Plain-language findings

A sewer camera inspection puts a waterproof camera on a flexible push rod and sends it down the main drain line. The head carries its own lights, and a counter on the reel records how many feet of cable are out, so every crack or root shows up with a distance attached. Most homes in Gresham, OR have one main line leaving the house, and that is the line the camera follows.

What the footage shows

  • Pipe material and where it changes, such as cast iron inside the house switching to clay or PVC in the yard
  • Standing water that marks a belly, or low spot, in the line
  • Offset joints where one section has dropped or shifted against the next
  • Root strands or root masses coming through joints
  • Cracks, holes, crushed sections and heavy scale

Access and length of the run

The tech enters through a cleanout when there is one. Without a cleanout, a toilet can be pulled and the camera sent in at the flange, or the run can start from a roof vent. Push cameras typically reach 100 to 200 feet, which covers the distance to the public main on most residential lots.

After the run

You can watch the monitor during the inspection and ask about anything on screen. The recording is yours to keep. It gives any contractor you call something concrete to price against, and it gives you a baseline to compare with if the line acts up later.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Questions we hear most often about Sewer Camera Inspection in Gresham, OR.

Talk to a real person
What does an offset joint mean on my inspection report?
An offset means two pipe sections no longer line up at the joint, so one edge sticks into the flow. Soil movement, settling, roots and freeze-thaw cycles can all cause it. A slight offset may cause no trouble, while a larger one catches paper, lets roots in and can stop a cleaning cable. The report should list how far down the line each offset sits.
What is Orangeburg pipe, and why do inspectors flag it?
Orangeburg is a fiber pipe made from wood pulp and coal tar pitch, installed widely from the 1940s into the 1970s. After a few decades underground it starts to soften, blister and flatten under the weight of the soil, and on camera it often looks oval. Because it keeps deforming, most owners plan to replace it rather than patch it.
Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street?
In most U.S. cities the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to at least the property line, and often all the way to the connection at the public main, including the part under the street. Rules differ from city to city. Check with the public works department that serves Gresham, OR before you approve repairs, so you know which section is yours.
Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?
Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.
How often should a sewer line be inspected?
There is no single rule. Many owners scope a line when they buy a home and again only if symptoms show up. Homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg pipe, large trees nearby, or a known defect being monitored benefit from a scope every year or two. Comparing each new video with the last one shows whether anything is changing.
