Not a Job for Amateurs

Reading a Sewer Camera Feed and Scoring Pipe Condition Takes Real Expertise

Every community's underground system is different. Mapping it accurately, spotting problem areas, and turning this into an actionable report takes a dedicated team who does this every day — not a general contractor running a camera through a pipe once.

Pricing & Timeline

Things to Consider

Pricing is determined by number of buildings and linear footage inspected. Most communities receive a completed report within 2–4 weeks of the on-site inspection. Call your HOA advisor for a quote sized to your association.

How is this different from a general reserve study?

A general reserve study estimates remaining life from age and industry averages. Ours is built from camera-verified findings inside your actual pipes.

Do you need access to units or basements?

Most common area lines are accessible from cleanouts and main runs. We'll flag in advance if any unit access is needed.

How often should we repeat the study?

We typically recommend revisiting findings every 3–5 years, or sooner after any major repair or lining work.

What happens after we get the report?

Your advisor walks the board through prioritized findings and can quote lining or repair work for anything flagged urgent.
