Our Story
Sewer Camera Inspection
Something is wrong with your drain or sewer line, and you want to know why before anyone starts digging. That is a fair ask. A sewer camera inspection in Westminster, CO lets us look inside your pipe with a small waterproof camera. We push it down the line and watch a live screen as it goes. You watch right along with us. No guessing, no digging blind. When the camera finds the trouble spot, you see it the moment we do.
Some folks call this a sewer scope inspection. Others type “sewer line inspection near me” into their phone when a drain keeps backing up. It is all the same job. We send a camera into the pipe, find the problem, and show you what is there before you spend a dollar on repairs.

You See the Footage, Every Time
A lot of people ask, “Can you show me the problem?” The answer is always yes. That is the whole point of a camera inspection.
The camera sits on the end of a long, bendy cable. As it moves through your pipe, it sends video back to a screen. We stand there and watch it with you. If there are roots in the line, you see the roots. If the pipe is cracked, you see the crack.
We can save the video and photos too. Want a copy for your records, or to show a spouse or a home inspector? Just ask. You are not taking our word for anything. The pipe shows you itself.
What a Sewer Camera Inspection Shows Inside Your Line
South of 80th, plenty of Westminster houses were built before 1980 with cast iron or clay sewer pipe. Those pipes wear out. Here is what the camera often finds, in plain words:
- Root intrusion. Tree roots grow toward water. They slip into tiny gaps in the pipe and spread inside like a net. Mature trees in older yards are a common cause.
- Offset joints. Pipe comes in sections that connect end to end. When the ground shifts, two sections can slide out of line. That little lip catches paper and grease and starts a backup. Our clay soil swells and shrinks a lot, so this is common here.
- Bellies. A belly is a low spot where the pipe sags and holds water instead of draining. Waste settles in that dip and builds up. Soil movement and freeze-thaw can pull a pipe into a belly.
- Collapse. This is the worst case. The pipe has broken and fallen in on itself, so waste cannot pass. Old cast iron and clay lines are the usual victims.
Seeing the exact problem matters. Roots get treated one way. A collapsed pipe needs another. The camera tells us which one you have, so you do not pay to fix the wrong thing.

A Sewer Scope Before You Buy a Home
Buying a house is a big deal. A normal home inspection often skips the sewer line, because you cannot see it from the surface. A cracked or root-filled line can cost thousands, and that bill lands on you after closing.
A sewer scope before you buy is smart money. We run the camera from the house out to the city main and show you the shape the line is in. If it is clean, you buy with peace of mind. If we find roots, a belly, or a break, you learn it before you sign. That gives you room to ask the seller to fix it or to lower the price. In older Westminster neighborhoods like Legacy Ridge and Shaw Heights, this is well worth it. That is where hidden sewer problems like to sit and wait.

A Bad Finding Does Not Mean Full Replacement
Here is something to hear clearly. Finding a problem on camera does not mean you need a whole new sewer line. A lot of the time, it does not.
Roots can often be cut out and the line cleared, then kept in check with regular drain cleaning. A single cracked section might only need a spot sewer line repair, not a full dig. Even lines that look rough can sometimes be fixed from the inside, with no digging in your yard. We carry FlexShaft and Picote tools for that kind of work, gear most local shops do not have.
We will always tell you the smallest fix that solves the problem. If a spot repair will hold, we say so. Full replacement is a last resort, not a first pitch.
A camera inspection in the Denver metro often runs around $250 to $750. When it leads to a repair we do for you, that cost is sometimes credited toward the repair. Thomas, our owner, is a master plumber with 28 years on the tools. He does the job the way he would in his own home. You get an upfront price before any work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will you really show me what the camera finds? A: Yes, always. You watch the live screen with us during the inspection. If there are roots, a crack, or a collapse, you see it the same time we do. We can also save the video and photos so you have a copy.
Q: How much does a sewer camera inspection cost in Westminster? A: In the Denver metro, a camera inspection often runs around $250 to $750. If it leads to a repair we do for you, that cost is sometimes credited toward the repair. We give you an upfront price before we start, so call us at (720) 829-9475 for an exact quote.
Q: Does a problem on camera mean I need a whole new sewer line? A: No. Many issues, like roots or one cracked section, can be handled with cleaning or a small spot repair. Full replacement is a last resort. We always tell you the smallest fix that will solve the problem.
Q: Should I get a sewer scope before buying a home? A: It is a smart move. A normal home inspection usually skips the sewer line. A scope shows you the true shape of the pipe before you buy, which can save you thousands and give you room to talk price with the seller. This matters most on older Westminster homes.
