Root Intrusion
Tree roots seek out moisture and nutrients in sewer lines. They enter through small cracks or joints and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing blockages and damage.

Recurring drain problems don't have to be a mystery. Traditional plumbing methods involve a lot of guesswork, often resulting in unnecessary digging or temporary fixes that don't address the real issue. Sewer camera inspections change that completely.
Centrel Services uses high-definition video cameras to inspect the inside of your sewer and drain lines in real time. We see exactly what's causing the problem, whether it's root intrusion, a collapsed pipe, grease buildup, or an offset joint. Then we use hydro jetting, which is high-pressure water cleaning, to blast away clogs that traditional snaking can't touch.
Why Camera Inspections? A $200-$400 camera inspection before purchasing a home can save you $10,000+ in unexpected sewer line repairs.
What Camera Inspections Reveal
Bellied or Sagging Pipes
Soil settling can cause sections of pipe to sag, creating a low spot where waste collects. This "belly" causes repeated backups that snaking temporarily clears but never fixes.
Cracks and Breaks
Older clay and cast iron pipes crack over time. Even PVC pipes can break from ground movement or heavy equipment. We locate cracks before they become major failures.
Offset Joints
When pipe sections shift and no longer line up properly, waste catches on the offset and builds up over time. This is common in older homes.
Grease and Scale Buildup
Commercial kitchens and older residential pipes accumulate grease and mineral scale that narrows the pipe diameter over time.
When You Need a Camera Inspection
Recurring clogs
If you're calling a plumber every few months for the same drain, there's an underlying problem that snaking won't solve.
Buying a home
Sewer line replacement can cost $10,000 or more. A $200-$400 camera inspection before purchase can save you from an expensive surprise.
Slow drains throughout the house
When multiple fixtures drain slowly, the problem is likely in your main sewer line, not individual drains.
Sewage odors
Smells coming from drains can indicate a break in the line where gases are escaping.
Before remodeling
Adding bathrooms or moving plumbing fixtures? Inspect existing lines first to avoid connecting new plumbing to damaged pipes.
Hydro Jetting vs. Traditional Snaking
Drain snakes and augers break through clogs but don't clean the pipe walls. Grease, scale, and debris remain, and the clog comes back. Hydro jetting uses water pressure up to 4,000 PSI to scour pipe walls clean, removing buildup completely.
Jetting is particularly effective for:
- Grease clogs in commercial kitchens
- Root infiltration (combined with root cutting)
- Pipes that have narrowed from scale buildup over decades
After jetting, your pipes flow like new.
Our Process
Our Inspection Process
We insert the camera through an existing cleanout, drain opening, or sewer access point. No digging required for the inspection itself.
As the camera travels through your pipes, we watch the feed on a monitor and can show you exactly what we're seeing. No guessing, no assumptions.
The camera records depth, location markers, and footage of any problems. This documentation helps us target repairs precisely.
Based on what we find, we explain your options clearly. Some problems need jetting, others need trenchless repair. We give you honest recommendations.
What Should a Sewer Camera and Cleaning Quote Include?
Every task you talked about, written down, with what is included and what is not. We learned how much that matters from the other side of the table. A few months back we were collecting bids for CCTV video and cleaning on a major sewer line project. We walked one company through the whole job by phone, emailed them the full scope afterward, and still got back a proposal that quietly dropped a big part of the work.
Nothing on the page said why. It did not take long to figure out that they could not do those tasks. Accepting it would have meant hiring a second company for the missing work and paying more in total. That was a dealbreaker. The same test works for a homeowner or property manager comparing camera and jetting quotes. Does it say how many feet of line get inspected, and from which access point? Do you get a copy of the video? Does it list equipment, disposal, and utility locates, or leave them as surprises? A quote that is vague about scope is usually vague about price too. You can see how our crew runs a jetter in tight quarters on our grey water tank cleaning project aboard a Coast Guard cutter.
