Plain-language findings

A sewer camera inspection puts a waterproof camera on a flexible push rod and sends it down the main drain line. The head carries its own lights, and a counter on the reel records how many feet of cable are out, so every crack or root shows up with a distance attached. Most homes in Danforth, ME have one main line leaving the house, and that is the line the camera follows.

What the footage shows

  • Pipe material and where it changes, such as cast iron inside the house switching to clay or PVC in the yard
  • Standing water that marks a belly, or low spot, in the line
  • Offset joints where one section has dropped or shifted against the next
  • Root strands or root masses coming through joints
  • Cracks, holes, crushed sections and heavy scale

Access and length of the run

The tech enters through a cleanout when there is one. Without a cleanout, a toilet can be pulled and the camera sent in at the flange, or the run can start from a roof vent. Push cameras typically reach 100 to 200 feet, which covers the distance to the public main on most residential lots.

After the run

You can watch the monitor during the inspection and ask about anything on screen. The recording is yours to keep. It gives any contractor you call something concrete to price against, and it gives you a baseline to compare with if the line acts up later.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Questions we hear most often about Sewer Camera Inspection in Danforth, ME.

Talk to a real person
How long does a sewer scope take?
A typical residential scope takes about an hour, sometimes less. Extra time goes into finding or opening an access point, clearing a blockage so the camera can pass, or locating the line from above. Long laterals, commercial mains and lines with several branches take longer.
What is Orangeburg pipe, and why do inspectors flag it?
Orangeburg is a fiber pipe made from wood pulp and coal tar pitch, installed widely from the 1940s into the 1970s. After a few decades underground it starts to soften, blister and flatten under the weight of the soil, and on camera it often looks oval. Because it keeps deforming, most owners plan to replace it rather than patch it.
Are roots in the sewer line a reason to walk away from a house?
Not by themselves. Light roots at a joint or two are common in older lines and can often be cleared, with the joints sealed later by a liner or spot repair. What matters more is whether roots have cracked or displaced the pipe, how many joints are affected and what the pipe is made of. Get a repair quote based on the footage before deciding.
What happens if the camera can't reach the public main?
Cameras can stop at a heavy blockage, a collapsed section, a sharp bend or a deep belly full of water. The report should note the distance where the camera stopped and why. Often the line is cleared and the run tried again, or the tech enters from a second access point. A stop point is a finding in itself, since it marks where something is wrong.
Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?
Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.
