Sewer Camera Inspection
See inside your sewer line before you spend a dollar on repairs
Your sewer lateral — the pipe that carries everything from your house to the city main — is usually the property owner's responsibility all the way to the street. In much of Los Angeles that pipe is decades-old clay or cast iron, and the only way to know its real condition is to look inside.
A sewer camera inspection feeds a high-resolution, self-leveling camera through a cleanout and down the line. We watch the live feed with you, note the footage distance of every defect, and use a locator to mark where problems are on the surface — so if a repair is needed, it's precise.
Buying a home? A pre-purchase sewer scope is one of the smartest inspections you can order: a sewer repair is easy to miss in a general home inspection and can cost thousands. We provide a recording you can share with your agent during escrow.

Honest pricing
How much does sewer camera inspection cost?
Every job is different, so we don't guess over the phone and then change the number on site. We look at the problem, then give you a written flat-rate price before any work starts. The price you approve is the price you pay — and it's the same at 3 a.m. on a Sunday as it is on a Tuesday afternoon.
What affects the price:
- Whether there's an accessible cleanout
- Length of the line and number of branches inspected
- Whether the line must be cleared first to get the camera through
- Add-ons like line locating or a written report
Real customers
What homeowners say after the rescue.
Our reviews come from real emergencies — and how we handled them.
Emergency Sewer Backup
“We had a sewer backup on a Sunday night — our laundry room was completely flooded. I called Rooter Rescue at 9 PM and they had a tech at the door within 45 minutes. He cleared a major root intrusion in the main line and had everything flowing again by midnight. I couldn't believe the response time. They're the only plumber I'll ever call.”
Sarah M.
Los Angeles, CA
Slab Leak Detection
“My water bill had been climbing for months and I couldn't figure out why. Rooter Rescue used electronic detection equipment to find a slab leak under my kitchen floor without ripping up a single tile — found it in under an hour. The repair was clean, fast, and came in exactly at the estimate. These guys are total pros.”
Mike T.
Los Angeles, CA
Water Heater Replacement
“My water heater died on a Friday morning. I called three plumbers — two couldn't get to me until next week. Rooter Rescue had a new unit installed that same afternoon. The tech explained every option clearly, gave me a fair price without any pressure, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. Five stars isn't enough.”

FAQ
Sewer Camera Inspection questions, answered.
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about sewer camera inspection.
Yes, especially for older homes or homes with mature trees. General home inspections usually don't include the sewer line, and a sewer replacement is one of the most expensive surprises a new owner can face.
