Sewer Camera Inspection in Hillsboro, OR

Many older homes have clay, cast iron or Orangeburg sewer lines that can crack, sag or fill with roots. We run a high-resolution camera from a cleanout to the city connection or septic tank. The video shows offsets, bellies, roots and breaks along with their depth and location. You keep a copy of the recording for your records.

We check the water heater age by serial number, look for rust, leaks and sediment and test the relief valve. We confirm proper venting, gas connections, expansion tanks and drain pans.
