Pre-Purchase Sewer Line Inspection in Tempe
Standard home inspections usually do not include a camera look inside the sewer line. A pre-purchase inspection shows whether the line has roots, cracks, bellies or other problems before you close. That information can help you negotiate repairs or price with the seller. We provide a video and written report that fits most real estate timelines.

Root Intrusion Inspection in Tempe, AZ
Roots from mesquite, palo verde, ficus and eucalyptus trees seek out moisture in sewer joints. Over time they can fill the pipe and cause repeat backups. Our camera shows exactly where roots enter and how much of the pipe they block. We then recommend cleaning, jetting or a lasting repair like lining.
Cast Iron and Clay Pipe Condition Assessment in Tempe
Many older Arizona homes have cast iron drain lines under the slab and clay sewer laterals outside. Cast iron can corrode and develop scale, cracks and channeling along the bottom of the pipe. Clay joints shift and let roots in. Our camera inspection shows how much life the pipe has left so you can plan repairs on your timeline.
Belly and Offset Detection in Tempe, AZ
A belly is a low spot where the pipe has sagged and holds water and waste. Offsets happen when pipe sections shift out of alignment, often because of soil movement. Expansive clay soils in parts of Arizona make these problems more common. The camera shows these defects clearly, and we mark their location for repair.
Post-Clearing Sewer Camera Inspection in Tempe
After a backup is cleared, a camera inspection reveals why it happened. It might be grease, roots, a broken section or an object stuck in the line. Knowing the cause helps you avoid repeat backups. We often recommend an inspection after any main line clearing.
Sewer Line Locating and Depth Marking in Tempe, AZ
Before any repair, it helps to know exactly where your sewer line runs and how deep it is. Our camera includes a sonde transmitter that we trace with a receiver above ground. We mark the line and problem spots with paint or flags. This makes excavation or trenchless repair faster and more precise.
Commercial Sewer Line Inspection in Tempe
Restaurants, apartment complexes and commercial buildings depend on sewer lines that carry heavy use. Regular inspections help catch grease buildup, root intrusion and structural problems early. We inspect larger diameter lines and provide video reports for property managers and owners. Inspections can be scheduled after hours to avoid disruption.

Sewer Line Inspection Cost Comparison in Tempe, AZ
A standard residential sewer camera inspection usually costs $150 to $400. Inspections that require clearing first or roof access may cost more. Compared with sewer repairs that can run $3,000 to $15,000 or more, an inspection is a small investment. It can save you from buying a home with a hidden sewer problem.
