Sewer Camera Inspection in Marietta, GA
Before recommending a repair on a sewer line, we want to see what's actually wrong with it. Our sewer camera inspections give Marietta homeowners a clear look at the real condition of their line, not a guess based on symptoms alone, and the footage itself is yours to keep afterward.
Signs you need Sewer Camera Inspection in Marietta
Recurring clogs with no clear cause
A clog that keeps returning after snaking is the most common reason to request a camera inspection.
Buying or selling a home
A pre-purchase or pre-sale sewer inspection catches problems before they become a negotiation issue or a surprise after closing.
Unexplained sewage odor
A camera inspection can locate a crack or break before it progresses to a full backup.
Confirming a repair worked
A follow-up camera pass after a repair confirms the line is genuinely clear and structurally sound, not just temporarily working.
A slow drain that snaking hasn't resolved
When a cable can't clear a clog or keeps getting stuck at the same point, a camera inspection shows why.

Why this happens in Marietta
A camera inspection is especially useful in Marietta's older neighborhoods, where clay and early PVC sewer laterals installed decades ago can fail in several different ways, root intrusion, bellying, cracking, that each call for a different fix. Without a camera, it's genuinely difficult to tell these apart from the symptoms alone, which is why we recommend one before committing to a specific repair method rather than guessing. Newer PVC construction elsewhere in the county sees far fewer of these structural issues, so a camera inspection there is more often a confirmation than a diagnosis of an active problem.
How we find the actual problem
A waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed through the line, with a technician viewing the footage in real time to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or structural issues, and recording the line's condition and, where useful, its depth and location for later reference. Any resulting repair recommendation is measured against the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code, based on the International Plumbing Code (IPC).

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQ
It's a reasonable step for any home with an older sewer line, especially one with clay or early PVC piping, since a hidden structural issue can be an expensive surprise after closing.
Yes, the camera shows structural issues like cracks and root intrusion, not just blockages, which is part of why it's more informative than snaking alone.
Most single-family home inspections complete within an hour, depending on the line's length and how many cleanout access points are available.
No. The camera and cable are designed to pass through existing pipe without contact pressure, so the inspection itself doesn't add wear to the line.
