Sewer Camera Inspection in Marietta and Metro Atlanta

When a drain keeps backing up, the question that matters is why. A sewer camera inspection answers it with video instead of guesswork. A&G Plumbing and Drain runs camera inspections for homeowners in Marietta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, and across Metro Atlanta, so you can see the actual condition of your sewer line before you spend a dollar on repairs.

When a Camera Inspection Makes Sense

• Recurring Clogs: The same line backs up every few months no matter how often it is cleared.
• Multiple Fixtures Acting Up: Gurgling toilets and slow drains in different rooms point to the main line.
• Buying an Older Home: A sewer scope inspection before closing shows the condition of a pipe no standard home inspection covers.
• Sewage Odors: A persistent smell in the yard or basement suggests a break or severe blockage worth confirming on video.
• Before Big Landscaping or a Renovation: Know where the line runs and what shape it is in before you build over it.

How a Sewer Scope Inspection Works

We feed a waterproof video camera on a flexible rod into the line, usually through an existing cleanout, and watch the footage live as it travels toward the city main. A standard residential inspection usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on access and what we find. You see what we see. There is no interpreting a mystery report; the pipe’s condition is on the screen, and we walk you through it in plain language. It is the same CCTV sewer inspection service we run in Roswell, Sandy Springs, and Atlanta homes across the metro.

What the Pipe Inspection Camera Finds

• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots enter older clay and cast iron lines at the joints and grow until the pipe blocks or breaks. Our post on tree roots in sewer lines covers the warning signs.
• Cracked or Collapsed Pipe: Structural damage that calls for sewer line repair or replacement.
• Bellies: Sagging sections that hold water and waste and cause repeat clogs.
• Blockages: Grease, wipes, and buildup that professional drain cleaning can clear once we know exactly where they sit.

What an Inspection Costs

You get a price for the inspection before we start, and the footage informs everything after it. If the camera shows a problem, we price the repair options separately, and you approve any next step before it happens. No one should approve an excavation on faith, and with video, you do not have to.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

How long does a sewer camera inspection take?

Usually between 30 and 60 minutes for a standard residential line. Access to the cleanout, the length of the run to the city main, and what we find along the way all affect the time.

Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?

Yes, especially in older Atlanta and Marietta neighborhoods with mature trees. Standard home inspectors do not look inside underground sewer lines, and root-congested clay pipe is a common surprise. A camera inspection before closing tells you what you are actually buying.

Can a sewer camera find water leaks?

No. Cameras show structural problems like cracks, roots, bellies, and collapses inside drain lines. They cannot travel through small pressurized water pipes. For leaks behind walls or under slabs, we use leak detection instead.

Do you run camera inspections outside Marietta?

Yes. We handle CCTV pipe inspection, drain camera services, and sewer video camera work in Roswell, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, and communities across Metro Atlanta.
