Sewer Camera Inspection near me in Cathedral City
A sewer camera is a waterproof video camera on a flexible push rod. A plumber feeds it through a cleanout or drain and watches the inside of the pipe on a monitor. It reveals grease buildup, roots, scale, bellies where water sits, offset joints and cracked or collapsed sections — and a locator can pinpoint the location and depth from above ground.
Camera inspection is the right move when a drain clogs repeatedly, before buying an older home, after a sewage backup, or before committing to a repair. For a sewer camera inspection near me, call (760) 273-8147.
