See What's Hiding in Your Drain Lines

Book Sewer Scope Inspection in Lafayette

Before you close on a home in Lafayette, you want to know whether tree roots, cracks, or decades of buildup are lurking inside the main sewer line. Turn Key Home Inspection feeds a waterproof camera through a cleanout or drain opening, transmitting live video from inside the pipe as we push the flexible cable toward the street connection. You'll watch the monitor with us and see exactly where cast iron has corroded, where PVC joints have separated, or where invasive roots have punched through clay tile sections common in older Lafayette neighborhoods.

Our sewer scope inspection services include a full video recording of the main line from the foundation to the municipal connection or septic inlet, identification of pipe material and diameter, distance measurements using the camera's footage counter, and a written summary of any defects, bellies, offsets, or blockages. We also provide residential sewer line inspection for homes with known drainage issues, perform sewer lateral inspection to verify compliance during property transfers, and offer drain line camera inspection for kitchen or bathroom stacks when requested in Lafayette.

Schedule your sewer camera inspection near me today and avoid surprise repairs after closing.

Why Choose Sewer Camera Inspection in Lafayette?

We insert a high-resolution camera into your sewer cleanout or drain opening, then carefully navigate the line from your home to the street connection or septic system. As the camera travels through the pipe, we record video and capture images, documenting any cracks, offsets, bellies (sagging sections), root infiltration, or blockages along the way.

Lafayette's mature trees, clay soils, and aging infrastructure make sewer line issues common—roots from live oaks and magnolias often invade older clay pipes, while ground shifting can cause pipe separation or collapse. Turn Key Home Inspection identifies these problems early, giving you leverage to negotiate repairs or budget for future work.

Our drain line camera inspection process is quick, non-invasive, and provides visual proof of your sewer's condition, so you can make informed decisions about your property. Whether you're buying a home built decades ago or dealing with slow drains, a sewer scope inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make.

Schedule your sewer line video inspection today and protect yourself from costly underground repairs in Lafayette.

We arrive with a high-resolution push camera, locate the main cleanout or access point, and feed the cable into the drain line while you watch the live feed on a portable monitor in Lafayette.

How Our Process Works

What if the home doesn't have a cleanout?
We can remove a toilet or access the line through a roof vent, though cleanout installation is recommended for future maintenance and inspections.
Can you tell what type of pipe material is installed?
Yes, the camera clearly shows whether you have cast iron, clay tile, Orangeburg, PVC, or ABS, and we note any transitions or repairs along the run.
What are bellies or sags in a sewer line?
Bellies are low spots where the pipe has settled or shifted, allowing water and waste to pool instead of draining fully, which leads to clogs and backups over time.
Will you identify root intrusion during the inspection?
Absolutely—roots appear as white tendrils or dense clumps inside the pipe, and we measure their location from the cleanout so a plumber knows exactly where to treat or excavate.
Do you provide a recording of the sewer scope?
Yes, we include digital video with timestamp and distance markers, plus still images of any defects, so you can share findings with contractors or negotiate repairs in Lafayette.

Sewer line failures are among the most expensive and disruptive repairs a homeowner can face, but a simple camera inspection before purchase gives you leverage and clarity. Whether you're buying, selling, or troubleshooting slow drains, a thorough sewer lateral inspection protects your investment.
