Virginia housing ranges from old Richmond and Norfolk homes with clay and cast iron laterals to 1950s and 1960s Northern Virginia subdivisions where Orangeburg pipe was used. Piedmont clay shifts with moisture, and Tidewater's high water table and sandy soils let lines settle. Many rural homes use septic. A sewer camera inspection for a house in Virginia tells you which material you have and how it has held up. Sewer Inspect Pros books the scope and the recorded video for you.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

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

Talk to a real person

What does an offset joint mean on my inspection report?

An offset means two pipe sections no longer line up at the joint, so one edge sticks into the flow. Soil movement, settling, roots and freeze-thaw cycles can all cause it. A slight offset may cause no trouble, while a larger one catches paper, lets roots in and can stop a cleaning cable. The report should list how far down the line each offset sits.

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.

Can the camera find where my sewer line is buried?

Yes, if the camera has a sonde, a small transmitter near the head. A receiver above ground picks up its signal, marks the spot and estimates the depth. Techs usually mark defects and bends with paint or flags. This does not mark gas, water or power lines, so call 811 before anyone digs in the yard.

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.
