Missouri's older housing in St. Louis and Kansas City often comes with clay sewer laterals that have been in the ground for many decades, and mature trees along those streets send roots into the joints. Much of southern Missouri sits on karst limestone, where voids in the rock can leave pipe unsupported. Clay soils elsewhere swell and shrink with the seasons, and rural homes commonly use septic. A camera run for a property in Missouri records the material and condition of the full line. Sewer Inspect Pros books the inspection.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

Common questions about Sewer Camera Inspection in Missouri — answered by our local plumbers.

Talk to a real person

What does a sewer camera inspection actually show?

It shows the inside of your main sewer line on video: the pipe material, the joints, and any roots, cracks, sags, offsets or debris, along with where the line meets the public main or septic tank. A distance counter records how far each problem sits from the access point, which helps anyone who later needs to dig or repair at that exact spot.

What is Orangeburg pipe, and why do inspectors flag it?

Orangeburg is a fiber pipe made from wood pulp and coal tar pitch, installed widely from the 1940s into the 1970s. After a few decades underground it starts to soften, blister and flatten under the weight of the soil, and on camera it often looks oval. Because it keeps deforming, most owners plan to replace it rather than patch it.

What affects the price of a sewer camera inspection?

Price depends on how easy the line is to reach, how long it runs, whether it has to be cleared before the camera can pass, whether a locate and written report are included, and whether the job is residential or commercial. A line with an outdoor cleanout is simpler than one that means pulling a toilet or going in through a roof vent. Ask what the visit includes when you book.

How often should a sewer line be inspected?

There is no single rule. Many owners scope a line when they buy a home and again only if symptoms show up. Homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg pipe, large trees nearby, or a known defect being monitored benefit from a scope every year or two. Comparing each new video with the last one shows whether anything is changing.

Do I get to keep the sewer inspection video?

You should. Ask for the recorded footage as a file or link, along with the written notes, before the visit ends, and keep it with your property records. The video helps with repair bids, home sales and insurance questions, and it gives you a baseline to compare against if the line starts acting up years from now.
