Camera inspection before anyone puts a shovel in the yard.
Digging is expensive. Guessing is more expensive. We run a camera through the sewer or drain, locate the path and depth, and give you the footage so the next decision — jet, spot repair, or replacement — is aimed at the actual problem.

What camera inspection & line locating actually looks like in Boise.
Thirty-five years under Treasure Valley houses. The conditions here are not the ones in a national plumbing blog.
Buyers in this valley should see the sewer
Older Boise, Garden City, and Eagle homes fail sewer inspections on clay, orangeburg, bellied lines, and root intrusion. A camera before you close is cheaper than a main replacement after you move in. We do a lot of these for buyers and agents.
Locating stops the exploratory trench
We mark the path and the depth so a repair is a hole where the pipe actually is, not a treasure hunt across the lawn.
Footage you can keep
You get to see what we see. If we recommend a repair, it is because of a crack, a belly, or a root ball on the recording — not a feeling.

Camera Inspection & Line Locating questions we get in Boise.
- How long does a sewer camera inspection take?
- Usually under two hours for a typical house, including locating. Longer if access is buried or the line is blocked and has to be opened first.
- Do I need this if I am buying a house in Boise?
- If the home is more than a couple of decades old, yes. A general home inspector is not running a camera down the sewer. That is a separate, worth-it line item.
- What if you find a problem?
- We will tell you whether jetting, a spot repair, or a replacement is the honest next step, with a number. You are not obligated to hire us for the repair, but most people do.
- Can you inspect if the line is currently backed up?
- We clear enough to get the camera through, then inspect. Running a camera into a full blockage just films the blockage.
