Atlanta Sewer Camera Inspections

Advanced Diagnostic Services in North Metro Atlanta

Recurring drain backups, slow-flowing fixtures, and mysterious sewage odors often point to problems deep inside your sewer line where traditional inspection methods can't reach. For decades, plumbers relied on guesswork and trial-and-error digging to locate underground issues, tearing up yards and driveways in search of problems they couldn't actually see. Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing takes a smarter approach with professional sewer camera inspections that use high-definition video technology to diagnose exactly what's happening inside your pipes. 

Our plumbing services team can insert waterproof cameras into your sewer line and navigate through the entire system, capturing real-time footage that reveals hidden damage without any destructive excavation. Whether you're dealing with persistent backups, planning a home purchase, or simply want to verify your sewer line's condition, our camera inspections eliminate guesswork, prevent unnecessary digging, and allow us to recommend targeted repairs that address your actual problem rather than just symptoms.

How Sewer Camera Inspections Prevent Messy and Expensive Recurring Issues

When sewer problems keep coming back despite repeated drain cleaning or repairs, the issue isn't that the fixes didn't work; it's that the wrong problem was addressed in the first place. Without visual confirmation of what's actually happening underground, plumbers often treat symptoms like blockages or slow drainage without identifying the underlying cause. 

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing uses sewer camera inspections to eliminate this frustrating cycle. Our high-definition cameras show us the complete condition of your sewer line from the inside, revealing not just where a problem exists but why it developed in the first place. We can see whether a backup is caused by a simple grease accumulation that responds to hydro jetting or by a collapsed pipe section that requires excavation and replacement. We identify tree roots at their entry point so repairs target the actual breach rather than just clearing roots that will immediately regrow.

Issues Diagnosed with Sewer Camera Inspections

Our high-definition camera technology reveals problems that remain completely hidden to traditional diagnostic methods, giving you a complete picture of your sewer line's condition and health.

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing uses sewer camera inspections to identify:

• Tree root intrusion. Invasive roots that penetrate through joints, cracks, or deteriorated pipe sections create blockages that grow larger over time and can completely crush pipes if left unaddressed.
• Collapsed or broken pipe sections. Sections that have cracked, separated, or collapsed entirely from ground movement, age, or excessive weight above create severe blockages and allow soil to enter your sewer line.
• Grease and debris buildup. Accumulated cooking oils, soap residue, and organic material that coat pipe walls and restrict flow, eventually creating complete obstructions that cause backups throughout your property.
• Corrosion and deterioration. Advanced rust, pitting, and material breakdown in older cast iron, clay, or galvanized pipes can weaken structural integrity and lead to sudden failures requiring emergency repairs.
• Misaligned or separated joints. Pipe connections that have shifted apart due to settling allow wastewater to leak into the surrounding soil while permitting tree roots and debris to enter your system.
• Foreign objects and improper materials. Items that don't belong in sewer lines, including hygiene products, construction debris, or objects accidentally flushed, can create stubborn blockages resistant to conventional clearing methods.
• Bellied or sagging sections. Pipe segments that have sunk below grade and created low spots where waste and water collect rather than flowing properly, leading to recurring clogs and slow drainage.
