Maine's frost can reach several feet deep, and much of the state has ledge rock close to the surface, which makes digging up a sewer line slow and costly. Many older homes in Portland, Bangor and the coastal towns have clay or cast iron laterals, and a large share of rural homes use septic systems. Knowing exactly where a defect is before anyone brings in an excavator saves time and yard. Sewer Inspect Pros books sewer camera inspections for homes in Maine, with recorded footage and distance marks you can share with a contractor.

Sewer Camera Inspection FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Sewer Camera Inspection

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

Talk to a real person

Are roots in the sewer line a reason to walk away from a house?

Not by themselves. Light roots at a joint or two are common in older lines and can often be cleared, with the joints sealed later by a liner or spot repair. What matters more is whether roots have cracked or displaced the pipe, how many joints are affected and what the pipe is made of. Get a repair quote based on the footage before deciding.

Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street?

In most U.S. cities the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to at least the property line, and often all the way to the connection at the public main, including the part under the street. Rules differ from city to city. Check with the public works department that serves Maine before you approve repairs, so you know which section is yours.

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.

What happens if the camera can't reach the public main?

Cameras can stop at a heavy blockage, a collapsed section, a sharp bend or a deep belly full of water. The report should note the distance where the camera stopped and why. Often the line is cleared and the run tried again, or the tech enters from a second access point. A stop point is a finding in itself, since it marks where something is wrong.
