About this service
Sewer camera inspection Greer SC: what it is and why it matters
A sewer camera inspection Greer SC is a diagnostic service that sends a waterproof camera through your main sewer line to record its condition from the inside. We start at the cleanout, push a flexible rod with a self-leveling camera head, and watch live video on a monitor. The camera measures distance, so we can pinpoint a crack at 32 feet or a root ball at 47 feet. You get a clear picture of what's happening underground without digging up your yard.
Greer's older neighborhoods like Downtown Greer and Greer Station have cast iron and clay pipes that crack and root over time. Newer subdivisions off Highway 14 and near Lake Robinson often deal with grease buildup and slow drains. If you're buying a home, a sewer line video inspection before cleaning Greer SC can save you thousands in surprise repairs. We also handle 24/7 sewer camera inspection Greer South Carolina calls when a backup can't wait until morning.

“We had a slow drain for months. Drain Cleaning Pros ran a camera and found a root ball at 38 feet. They showed me the video and cleared it the same day. No more backups. I appreciated that they didn't try to sell me a new line when a root cutting was all I needed.”

You need one if you have recurring clogs, slow drains, or sewage odors. Also before buying a home, after a major backup, or if your house is over 20 years old. In Greer, older cast iron and clay pipes are prone to root intrusion and cracks. A camera inspection gives you a clear picture before you spend money on repairs.
Yes. Tree roots are the number one cause of sewer line blockages in Greer. Our camera shows root intrusion in real time, including the size and location. We can then clear the roots with a rooter machine or hydro jetting and recommend a preventive plan to keep them from coming back.
Absolutely. We always recommend a camera inspection before hydro jetting. It tells us if the pipe can handle high-pressure water or if it's too fragile. In older Greer homes with cast iron or clay pipe, jetting without a camera can cause a collapse. We inspect first, then jet only if it's safe.
