Sewer Scope Inspections
in Milwaukee
We insert a flexible, high-resolution waterproof camera into your pipes and drainage lines to thoroughly assess your underground sewer system. With real-time visuals and location recordings, we diagnose any intruding root growth, cracked pipes, blockages, leaks and other issues causing costly headaches. We identify issues before they require emergency replacement.
Signs of a Blocked or Clogged Sewer Line
- Slow-Draining Toilets, Basins, Baths or Tubs
Slow drainage in toilets, basins, baths or tubs can reduce water flow. For example, a slow-draining bathtub can take over 15 minutes to drain completely, whereas normal drainage might take around 5-7 minutes. - Toilets Fill Higher Than Usual or Overflow
When a sewer line is blocked, toilets can fill higher than usual or even overflow. An overflowing toilet can release an average of 1.6 gallons (about 6 liters) of water per flush onto the bathroom floor. - Overflowing Sewer Access Points, Like Manholes
Overflowing sewer access points can result in the release of a substantial volume of sewage. Manholes can hold thousands of gallons of wastewater, and an overflow can lead to a significant environmental and health hazard. - Gurgling Noises in Sanitary Drains
Gurgling noises in sanitary drains are auditory signs of potential sewer line blockages. Gurgling noises can occur when air is trapped in the blocked sewer line and forced through water in the drain. - Overflowing Gully Traps or Relief Gullies
When gully traps or overflow relief gullies in your yard overflow due to sewer line issues, they can release a noticeable amount of sewage. This can result in significant yard contamination, which may require costly cleanup and restoration.
How Do Sewer Camera Inspections Work?
Roto-Rooter's fiber optic sewer cameras have HD or 4K resolution, providing clear visuals of the inside of pipes. Some cameras can inspect pipes up to 300 feet or more, depending on the model and equipment required. During the sewer scope inspection, the camera captures continuous footage, often at a rate of several feet per second.
This results in hours of recorded video, depending on the length of the sewer line. Cameras can capture hundreds to thousands of images per minute, allowing for a detailed visual assessment of the pipe's condition. Depending on what’s needed, sewer scope inspection reports typically include data on pipe diameter, material, length and the presence of blockages or damage.
Sewer Camera Inspections for Home Buyers
Most home buyers know the importance of inspecting a house's sewer and drain system. If the pipes are cracked, rusty or damaged, they should be repaired before closing on the house. Houses 20 years old or older could have faulty or clogged sewer lines requiring costly repairs.
When buying a home, schedule a sewer camera inspection from Roto-Rooter’s drain cleaning experts to check the sewer line for cracks, tree roots and other problems. If any are found, negotiate with the seller about repairing them before you close on the house. Having Milwaukee's drain and sewer experts find collapsing pipes or major tree root clogs in your sewer line before buying the home can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.

Excellent service all around. From quick response to my email request to the time they were able to stop by and check out the job I needed done. Tech doing the work, Tony, was fantastic. I was really interested in the process and he was ok with me watching and asking questions while he worked. Best interaction I've had with a professional helping on an issue I was having in my house. Also gave me advice on how to mitigate possible future issues. Very impressed.

I had a clogged main line that can only be accessed from my crawl space and he and his partner not only cleared the line, but fixed 2 clean out covers, one of which I didn't know had rotted away to nothing. My house is not only reclaimed but made significantly better. I am a very happy customer and these guys are a credit to your company.</span></p>
