See the pipe before deciding what to do.
Dunnrite provides in-line video inspection as part of its sewer services. An accessible camera view can help explain recurring backups and show roots, deposits, visible cracks, displaced joints, or retained water. It puts evidence behind the discussion of cleaning and repair.
A heavily blocked or water-filled line can obscure the view. Cleaning may be needed to expose the pipe interior. Access points, bends, and the condition of the line affect how much can be inspected. An incomplete view should be explained before anyone treats it as a complete assessment.
Confirm inspection scope and charges with Dunnrite before work. How much of the line can be seen depends on access and whether the pipe is blocked or full of water. A separate inspection for a property purchase should be discussed as its own request.
What an inspection can show
A camera may reveal roots, buildup, visible cracks, displaced joints, or standing water. Results depend on access and visibility. A camera view is one part of the diagnosis and does not by itself answer every question about the entire system.
Access and visibility matter
Standing water and a heavy obstruction can limit the view. Cleaning may be needed before an accessible section can be evaluated. Tell us whether there is a known cleanout and whether the line is currently backing up.
Get more value from the inspection
- Before the visit Share earlier recordings or written findings when available. Tell us what question you want answered: a recurring backup, suspected roots, or the condition of an accessible line.
- During the assessment Ask what access is available and whether water or debris limits the view. Not every camera run can document every section.
- After the camera work Ask which sections were viewed, what was observed, and how the findings support the next step. A visible concern and its appropriate remedy require explanation.
Understand the findings
Ask which sections were inspected, what was visible, and whether anything prevented a complete view. Discuss the next step based on what was actually found.
Questions about camera inspection
What does camera inspection cost?
Call to discuss your sewer problem and confirm inspection scope and charges before work. Promotional offers shown on older pages have ended.
Can you inspect before a property purchase?
Call to discuss the property, access, and the scope of inspection needed. A pre-purchase inspection is a separate request, so mention it when you call.

What affects the cost?
Access to the line, the extent of the obstruction, the equipment needed, and any additional inspection or repair affect the scope. Call with the property address and symptoms to discuss charges. Confirm what is included before authorizing work; an advertised cleaning offer is not a price for an entire repair.
