Frequently Asked Questions

Video Pipe Inspections in Malden

What can't a sewer camera show?
It sees the inside of the pipe only. It can't see the outside of the pipe, the soil around it, or sections past a blockage, sharp bend, or a point the camera can't pass.
Does the line need to be cleaned first?
Sometimes. A backed-up line or heavy buildup can hide defects, so we may clear it first to get useful footage.
What's the difference between a sewer camera inspection and a video pipe inspection?
Same thing. 'Sewer camera inspection,' 'video pipe inspection,' 'sewer scope,' 'drain camera' — all describe running a waterproof HD camera through a pipe so you can see the inside. We use the same equipment for residential laterals, commercial drains, and pre-purchase home inspections.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Boston?
A standalone HD sewer camera inspection in Greater Boston runs $295–$495 and includes line locate, depth marking, and inspection footage. We often discount it when bundled with cleaning. Branch line / fixture push-camera work is $195–$345.
What does a sewer camera show?
It shows the interior condition of the pipe — cracks, root intrusion, bellies (sags), separated joints, scale buildup, foreign objects, and the exact pipe material (cast iron, clay, PVC, Orangeburg). With a sonde locator we also mark the exact location and depth of any defect above ground.
Do I need a camera inspection before buying a home?
Yes if the home is older than 25 years, has any large trees near the sewer line, or is in a neighborhood with known clay or Orangeburg pipe (most of older Boston, Dorchester, Brookline, Cambridge, and the inner suburbs). Hidden sewer line damage is one of the most expensive surprises in a home purchase — a $295 inspection has saved many of our clients $15,000+ repair bills.
Do you provide a video of the inspection?
Yes — we share the footage and a written summary so you have a complete record. Real estate clients use it for negotiation; property managers use it for capital planning; insurance clients use it for claims.
Can you locate the depth and exact spot of a problem?
Yes. The camera has a 512 Hz sonde transmitter built into the head. We bring a locator above ground, walk the line, and mark the exact location and depth of any defect with paint. No guessing where to dig.
