Sewer Camera Inspections in Hanover Park, IL
Buying a home, finishing the basement or tired of the same clog? A camera inspection shows exactly what's going on in your sewer line. We record it and walk you through it. Our office is on Greenbrook Boulevard.
Why Hanover Park Homeowners Scope Their Sewer
Usually one of these:
Buying a Home
A standard inspection skips the sewer.
Finishing the Basement
Check before the floor is covered.
Repeat Clogs
Find the cause.
Before Paying for a Repair
See it yourself.

How a Camera Inspection Works With Us
You see what we see.
1. In Through the Cleanout
No digging.
2. Located and Measured
Depth and distance.
3. Explained
And the video is yours.
How to Read Your Sewer Camera Footage
We narrate the video as we go, but it helps to know what to look for. A clean line looks round and empty, with joints that line up. Roots look like hair or fine threads at a joint. Standing water that stretches a long way usually means a belly. A visible step at a joint means the pipe has shifted. Cracks show up as dark lines. We'll pause on each one, note the distance from the cleanout and tell you whether it needs action now, later or never.
What Affects the Price of a Sewer Inspection
An inspection through a clear, accessible cleanout is straightforward. A blocked line needs clearing first. With no cleanout, we may go through a toilet or vent. Locating a problem from the surface is part of the visit. We quote a flat price before we start.
