Sewer Camera Inspections In Burbank

Burbank Sewer Camera Inspections

The CCTV sewer inspection cameras designed for inspecting residential pipes 2-6 inches in diameter are hand-operated. The camera is attached to the end of a reel that is pushed or pulled by hand. It's equipped with a light and travels up to around 175 feet down a sewer line from the access point. The camera records everything it sees for later analysis, looking for tree roots, clogs, build-up, cracked sections of pipes, and anything else that slows or stops your waste flow.

Common Sewer Issues Burbank Homeowners Face

Burbank homes, especially older ones, often run into these hidden sewer problems:

  • Tree root invasion: Roots sneak into joints and cracks, blocking the pipe.

  • Grease and sludge buildup: Everyday kitchen waste can solidify and cause backups.

  • Cracks and collapses: Over time, pipes shift or break, especially during heavy rains.

  • Corrosion: Older metal pipes can rust, flake, and eventually fail.

  • Misaligned pipes: Settling foundations or earthquakes shift sewer lines, disrupting flow.

You might not notice any signs until it's too late—like a flooded yard, gurgling drains, or foul smells inside your home.

Sewer Camera Inspection Benefits

One of the largest benefits of a CCTV sewer camera inspection is that it's minimally invasive. That means that we can check the condition of your sewer pipes without having to do any extensive destructive work. Sewer inspections are outstanding for preventative maintenance and can help you pinpoint at-risk sections of the pipe so we can repair them before they break. This can save you a lot of money in the long run. If the inspection uncovers a problem and your sewer line needs to be repaired, we offer trenchless and traditional sewer repair and replacement.

✅ No Guesswork

You're not relying on guesswork or outdated blueprints—you're seeing real-time evidence.

✅ Saves Money

Catching small issues early avoids major repairs later. A $199 inspection can prevent a $10,000 dig-up.

✅ No Damage to Your Property

Forget about destroyed landscaping or broken tiles—this is clean, quick, and mess-free.

✅ Peace of Mind

Whether you're buying a home or suspecting trouble, you'll sleep better knowing your pipes are in good shape.

What Happens After An Inspection

After the inspection has been completed, we'll write a report on the pipe's condition, including information about the problem areas, blockages, and our recommended solution. If you give us a USB on-site, we'll even give you a copy of the video inspection recording.

Based on the extent of damage, we then determine what sewer repair method works the best for you. We always perform a CCTV sewer inspection before and after using a trenchless repair method such as pipe lining, pipe bursting, brush coating, or spray lining.

What the Camera Actually Looks For

A sewer camera isn't just a fancy gadget—it's a diagnostic tool with a sharp eye.

It can spot:

  • Clogs and obstructions: Including roots, grease, or foreign objects

  • Broken or cracked pipe sections: From age or shifting ground

  • Sagging or bellied pipes: Where water and waste pool instead of flowing

  • Corroded areas: Especially in older cast-iron or clay pipes

  • Improper pipe installation or repairs

  • Animal intrusion: Believe it or not, some critters find their way in

This inspection lets you see the problem before anyone grabs a shovel.

Trenchless Sewer Repair In Burbank

Trenchless technology allows us to replace your sewer lines without having to dig trenches, knock down walls, or dig up floors. Repairs now just take a few hours compared to the traditional methods that take days. At the most, trenchless sewer repair means digging two 4ft x 4ft pits to access the pipe. When the repair is done, the pits are filled, and you don't have to pay for the clean-up generally associated with traditional sewer repair and replacement.

For more information, see our page about trenchless sewer repair.

How a Sewer Camera Inspection Works

This isn't science fiction—it's practical technology that saves homeowners thousands.

Here's how it goes:

  1. A trained technician gently inserts a waterproof camera into your main sewer line via a small access point.

  2. The camera is attached to a flexible cable that travels up to 175 feet through your pipe.

  3. High-resolution video is transmitted in real-time to a screen, showing blockages, damage, and anything unusual.

  4. You get a clear, detailed look inside your pipes—without any digging.

It's like turning on the lights in a dark room.

Traditional Sewer Repair and Replacement

Trenchless sewer repair is minimally invasive and quick. Unfortunately, trenchless sewer repair can't be used in every situation. For example, if a sewer pipe has collapsed, it can't be lined or replaced via pipe bursting. In these cases, the only solution is traditional sewer repair or replacement. This is why a periodic sewer inspection is a great way to find problems while they're small and easy to fix.
