Before anyone recommends a sewer repair, they should be able to show you the problem. A sewer camera inspection does exactly that. A waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed into the line, and you see what the pipe looks like from the inside in real time.
At Double J Liner Repair, every project starts with a thorough camera inspection. It is how we decide whether UV-cured lining is the right fix and how we plan the job.
The camera usually goes in through a cleanout, a capped access pipe typically found near the foundation or in the yard. The technician pushes the camera down the line while watching a monitor, noting the distance to anything worth recording.
The process is not invasive. Nothing is dug up, and in most cases the inspection is done in well under an hour.
A camera turns guesswork into facts. Here are the conditions we see most often in San Antonio lines:
Without a camera, a contractor is guessing at what is wrong and where. That is how homeowners end up paying for a full replacement when a lining job would have done, or paying for a lining job on a pipe that was never a candidate for one.
The footage also lets us measure the exact length and location of the damage, so the liner is sized correctly and placed exactly where it is needed.
A camera is just as important at the end of the job. After the liner is cured and any branch connections are reopened, we run the camera again so you can see the finished result: a smooth, continuous pipe with no gaps for roots to enter.
Schedule an inspection if you are seeing recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, or sewer odors. It is also smart before buying an older home or after a major root problem has been cleared.
No. The camera enters through an existing cleanout or other access point. Nothing is excavated.
Yes. We walk you through what the camera shows so you understand the condition of your line before deciding on a repair.
Some older homes lack an accessible cleanout. In that case we will discuss other access options, and adding a cleanout can make future maintenance much easier.
