Camera & Sewer Inspections

Professional video inspection to diagnose plumbing issues for New Jersey homes

Camera & Sewer Inspections in Somerset County, NJ

When drains back up, toilets gurgle, or sewer problems keep coming back, guessing only makes things worse. At NJ New Era Plumbing & Heating, we provide professional camera and sewer inspection services throughout Somerset County and Central New Jersey, allowing us to locate problems accurately and recommend the correct fix the first time.

Instead of unnecessary digging or repeated drain clearing, we use advanced camera technology to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes.

Stop Guessing—See the Problem

Many plumbing issues look the same from the outside—slow drains, backups, odors—but the causes can be completely different.

A sewer camera inspection allows us to:

  • Identify blockages
  • Locate damaged or collapsed pipes
  • Detect tree root intrusion
  • Find pipe offsets or misalignments
  • Assess aging or deteriorated sewer lines

By seeing inside the pipe, we eliminate guesswork and unnecessary repairs.

When a Camera Inspection Is the Right Move

A camera inspection is often the smartest first step if you're experiencing:

  • Frequent drain backups
  • Slow drains throughout the home
  • Sewer odors inside or outside
  • Gurgling toilets or drains
  • Recurring clogs that keep returning
  • Suspected sewer line damage
  • Plumbing issues before a remodel or home purchase

Instead of repeatedly clearing symptoms, a camera inspection reveals the actual cause.

How Sewer Camera Inspections Work

Our process is straightforward and non-invasive. We insert a high-resolution waterproof camera into the drain or sewer line, which transmits live video as it travels through the pipe. This allows us to inspect the interior condition in real time.

From there, we can pinpoint the exact location of a problem, determine the severity of the issue, recommend targeted repairs, and avoid unnecessary excavation. This approach saves time, money, and frustration.

Common Problems We Find During Sewer Inspections

Camera inspections often reveal issues that would otherwise remain hidden, including:

Tree Root Intrusion

Roots naturally seek moisture and can invade sewer lines, causing repeated blockages and pipe damage.

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Older homes in New Jersey may have clay, cast iron, or aging PVC pipes that crack or collapse over time.

Grease, Sludge & Debris Buildup

Grease and debris can harden inside pipes, restricting flow and causing recurring backups.

Pipe Offsets & Improper Sloping

Improper pipe alignment can cause waste to collect instead of flowing properly.

Knowing exactly which issue you're dealing with changes everything.

Camera Inspections for Older New Jersey Homes

Many homes throughout Somerset County were built decades ago and may still rely on original sewer piping. Over time, these systems can deteriorate without obvious warning signs.

Camera inspections are especially valuable for older homes, properties with mature trees, homes with a history of plumbing issues, buyers purchasing a home, and homeowners planning major renovations. Early detection can prevent major sewer failures and costly repairs.

Why Camera Inspections Save You Money

Without a camera inspection, plumbers may rely on trial-and-error methods that can lead to repeated service calls or unnecessary work.

Camera inspections help:

  • Avoid unnecessary digging
  • Prevent repeated drain cleanings
  • Target repairs accurately
  • Reduce long-term repair costs

It's one of the most cost-effective diagnostic tools in modern plumbing.
