Sewer Camera Inspection in Key West, FL
Guessing about a drain problem is expensive. A camera inspection puts a waterproof camera inside your line and shows you — on a monitor, in real time — exactly what's wrong: roots, grease, a belly, a break, or just buildup. You see what we see, so every recommendation that follows is based on evidence, not a guess.
Our inspection rigs carry self-leveling cameras with distance counters, so we can tell you not just what's wrong but exactly where — down to the foot. That precision matters on an island where every dig has to be scheduled around tight access and high water tables: you only open the ground where the problem actually is.
Inspections make sense before buying an older Key West home, when a drain keeps recurring, or before anyone recommends repair work. Many island real estate agents now suggest one before closing on any pre-1970s property. The footage is yours to keep.
When to get a camera inspection
- The same drain or sewer line clogs repeatedly
- You're buying an older home in Old Town or New Town
- Someone recommends digging up or replacing a line
- Sewage odors with no visible backup
- Lush, soggy patches in the yard above the sewer line
- The home was built before 1970 and the sewer line's history is unknown
How the inspection works
1. Access the line
We enter through an existing cleanout — usually outside near the foundation or in a utility area. If your property has no accessible cleanout, we'll explain the options before doing anything invasive.
2. Run the camera
The camera travels the full length of the line to the city main while we watch live. We narrate what we're seeing — roots at 22 feet, standing water at 40 — so you're not watching a mystery movie.
3. Mark and measure
The distance counter and locator tell us the exact depth and position of every issue. We mark problem spots at the surface, which makes any follow-up repair surgical instead of exploratory.
4. Show you the footage
You watch the recording with us and get a copy. Our recommendation — jetting, spot repair, or full replacement — follows directly from what the camera showed, and you can see exactly why.
Why camera inspections matter in Key West
Key West's sewer lines live a hard life. Limestone and coral substrate shifts over the decades, creating bellies — low spots where waste settles and lines eventually fail. Old Town's conch houses and early-1900s cottages often still connect through original clay or cast-iron laterals, and tree roots hunt those joints relentlessly in our year-round growing season. Add the island's high water table, and a cracked line can take on groundwater that overwhelms the system during heavy rain. A camera inspection is the only way to know which of these you're dealing with before anyone picks up a shovel — and on an island where every repair crew has to come to you, avoiding exploratory digging saves real disruption.
