When something is wrong with your plumbing and the cause is not obvious, a sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to find out exactly what is going on. Instead of guessing or digging up your yard on the assumption of where a problem might be, we send a small camera through your pipes and get a clear, real-time look at the condition of your sewer line. 72 Degrees Comfort Company provides professional sewer camera inspection services for homeowners and businesses throughout Des Moines, Ankeny, and the greater Central Iowa area.

 

When Should You Get a Sewer Camera Inspection?

​

A sewer camera inspection is useful in more situations than most people realize. If you are dealing with recurring drain clogs, slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, or water backing up into your fixtures, a camera inspection will quickly identify whether the issue is a blockage, a damaged pipe, or something else entirely.

​

It is also a smart step any time you are buying or selling a home. Sewer lines are not something that comes up in a standard home inspection, and problems in older lines can be expensive to repair. Having the line inspected before closing gives buyers peace of mind and helps sellers avoid surprises during negotiations.

Beyond repairs and real estate transactions, a camera inspection is a practical way to check on the overall condition of your sewer line, especially if your home is older or has large trees growing near the line. Catching a small issue early is almost always less expensive than dealing with it after it has had time to get worse.

​

What We Look For

​

Once the camera is in the line, we can see the full picture of what is happening inside your pipes. We look for tree root intrusion, which is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Central Iowa. We also check for cracks, corrosion, joint separation, bellied sections of pipe where water and debris collect, and buildup that has narrowed the line to the point where it is restricting flow. If there is a blockage, the camera shows us exactly where it is and what is causing it so we can address it the right way.

​

Clear Answers Before Any Work Begins

​

One of the biggest advantages of a sewer camera inspection is that it takes the guesswork out of the process. You will know exactly what is wrong, where it is, and what your options are before any repair work is recommended. There is no unnecessary digging, no assumption-based repairs, and no pressure to do more than what the situation actually calls for. If everything looks good, we will tell you that too.

​

After the inspection, we walk you through our findings and explain what we saw in plain terms. If a repair is needed, we will outline your options clearly so you can make the decision that is right for you.
