Our Services
Sewer Camera Inspection Services
Many sewer and drain problems occur underground and out of sight. Our sewer camera inspections provide a clear, real-time view inside your pipes, so we can identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, corrosion, and other hidden issues without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
01
Accurate Drain & Sewer Diagnostics
Using high-definition inspection cameras, we can locate the source of drainage problems without unnecessary digging, guesswork, or disruption to your property. Camera inspections help homeowners, businesses, property managers, and contractors make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, and system upgrades.
02
What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection involves inserting a specialized waterproof camera into a drain or sewer line. The camera transmits live video to a monitor, allowing technicians to inspect the interior condition of the pipe system.
This technology provides valuable information about:
- Pipe blockages
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracked or broken pipes
- Pipe corrosion
- Offset pipe joints
- Bellied or sagging sewer lines
- Grease buildup
- Foreign objects in the line
- Collapsed pipe sections
By identifying the exact location and cause of a problem, camera inspections help eliminate costly trial-and-error repairs.
When to Inspect
When Is a Camera Inspection Recommended?
Sewer camera inspections are useful in many situations, including:
Recurring Drain Problems
If drains continue to clog despite cleaning or repairs, a camera inspection can identify the underlying cause.
Slow Drains
Persistent slow drainage may indicate buildup, structural damage, or blockages deeper within the sewer system.
Sewer Backups
When wastewater backs up into sinks, tubs, or floor drains, a camera inspection can help locate the obstruction quickly.
Home & Property Purchases
Many buyers choose a sewer inspection before closing to identify underground plumbing issues that may not be visible during a standard home inspection.
Preventive Maintenance
Routine inspections can identify developing problems before they result in expensive repairs or service interruptions.

Customer Reviews
What our customers say
★★★★★
“Snyder's does excellent work for a reasonable price. They came out quick to investigate my intermittent sewer issues, they worked with the city directly to have the rooted city main jetted (which was paid for by the city), and they are simply good at and knowledgeable about what they do. …
Read full review
They were very happy to explain what they were doing and what they were finding at every step of the way. In my specific case, they ended up recommending excavation to fix my line underground to permanently fix the issue, but they were able to get my sewer partially functional which gave me time to find a contractor for a non-emergency repair. They also provided a list of their trusted contractors, one of which I ended up selecting who also did great work. Hopefully I don't, but if I have sewer issues again Snyder's would certainly be the first call I make.”
