Sewer camera inspection in Spokane Valley, WA

A camera down your sewer line shows roots, cracks, bellies and scale, how far along the line each one sits and how deep, so any repair starts from footage instead of a guess.

A line that is fully blocked has to be cleared before the camera can see past the blockage; clearing is priced on the drain and sewer cleaning pages. Member prices are for Quality Service Club members. Starting prices from our 2026 pricebook. A real person confirms your price before anything is scheduled.

Know the signs

When to put a camera down the line.

A camera turns a sewer from a guess into footage.

Buying a home

A standard home inspection does not include the sewer line. A failing one is a big bill to inherit.

Repeat clogs

A line that keeps backing up after it is cleared has a cause the camera can show.

A sewer smell

Odors in the yard or near a floor drain can mean a cracked or separated pipe.

Before any repair

We film the line before we price lining, bursting or a dig.

Questions

Sewer camera inspection, answered.

Answers from licensed plumbers. Still unsure? Call (509) 535-5946, 24 hours a day.

Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?
Yes, especially for an older home. A standard home inspection does not include the sewer line, and finding a problem before closing gives you room to negotiate; finding it afterward just gives you a bill.
How much does a sewer camera inspection cost?
At Gold Seal, a camera inspection starts from $304 for a line that is clear and $511 with our camera equipment. When we are estimating a sewer repair or replacement, the camera look is free.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes. You should see what we saw, and be able to get a second opinion if you want one. We walk you through the footage, including when it shows nothing needs doing.
Can the camera tell exactly where the problem is?
Yes. The camera reports how far along the line each problem sits, and a transmitter in its head lets us trace the line and mark the spot and its depth from the surface, so any dig is small and in the right place.
What pipe materials should worry me?
Orangeburg above all: a tar-soaked fiber pipe from the mid-century that deforms and collapses. Old clay lets roots in at every joint, and old cast iron scales and corrodes. Each looks different on camera.
