Sewer & septic line inspections

One of the most expensive surprises a homeowner can face is a damaged or failing sewer line. These problems are hidden underground and can’t be identified during a standard home inspection.

Know what’s happening underground before it becomes your problem

We use specialized sewer camera equipment to inspect the underground drainage line from the home toward the city sewer connection or, for homes with septic systems, from the home toward the septic tank.

Whether your home connects to a municipal sewer or a private septic system, our goal is to help you understand the condition of the accessible underground line before an expensive problem develops.

What we look at

  • Tree root intrusion
  • Cracked, broken or damaged pipes
  • Pipe offsets or separated connections
  • Blockages and debris buildup
  • Standing water or improper drainage
  • Deteriorating or aging sewer lines

Who it’s for

  • Buyers of older homes
  • Homes with mature trees near the line
  • Homes on a septic system
  • Anyone with slow drains or past backups

Our septic line inspection evaluates the accessible pipe between the home and the septic tank. It is not a complete septic tank, drain field or septic system inspection.

The Grizzly difference

We take the time to explain our findings, answer your questions, and make sure you understand what matters. No scare tactics. No unnecessary upselling. Just thorough inspections, clear answers, and honest service.

How long does it take?

Most sewer camera inspections take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on accessibility and the condition of the line.

What do you receive?

A detailed inspection report with video documentation of the line and explanations of any concerns we find.

Why inspect?

Sewer repairs can cost thousands of dollars. A camera inspection is a relatively small investment that can catch costly issues before you buy or before a major backup.

Sewer or septic?

Homes on a city sewer drain through a main line to the municipal system. Homes on a septic system drain to a tank on the property, then to a drain field. Either way, we scope the accessible line leaving the house.
