See What’s Happening Inside Your Sewer Line

Not all sewer problems are visible from the surface. A sewer video inspection allows us to look inside your pipes, identify the exact issue, and recommend the right solution—without guesswork.

At Dan’s Drains and Digs, we provide professional sewer camera inspections in Colorado Springs to help homeowners and buyers make informed decisions.



What Is a Sewer Video Inspection?

A sewer video inspection (also called a sewer scope) uses a high-resolution camera to inspect the inside of your sewer line in real time.

With This Technology, We Can:

  • Locate blockages or backups
  • Identify cracks, breaks, or collapsed pipes
  • Detect tree root intrusion
  • Evaluate pipe condition and material
  • Pinpoint the exact location of issues underground

You’ll receive a clear view of your sewer system—often with video documentation for future reference.

When Should You Schedule a Sewer Inspection?

After a Backup or Clog

If your sewer line has recently been cleared, this is the best time to inspect it. A clean pipe allows for the most accurate view of underlying issues.

Before Buying a Home

A sewer inspection is not typically included in a standard home inspection, but it should be.

Why It Matters:

  • Older homes may have hidden sewer line damage
  • Repairs can cost thousands if issues are missed
  • Even newer homes can have installation defects

For Preventative Maintenance

Even if you’re not experiencing problems, a sewer inspection provides peace of mind and helps you plan for future repairs.

What Problems Can a Sewer Camera Find?

  • Tree roots growing into pipes
  • Pipe corrosion or deterioration
  • Cracks, breaks, or separations
  • Bellied or sagging pipes
  • Grease or debris buildup

Once identified, we can recommend the most effective solution—whether that’s cleaning, repair, or replacement.

Accurate Location = Lower Repair Costs

One of the biggest advantages of a sewer video inspection is precision.

Using advanced locating equipment, we can:

  • Pinpoint the exact depth and location of the issue
  • Determine if it’s under your home, yard, or street
  • Avoid unnecessary digging
  • Target only the affected section of pipe

What Happens After the Inspection?

After your inspection, we’ll walk you through the findings and next steps.

Possible Recommendations:

  • Drain cleaning or hydro jetting for buildup
  • Spot repair for isolated damage
  • Trenchless pipe lining (CIPP) for restoration
  • Full sewer line replacement if needed

Frequently Asked Questions?

A sewer camera inspection shows the full interior of the sewer line from the cleanout to the city connection — including the pipe material and condition, the location and density of any root intrusion, cracked or offset joints, sections that have bellied or partially collapsed, scale and debris buildup, and any areas where the pipe has deteriorated significantly. The camera produces video footage that is reviewed in real time and can be shared with the homeowner.

Most residential sewer camera inspections take 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish. The time varies slightly depending on the length of the lateral line and whether the cleanout is easily accessible. We’ll walk you through the footage before we leave so you understand exactly what the camera found.

For any home built before 1980, a sewer scope is strongly recommended before closing. Original clay and cast iron sewer lines in older Colorado Springs neighborhoods frequently show root intrusion, offset joints, and deterioration that a standard home inspection won’t catch. The cost of a scope is minor compared to the cost of a repair or replacement that shows up in the first year of ownership.

Sewer camera inspection pricing varies. Call us at (719) 375-8181 for current pricing and to schedule. For homebuyers, the inspection includes a video recording and written summary you can use in the purchase negotiation if anything is found.

We walk you through the camera footage and explain what we found, where it is, and what the options are. From there you can schedule a repair, get a written estimate, or take the footage to use in a home purchase negotiation. There’s no pressure to commit to anything on the spot — the inspection gives you information, and the decision about next steps is yours.
