Experienced Plumbers with 30+ Years in Riverwoods for Video Camera Sewer Inspections. See Inside Your Pipes — No Guesswork.

Video Camera Sewer Inspections in Riverwoods

What is happening inside your sewer line is invisible to the naked eye — until J. Blanton Plumbing sends a camera through it. Our video camera sewer inspection service in Riverwoods transmits a live HD feed from inside your main sewer line, revealing exactly what is there: root intrusion, pipe cracks, grease buildup, offset joints, or a collapsed section.

Video camera inspection is the most accurate diagnostic tool available for sewer lines. It eliminates guesswork, prevents unnecessary repairs, and gives you the documentation you need to make informed decisions about your Riverwoods home's plumbing.

We recommend video camera sewer inspection in three situations: before purchasing a Riverwoods home (sewer lines are one of the costliest surprises in a home purchase), after a sewer backup (to find out why it happened), and as part of routine sewer maintenance to monitor line condition over time.

Our inspections provide a verbal report during the service call and camera footage you can share with a real estate agent, inspector, or insurance company. We also use a locator device to mark the line's position and depth on the surface — valuable information for any future digging or landscaping near the sewer path.

J. Blanton Plumbing has been performing video camera sewer inspections in Riverwoods for over 30 years. Our inspection service is affordable and provides the clearest possible picture of your sewer system's condition.

Video Camera Sewer Inspection in Riverwoods: Accurate, Documented, Non-Invasive

For Riverwoods homebuyers, a sewer camera inspection is one of the most valuable pre-purchase investments you can make. Standard home inspections do not include the sewer line — and replacing a collapsed clay sewer from the house to the city main can cost $10,000 to $30,000 or more.

Our camera inspections document the exact location of any sewer line defects, allowing our plumbers to recommend the right repair approach — whether rodding, hydro jetting, trenchless lining, or open-cut replacement. Knowing what you are dealing with before a major storm or backup saves money and stress.

We perform video camera inspections as a standalone service and as part of our hydro jetting and sewer repair services. Pre- and post-service camera footage is standard practice on all major drain and sewer work we perform in Riverwoods.

Some areas we serve, but are not limited to, include:

Yes. Sewer line problems are not visible during a standard home inspection and can be extremely costly to repair. A camera inspection before closing gives you the ability to negotiate repairs or credits — or to walk away from a home with a severely deteriorated sewer line.

A standard main sewer line inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes. We run the camera from the cleanout or accessible access point through the line to the city sewer connection, documenting conditions along the way.

Camera inspection reveals most sewer line conditions visible from the pipe interior: cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, collapsed sections, and buildup. It does not detect problems outside the pipe — such as surrounding soil conditions or the condition of the lateral connection at the city main.

We explain what the camera found, show you the footage, and recommend repair options with associated costs. You decide how to proceed — there is no pressure to commit to additional work on the same visit.
