Sewer Camera Inspection in Rockwall, TX
What Is Sewer Camera Inspection?
Sewer camera inspection uses waterproof, high-resolution cameras attached to flexible cables to provide real-time video inside your pipes. This cutting-edge technology eliminates guesswork, allowing our technicians to see exactly what’s causing drainage problems in your Rockwall home or business.

What Sewer Cameras Reveal in Rockwall Properties
Rockwall’s unique soil conditions and mature tree coverage create specific challenges for sewer systems. Our camera inspections identify problems common to the area and provide solutions before they become emergencies.
Common Issues We Discover
Tree Root Intrusion
Rockwall’s beautiful mature trees can wreak havoc on sewer lines. Roots seek moisture and nutrients, infiltrating pipes through small cracks and eventually causing complete blockages. Camera inspection shows exactly where roots have penetrated and their extent.
Pipe Deterioration and Breaks
Aging clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes common in older Rockwall neighborhoods deteriorate over time. Our cameras reveal cracks, holes, collapsed sections, and joint separations that compromise system integrity.
