A $250 camera inspection has saved LA homebuyers six-figure surprises more times than we can count. Pre-war Pasadena, mid-century Burbank, 1950s SFV tract homes — the sewer lateral is usually the single most expensive thing that can go wrong with a property, and it's never disclosed on a standard inspection. We run HD cameras, trace the full path from cleanout to city main, and hand you a written report with timestamped video that stands up in an escrow negotiation.
What's Included
HD Color Camera
Modern self-leveling color cameras with integrated lighting. No grainy black-and-white VHS footage — you can see the difference between a crack and a stain.
Full-Lateral Trace
From the accessible cleanout to the city tap. We note depth and length at every significant find using an integrated locator.
Written Inspection Report
PDF report with observations, timestamped video stills, condition rating, and repair recommendations. Format acceptable to escrow and insurance.
Video File Delivered
MP4 of the entire pass, emailed same-day. Watch it back at your own pace — or send it to your Realtor.
Locator Service
We trace and mark the line's path and depth above-ground with paint dots. Essential before any excavation planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't this part of a normal home inspection?
Standard home inspectors don't carry sewer cameras — it's a specialty. Most inspections stop at the fixture. The lateral is excluded. That's why a $250 add-on has saved LA buyers tens of thousands.
What do you look for on a pre-purchase inspection?
Cracks, offsets, bellies (sagged sections), root intrusion, Orangeburg or lead pipe material, illegal connections, collapses, tap-in damage, and any sign that the previous owner repaired it themselves.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?
Standard residential pre-purchase inspection with written report is $275–$350. If we can't reach the lateral (no cleanout), we pull a toilet and camera through for $475.
Do I need a cleanout for a camera inspection?
Not strictly. Without a cleanout we can camera through a pulled toilet, but the distance is limited. If you're buying, ask the seller to install a cleanout — it's required for modern plumbing service.
Can I be on-site during the inspection?
Absolutely — we prefer it. You see exactly what we see and we can answer questions in real time. Brings typical inspection time to about an hour.
