Sewer & drain diagnostics
Sewer Camera Inspections for Alaska Properties
A push-camera inspection gives you a direct view inside the pipe — the same view we use to decide whether to clean, repair or reline.
Warning signs
- Repeated backups with no clear cause
- Pre-purchase inspection for an older home
- Recent property remodel with drainage concerns
- Unknown sewer line location
How we diagnose the issue
- • Push camera through cleanout or accessible point
- • Sonde locate to map the line
- • Record findings and share the recording
How the service works
Step 1
Access the line
We access the pipe through an existing cleanout, roof vent or removed fixture.
Step 2
Camera the run
Push the camera to the end of the line, documenting condition.
Step 3
Locate features
Sonde locate depth and path at each feature of interest.
Step 4
Report
Explain what we saw and outline options in plain language.
When it's appropriate
- • Pre-purchase inspections
- • Diagnosing recurring backups
- • Confirming completed work
- • Planning before excavation
When it isn't
- • Fully submerged or actively surcharging lines (we jet first, then camera)
Residential
- • Home inspections
- • Recurring backup diagnosis
- • Pre-remodel planning
Commercial
- • Facility due diligence
- • Post-construction verification
- • Baseline mapping
Project example
Pre-purchase inspection catches failed lateral in Anchorage
Buyers were about to close on an older Anchorage home. Camera inspection revealed a collapsed cast-iron lateral. They negotiated repair credit before closing.
