Cincinnati's housing stock runs the full range: clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, and sometimes a mix of all three on the same lateral depending on when a section got patched. A sewer camera inspection is how we find out what's actually down there before anyone recommends lining, bursting, or replacement.
Cincinnati Sewer Pros treats this as a standalone service, not just a sales step. You get recorded footage, a locate on the exact spot of any damage, and a plain explanation of what it means for your repair options.

FAQs
Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
Is a camera inspection worth paying for before getting quotes?
Yes. Without it, a repair quote is a guess based on symptoms. With it, you know the pipe material, the damage location, and the right method before you spend money on a fix.
How do I find out where my sewer line actually runs?
The locator transmitter built into the camera head lets us mark the exact path and depth above ground during the inspection.
How do I know if I have cast iron or clay pipe under my house?
The camera footage shows pipe material directly, which settles the question better than guessing from your home's age alone.
Does the inspection fee count toward a repair?
The inspection cost is credited toward the job if you move forward with a quoted repair.
Can a camera inspection be done before buying a home?
This is a common reason homeowners request one, especially on older properties where the sewer line's condition isn't known.
What happens if the camera finds a blockage it can't get past?
We note the obstruction's location and discuss whether hydro jetting or a different access point is needed to complete the inspection.
