Why Every Sewer Repair Should Start with a Camera Inspection
Before recommending any repair, Sewer Line Repair believes you deserve to see exactly what's happening underground — and that's why we never guess. Serving the 92660, 92661, and 92662 areas near Balboa Pier and Fashion Island, our self-leveling 1080p HD camera provides real-time video of your sewer line's interior, allowing us to pinpoint root intrusion, cracks, joint separation, blockages, bellied sections, corrosion, and collapsed areas with precision, so we recommend only the repair method your pipe actually needs and you never pay for unnecessary work.

Our Camera Inspection Process: What to Expect
We insert our self-leveling HD camera through an existing cleanout or vent stack — no digging required — and navigate through your entire sewer line while you watch live on our monitor. Whether your home is in Irvine, Corona del Mar, or Newport Coast, our built-in distance counter and sonde locator pinpoint the exact location and depth of every issue we find, and we stop to document each problem with photos and video. When complete, you receive a written assessment with recorded footage on USB, detailed repair recommendations, and transparent cost estimates — the entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes.
When Newport Beach Homeowners Need a Sewer Camera Inspection
You should schedule a camera inspection if you're experiencing recurring drain clogs, slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors inside or outside your home, unexplained wet spots in your yard, or gurgling sounds from your plumbing. Homes in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Laguna Beach are especially prone to aging pipe issues — and it's critical before buying a home over 25 years old, since sewer line replacement can cost $5,000 to $25,000 and a $149 inspection can reveal hidden problems that give you negotiating power or save you from a costly surprise after closing.

Advanced Camera Technology for Accurate Diagnostics
Our self-leveling 1080p HD color camera pushes up to 300 feet through pipe diameters from 2 inches to 12 inches, providing crystal-clear video for homes throughout Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and the 92660 and 92661 areas even in the toughest conditions. The built-in sonde transmitter allows us to trace the camera's exact position above ground and mark problem locations precisely near Newport Beach Harbor or anywhere in Newport Beach, while our recording system captures every second of footage on USB for your records, insurance claims, or to share with your real estate agent — giving you complete transparency and documentation you can trust.
Common Sewer Problems Our Camera Reveals in Newport Beach
Every week our cameras reveal hidden problems in Costa Mesa, Irvine, Corona del Mar, and Newport Coast that would have gone undiagnosed without video inspection — tree root intrusion through pipe joints, hairline cracks from ground shifting, heavy corrosion in aging cast iron, grease and mineral scale buildup, bellied pipe sections where waste collects, offset joints from settling soil, Orangeburg pipe deterioration, and complete collapses that homeowners near Balboa Pier and Fashion Island had no idea existed until their first major backup. Early detection through camera inspection prevents emergency situations and gives you time to plan the most cost-effective repair.
