P1-licensed plumbing contractor based in Hamden, and sewer camera inspection is core to what our experienced plumbing professionals do every week across Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, Branford, Guilford, Madison, Milford, Meriden, New Haven and the rest of the region.

Every sewer camera inspection call starts with a real diagnosis — not a guess — and a detailed written estimate you approve before any work begins. We show up when we say we will, protect your home with drop cloths and shoe covers, and stand behind the workmanship with the Drain Wizard Guarantee. If a permit or inspection is required, we pull it and see it through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a sewer scope before buying a home?+
Yes. Sewer repairs are five-figure jobs and standard home inspections don't cover them. A pre-purchase scope is cheap insurance.
Can you find the exact spot of a break?+
Yes. Our camera has a locator that lets us mark the defect on the ground within a few inches.
How long does an inspection take?+
Typically 45–90 minutes including review of the footage with you.
