Sewer Camera Inspection
in Westminster, CO

A sewer camera inspection — also called a sewer scope or video sewer inspection — uses a waterproof camera on a flexible cable to view the inside of an accessible sewer or drain line. In Westminster, our plumbers use this technology to identify tree roots, cracks, heavy buildup, pipe separation, blockages, and other conditions that can't be seen without digging.

Sewer camera inspection cost in Westminster depends on the length and accessibility of the line, the scope of inspection, and whether additional services like hydro jetting or repair are needed. Call (720) 255-9702 for pricing based on your specific property and plumbing system.

Most sewer camera inspections in Westminster take 30–90 minutes depending on the length of the line, the accessibility of the cleanout, and what we find along the way. If a blockage or complex condition is discovered, additional time may be needed to fully document and assess it.

Yes — tree root intrusion is one of the most common findings in Westminster's older neighborhoods. Roots typically enter through cracks, pipe joints, or damaged sections. The camera clearly shows the location, density, and extent of root intrusion, so we can recommend the most effective solution.

Yes, especially for older homes. A standard home inspection evaluates what's visible — a sewer camera inspection evaluates what's underground. In Westminster and Adams County, older clay and cast iron sewer lines are common. A sewer scope before purchase can reveal expensive problems — or confirm the line is in good shape and give you negotiating leverage.

Not always — but for recurring sewer problems or any situation where the pipe condition is unknown, we recommend it. A cracked or deteriorated pipe can be damaged further by high-pressure water. Camera inspection first confirms the line is structurally sound and tells us exactly where the buildup is so cleaning is more targeted and effective.

Yes. The camera can identify the location and general nature of many blockages — whether it's a root mass, a grease accumulation, a foreign object, or a section of collapsed pipe. Knowing the type of obstruction determines the right clearing method.

Coverage depends on the accessibility, condition, length, and configuration of the pipe. We access the line through a cleanout, floor drain, or other entry point and advance the camera as far as conditions allow. Most of the line from your home to the city main can typically be inspected through a standard cleanout.

No — a camera inspection is a diagnostic service that shows what's happening inside the pipe. If damage is found, we explain what it is, where it is, and what repair options make sense. Separate services like hydro jetting, root removal, sewer repair, or replacement address the actual problem.

If the inspection reveals structural damage — a crack, break, collapse, or severe pipe separation — we'll explain the location, extent, and repair options. Depending on the severity, options may include trenchless sewer lining, pipe bursting, or traditional sewer repair or replacement. You'll have a clear picture of the problem before any repair decision.

In many cases, yes. The camera will either reach the collapsed section and show the restriction clearly, or the camera cable will physically stop advancing — which itself indicates a severe obstruction or collapse. Either way, you have a precise location for the problem before any excavation begins.
