Service Overview
Sewer Camera Inspection With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
When drains run slow, backups repeat, or odors linger, the problem is somewhere inside your pipes — but without a camera, no one can tell you exactly where or why. Guessing means unnecessary digging, wasted money, and repairs that may not solve anything. A sewer camera inspection gives you a real diagnosis before any work begins.
Lapin Services has served Central Florida since 1958 with a team carrying 200+ years of combined technical experience. Our licensed technicians insert a high-resolution camera directly into your sewer line, inspect the full length of the pipe, and walk you through the footage on the spot — so you understand the condition of your system and exactly what needs to happen next.
Problems We Solve
Common Sewer Camera Inspection Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots seek out the moisture inside sewer lines and push through joints and cracks over time. Once inside, they catch debris and cause blockages that get worse with every flush.
Grease and Debris Buildup
Fats, oils, and grease coat pipe walls and accumulate into thick blockages that slow or stop flow entirely. Camera inspection pinpoints the exact buildup location so cleaning is targeted, not guesswork.
Cracked or Collapsed Pipe
Age, ground movement, and corrosion can crack or fully collapse sections of your sewer line. A camera reveals the extent of the damage so repairs are scoped correctly the first time.
Offset or Separated Joints
Shifting soil causes pipe sections to separate or fall out of alignment, creating ledges where waste collects and backs up. Camera inspection identifies offsets that would otherwise go undetected.
Pipe Corrosion and Deterioration
Older cast iron and clay pipes corrode from the inside out, narrowing the flow path and eventually failing. Video inspection shows the current condition so you can plan repairs before an emergency forces the issue.
When to Call
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Slow or Gurgling Drains
If multiple drains in your home or building are running slow or making gurgling sounds, the problem is likely in the main sewer line — not just a single fixture. Camera inspection finds the cause fast.
Repeated Clogs Despite Cleaning
When the same line keeps backing up after clearing, something structural — roots, offset pipe, or buildup — is behind it. A camera shows exactly what's happening so the real fix can be made.
Sewage Odors Inside or Outside
Persistent sewer smells are a sign of a crack, break, or gap in your line. Camera inspection locates the breach so it can be repaired before waste spreads further or causes a health hazard.
Unusually Lush Patches in the Yard
A section of grass that's greener or growing faster than surrounding areas may be fed by a leaking sewer line underground. Video inspection confirms whether a broken pipe is the source.
Buying or Selling a Home
Sewer line condition isn't visible during a standard home inspection. A pre-purchase camera inspection protects buyers from inheriting expensive underground problems — and gives sellers confidence in what they're disclosing.

FAQs
Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
How does a sewer camera inspection work?
A flexible rod with a high-resolution waterproof camera is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout access point. As the camera travels through the pipe, it transmits live footage to a monitor so the technician — and you — can see exactly what’s inside the line in real time. The full inspection is recorded and provided with your written report.
How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
Most residential sewer camera inspections take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on line length, access, and what the camera encounters. Commercial or longer runs may take additional time. We give you an accurate time estimate when you schedule.
Will the inspection damage my pipes?
No. The camera equipment is designed to travel through the pipe without contact with the pipe walls in a way that causes damage. It is a diagnostic tool only — no cutting, digging, or pipe disturbance is involved.
What if the camera finds a problem?
If the inspection reveals a blockage, crack, root intrusion, or other issue, our technician will explain exactly what was found and walk you through the repair options — including cost and timeline. You’re never obligated to proceed with repairs on the spot.
Do I need a sewer inspection when buying a home?
Yes — strongly recommended. Standard home inspections do not evaluate the underground sewer line. A camera inspection before closing can reveal root intrusion, cracked pipe, or a deteriorated system that would cost thousands to repair after purchase. It’s one of the most cost-effective inspections a buyer can request.
How often should I have my sewer line inspected?
For most homeowners, every 3–5 years is a reasonable interval for preventive inspection — especially in homes with mature trees near the sewer line or pipes older than 30 years. If you’re experiencing recurring drain problems, don’t wait for the next scheduled interval.
Can a camera inspection locate where my sewer line is?
Yes. Our camera equipment includes a locating transmitter that allows us to pinpoint the camera’s exact position underground. This is useful for mapping your sewer line layout and identifying the precise location of any damage before digging.
