What We Do
A camera that shows
you everything.
Our high-resolution waterproof camera travels the full length of your pipe — sewer line, drain line, or wherever the problem is suspected. We run it in real time, describe what we see as we go, and you get to watch alongside us.
No assumptions. No “probably root intrusion” guesses that lead to expensive work you may not need. The camera shows the problem — or confirms there isn't one.

How It Works

Run the Camera
High-resolution waterproof camera travels the full length of the pipe. We see every inch in real time.
- Step 3:
Review Together

- Step 4:
Written Report
You get a written report with findings and our recommendation. Whether you need repair or just peace of mind.
Know the Signs
Is there really a problem —
or just a slow drain?
When do you actually need a camera inspection?
Not every slow drain needs a camera. Here's when it's worth it.
Before buying a home
AlwaysThe sewer line is the most expensive thing that can go wrong and it's not in any disclosure. A camera inspection is $200–$400 and can save you $10,000+.
Recurring drain problems
YesIf you've cleared a drain twice and it keeps coming back, the camera tells you whether it's a behavioral issue or a structural one.
Pre-repair verification
IncludedWe run a camera before any sewer repair to confirm scope, and after to confirm the fix. It's part of our process.
Signs it's time to schedule

FAQ
Common questions
Everything homeowners ask before booking a pipe inspection.
A standard sewer camera inspection typically costs $200–$400 depending on pipe length and access. Pre-purchase inspections are priced separately from service calls. We give you a clear price before we start — no surprises.
Most inspections take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on pipe length and how many access points we need to check. We walk through the footage with you before we leave, so factor in some extra time for the review.
Yes. We document the inspection and can provide footage. Our written report includes our findings and recommendations. If you need a copy of the video for a real estate transaction or insurance claim, let us know ahead of time.
A camera can identify tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipe sections, offset joints (pipes that have shifted out of alignment), grease or scale buildup, corrosion in older cast iron or galvanized pipes, and foreign object blockages. It can also confirm a pipe is in good condition — which is just as valuable.
We recommend it — especially if this is for a pre-purchase or diagnostic inspection. We walk through the footage with you in real time so you can ask questions and fully understand what we're seeing. If you can't be present, we'll document everything thoroughly and follow up by phone.
We run a camera before any sewer repair to confirm the scope of the problem — not to upsell, but because it's the only way to know exactly what we're dealing with. After repair, we run it again to verify the fix. It's part of our process, not an add-on.
Yes. Pre-purchase sewer inspections are one of the most common jobs we do. The sewer line is the most expensive system in a home that doesn't show up in any seller disclosure. A camera inspection before close of escrow is $200–$400 and can save you $10,000 or more in post-purchase repairs. Call us at (925) 288-0409 to schedule.
Customer Reviews
Don't take our
word for it.
“They ran a camera before our home purchase — found a cracked pipe the seller didn't disclose. Worth every penny. We negotiated a $6,000 repair credit before closing.”
“I had a recurring slow drain that two other plumbers couldn't fix. Guerra Bros. ran a camera and showed me root intrusion about 40 feet in. Fixed it right the first time.”
“Professional, thorough, and they actually showed me the footage and explained everything. The written report was clear and helped me decide on next steps. Highly recommend.”
