Video Camera Inspection of Drain Lines
A sewer camera inspection, also called a video camera inspection of drain lines, sends a waterproof camera on a flexible cable through your drain or sewer line so we can see its condition on a monitor. It shows roots, cracks, sags, offset joints, grease buildup and collapsed sections, and a locator on the surface can mark exactly where each problem sits. It is how we decide between cleaning, spot repair and replacement without guessing.
Brock Plumbing is a family-owned local plumbing company with licensed technicians, offering Sewer Camera Inspection Services in the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley (Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill, Santa Clarita, Valencia, Newhall, Saugus, Canyon Country and Stevenson Ranch). Every job starts with an upfront written estimate, and we charge by the job, not by the hour.
Brock Plumbing provides sewer camera inspections across the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley in northern Los Angeles County.
Before you spend a dollar on digging or guessing, you should see what’s actually wrong. Brock Plumbing’s sewer camera inspection sends a waterproof HD camera down your line and shows you the exact problem, on screen, in real time — anywhere in the Antelope Valley.
When You Need a Camera Inspection
- Recurring or whole-house backups
- Buying or selling a home (pre-purchase sewer scope)
- Slow drains after previous repairs
- Locating a clog, break, or root intrusion before any digging
What the Camera Finds
Root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipe, bellies (low spots that hold water), grease and scale buildup, offset joints, and exactly how deep and where the problem sits — so any repair is precise instead of exploratory.
Pre-Purchase Sewer Scopes
Buying an older Lancaster, Palmdale, or Santa Clarita home? A sewer scope is the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy — a hidden sewer problem can cost thousands. We provide recorded footage and a clear report you can share with your agent.

From Camera Finding to Next Step

| What we see | What it usually means | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Roots at a joint | A joint has loosened enough for roots to get in | Cut and flush the roots, then consider repair at that joint |
| Standing water in a low spot | A sag or belly in the line | Monitor, or repair the section if it keeps catching debris |
| Heavy grease or scale coating | Buildup narrowing the pipe | Hydro jetting to clean the line |
| Cracks or an offset joint | Ground movement or aging pipe | Spot repair or a trenchless option |
| Collapsed or crushed section | Line failure | Excavation or trenchless replacement of that section |

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs
What does a sewer camera inspection show?
Root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipe, bellies that hold water, grease and scale buildup and offset joints, plus where each problem sits so any repair is precise.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a home?
If you are buying an older home in Lancaster, Palmdale or Santa Clarita, a pre-purchase sewer scope shows the condition of the line first. We provide recorded footage and a clear report you can share with your agent.
When do I need a camera inspection?
Recurring or whole-house backups, slow drains after earlier repairs, or before any digging to locate a clog, break or root intrusion.
How does the camera help decide on a repair?
It lets us choose between cleaning, spot repair and replacement without guessing, because a locator on the surface marks where each problem is.
