Video Camera Inspection in Teaneck, NJ

Video Camera Inspection in Teaneck

Most inspections don't turn up anything dramatic — just confirmation that a line is fine after a routine cleaning, or that grease buildup is the reason it's slow. When there is a real problem, a camera is what catches it: a break, a shift, a backpitch, or a belly in the line that a snake alone would miss.

Occasionally we find something that shouldn't be there at all — we've pulled watches, wigs, clothing, and worse out of lines. It's part of why a camera look, not a guess, decides whether a job stays a routine cleaning or turns into repair work.

New Jersey construction uses a lot of PVC, but Teaneck's older homes are more likely to still have original clay or cast-iron lines, especially near the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek where groundwater and sewer strain run higher during heavy rain. A camera inspection tells us which one we're dealing with before we recommend hydro jetting or repair — jetting an old, crumbling line can collapse it, so we won't do it without seeing the line first.

The video and report from every inspection are saved to your Rooter Record™ and available anytime through our customer portal. For a shared building or multi-unit property, inspecting a shared line to determine whose responsibility a clog is is available as a paid add-on, around $650, rather than a standard part of every call.
