Sewer camera inspection is all we do
Sewer Inspects is a Sterling Heights-based inspection company focused on one thing: showing you the real condition of your sewer line on camera. We're not a general plumbing shop trying to sell you the biggest repair — we diagnose, document, and hand you the evidence so you can make the call.
Over 13+ years working across Metro Detroit, we've scoped lines under 1950s Warren bungalows, 1970s Clinton Township ranches, waterfront homes on Lake St. Clair, and brand-new Macomb Township builds. That range matters: the clay, cast-iron, Orangeburg, and PVC lines under this region each fail in their own way, and knowing what to look for is half the job.
We built the business around a simple frustration homeowners kept describing: a line gets snaked, the backup returns, and nobody ever showed them what was actually wrong. A camera ends that cycle. Put eyes in the pipe, record it, and the guesswork — and the risk of paying for the wrong fix — disappears.
Independent by design
Because we focus on inspection, not excavation, our findings aren't tied to selling you a dig. You get an honest read — including when the line is fine.
Everything recorded
Every inspection produces HD video, still images, distance and endpoint notes, and a written summary. You keep it all.
Clear about limits
We state what the camera reached, what it couldn't, and where it stopped. No overpromising, no scare tactics.
What working with us looks like
Straightforward from the first call
No pressure, no jargon, no surprise invoice. Here's how a typical job goes.
- 1
You call, we listen
Tell us what's happening — a backup, a home you're buying, a repair quote you want checked. We book same-day or next-day when we can, 24/7 for emergencies.
- 2
We scope it on site
We find the cleanout, run the HD camera through the line, and you watch the monitor with us. You see exactly what we see, in real time.
- 3
You get the evidence
Recorded video, still images, inspected distance, pipe-material notes, and a written summary — yours to keep and share with anyone.
- 4
We explain the options
Cleaning, targeted repair, lining, or replacement — with the trade-offs laid out. We diagnose; you decide, without us bidding the dig.
Why homeowners & buyers choose us
Clear answers before costly repairs
A slow drain or backup tells you something is wrong — not where or why. We put a camera in the line and show you exactly what's happening, so you spend money on the right fix.
Recorded HD video, not guesswork
You get the actual footage, still images, inspected distance, pipe-material notes, and a plain-English written summary — evidence you keep before any cleaning, lining, or excavation.
Inspection-only, no upsell pressure
We diagnose lines on camera. Because we're not bidding your dig, our findings stay independent — separate from repair estimates so you can make an unbiased decision.
Line locating & depth
When the camera reaches a defect, our sonde locator estimates its surface position and depth, so a repair crew digs the right spot instead of the whole yard.
24/7 emergency backup response
Same-day and next-day appointments across Metro Detroit, with 24/7 emergency backup response.
Local Metro Detroit expertise
We know the clay, cast-iron, and Orangeburg laterals under older Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne County homes — and the backups that come with heavy Michigan rain.
Report-ready for buyers & insurers
Documentation formatted for home purchases, pre-sale disclosures, and insurance or repair files — with the access limitations clearly stated.
