Call (713) 686-7000A Houston sewer inspection starts with a camera on a flexible cable. Your plumber will figure out the best way to access your line. It’s usually a hatch in your basement or outside.
They will thread the camera down through your sewer line, videoing all the way. They will flush toilets and run water if they need to do so to see what happens in your sewer line when something drains.
If they find a problem, they may leave the camera in the line for a few minutes so they can go outside and detect its signal from your yard. This tells them where the problem is so they can plan a repair better.
If they find a lost item, they may be able to retrieve it with the camera and the cable, too. When they’re done, you’ll get a recording of your sewer line for your personal reference.

This is up to you. These inspections are great when planning a sewer repair or buying a property, but they aren’t essential. You make the final call when it comes to inspecting your sewer.
Sewer inspections can help you catch sewer issues before they become major problems. This can help you make repairs or plan ahead so you don’t face a sewer emergency anytime soon.
A professional sewer camera inspection from Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning can identify blockages (like grease buildup, tree roots, or debris), cracks or breaks in the pipe, pipe corrosion or deterioration, misaligned or collapsed sections, bellied or sagging pipes that collect waste, and signs of ground shifting affecting your line. In Houston’s shifting soil conditions, these inspections are particularly valuable for detecting problems before they result in backups or property damage. Our high-definition cameras can also locate lost valuables that may have gone down drains.
We recommend scheduling a Houston sewer inspection when buying a property (especially homes older than 20 years), before major landscaping projects that could damage underground lines, if you’re experiencing recurring drain issues or backups, every 2 years for preventive maintenance, before finishing a basement where cleanup would be costly, and when selling your home to reassure potential buyers. Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides flexible scheduling to accommodate your timeline, particularly for pre-purchase inspections that may be time-sensitive.
Yes, our advanced sewer camera equipment not only identifies problems but precisely locates them. The camera includes a radio transmitter that allows our Houston technicians to mark the exact position and depth of issues from above ground. This precision is crucial for minimizing excavation during repairs, particularly important in Houston’s established neighborhoods with valuable landscaping. Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides recordings of the inspection and detailed diagrams showing problem locations for your reference and any future work.
