Plain-language findings

A recorded sewer video is only useful if you can make sense of it later. A good report pairs the footage with a written log so you, a buyer, a seller or a contractor can jump to the exact spot that matters.

What the written log should list

  • Property address, date and the access point used
  • Pipe diameter and each material found along the run
  • Every observation with its footage distance, such as roots at a joint at 34 feet
  • Where the camera stopped and why, if it did not reach the main

Reading the common terms

Belly means a section has settled lower than the pipe on either side, so water and solids collect there. Offset means two sections no longer line up; a small offset may just catch debris, while a large one can stop a cable. Cracks range from hairline marks to open fractures with soil visible. Scale and tuberculation describe the rough buildup inside cast iron. Orangeburg is a tar-soaked fiber pipe used widely from the 1940s into the 1970s; on video it often looks blistered or squeezed into an oval.

Keep the file

Store the video with your house papers. If problems show up years later in your Berkeley, CA home, comparing new footage with the old recording shows how fast a defect is changing, and whether it is changing at all.

Sewer Video Report FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Video Report

Questions we hear most often about Sewer Video Report in Berkeley, CA.

Talk to a real person
What is a belly in a sewer line?
A belly is a section of pipe that has sunk lower than the pipe on either side, usually because the soil underneath settled or washed out. On video it shows up as standing water that the camera dips into. Waste and paper collect in the low spot, so a line with a belly tends to clog again and again. Shallow bellies may only need monitoring; deep ones often need the section re-laid.
Are roots in the sewer line a reason to walk away from a house?
Not by themselves. Light roots at a joint or two are common in older lines and can often be cleared, with the joints sealed later by a liner or spot repair. What matters more is whether roots have cracked or displaced the pipe, how many joints are affected and what the pipe is made of. Get a repair quote based on the footage before deciding.
Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?
Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.
What affects the price of a sewer camera inspection?
Price depends on how easy the line is to reach, how long it runs, whether it has to be cleared before the camera can pass, whether a locate and written report are included, and whether the job is residential or commercial. A line with an outdoor cleanout is simpler than one that means pulling a toilet or going in through a roof vent. Ask what the visit includes when you book.
Does the line need to be cleaned before a camera inspection?
Not usually. A camera can travel a working line with normal flow, and running a little water helps show the grade. If the line is fully blocked or coated in heavy grease, the camera may not pass and the line may need clearing first. For a home purchase, get the seller's permission before any cleaning, since clearing can hide conditions a buyer wants to see.
