Sewer & Drain Camera Inspection in Chattanooga, TN

Guessing at what’s wrong with a sewer line usually means guessing at the repair, too. South East Total Service runs pan-and-tilt cameras with integrated LED lighting and laser pipe measurement through residential and commercial lines to see exactly what’s happening underground: a root intrusion, a bellied pipe, a cracked joint, or simple grease buildup, before a shovel ever touches the ground.

When a Camera Inspection Makes Sense

Recurring drain clogs that keep coming back after cleaning
Slow drains throughout the house that point to a main line issue
Sewer odors inside or around the home
Before buying a home with an older sewer lateral
Before and after trenchless sewer repair, to confirm the scope and the result
Tree root intrusion suspected near mature trees or older clay pipe

Our inspection cameras use pan-and-tilt heads, integrated LED lighting, and laser measurement to give a clear, accurate picture of pipe condition, not just a blurry glimpse of a blockage. That level of detail lets us measure pipe diameter, pinpoint the exact distance to a problem from the access point, and tell the difference between a simple clog and a structural issue like a collapsed or bellied section of pipe.

A camera inspection isn’t just a diagnostic add-on for us, it’s how we decide the right repair method. If the pipe itself is sound and the issue is a blockage, we clear it with hydro-jetting or standard drain cleaning. If the camera shows root intrusion, a cracked joint, or a bellied section, we can usually resolve it with trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining instead of excavating the whole yard. Either way, you get a specific answer instead of a guess.

We perform camera inspections for homeowners dealing with recurring drain issues, for commercial properties on a preventative maintenance schedule, and for real estate transactions where a buyer or agent wants to confirm the condition of an older sewer lateral before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get a sewer camera inspection?

A camera inspection is worth scheduling any time drains clog repeatedly, a home is slow to drain throughout, sewer odors appear, or you’re buying a home with an older sewer lateral. It’s also useful before and after trenchless sewer repair to confirm the scope and results of the work.

What can a sewer camera actually detect?

Our cameras can identify root intrusion, cracked or separated pipe joints, bellied or collapsed sections, grease and scale buildup, and general blockages. Laser measurement also lets us confirm pipe diameter and pinpoint the exact distance to a problem area.

How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?

Cost depends on the length of the line being inspected and site access. We provide an upfront, flat price before starting, so you know the cost before any work begins.

Can a camera inspection help me avoid unnecessary digging?

Yes. Seeing the exact location and nature of a problem lets us recommend the least invasive repair option that will actually fix it, whether that’s clearing a blockage, spot-repairing a section, or using trenchless lining instead of a full excavation.

Do you provide inspection reports for real estate transactions?

Yes. We can document the condition of a sewer lateral for buyers, sellers, or agents who want a clear picture of the line’s condition before a home purchase closes.
