Sewer Line Camera Inspections in San Diego
At Discount Plumbing Rooter Inc. of San Diego, we use advanced video camera inspection technology to evaluate the health of your sewer and drain lines with precision. Our high-resolution sewer cameras give us a clear, real-time view inside your plumbing system, allowing us to accurately identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and other issues without any guesswork.
These flexible, fiber-optic cameras are specially designed to navigate through sewer and drainpipes. At the tip of the line is a durable, waterproof video camera that transmits live footage back to our technicians. Inside the camera head is a transmitter (also called a sonde) that emits a signal we can track above ground. Whether your sewer line runs under concrete, walls, or deep below your property, we can pinpoint the exact location of the issue.
With this sophisticated technology, our trained technicians can locate structural damage, root invasions, corrosion, and misaligned pipes, so we can recommend the right repair or replacement strategy with complete accuracy.

When Should You Schedule a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Sewer video inspections are the gold standard when it comes to diagnosing drain and sewer line problems. If you’ve been experiencing frequent clogs or recurring plumbing issues, a camera inspection gives you a clear picture (literally) of what’s happening underground. Here are the most common signs that you may need a sewer camera inspection in San Diego:
- Frequent or persistent drain backups
- Plumbing problems are occurring in multiple areas of the home
- Repeated need for drain clearing services
- Gurgling or bubbling in toilets, sinks, or showers
- Older homes with original or outdated plumbing
- Previous sewer line repairs with recurring issues
Before any major plumbing work is performed, or after a repair to confirm it was successful, a camera inspection should be step one. This ensures that nothing is missed and that the root cause of your plumbing issues is identified and addressed.
Routine Sewer Line Maintenance for San Diego Homes
We recommend an annual sewer camera inspection for proactive homeowners. Regular maintenance helps you detect issues early—like root infiltration, cracks, or deteriorating materials—before they cause severe damage.
In San Diego, older homes often have plumbing systems made from outdated materials such as clay, Orangeburg, cast iron, or galvanized steel. Over time, these materials degrade and become vulnerable to intrusion and collapse. Annual inspections help you avoid messy backups, costly emergency repairs, and even environmental hazards like sewage leaking into groundwater.
